Land Development Master Plan Design
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Project Description: Agricultural, Landscape & Architectural Master Planning
We are seeking an experienced Landscape / Agricultural Designer and Architect, or a multidisciplinary design firm, to develop a complete master plan for a private agricultural and residential estate.
Location
Hail City, north-central Saudi Arabia
Semi-arid climate with hot summers and relatively cold winters
Limited water availability, requiring efficient and sustainable design solutions
Land Information
Total Area: 50,000 sqm
Current Condition: Flat and leveled
Frontage:
Western main road frontage: 200 meters
Plot depth: 250 meters
Access:
Main entrance from the west (public road)
Secondary private eastern access (family use only)
Conceptual Land Zoning & Layout
1. Residential Area (Owner Accommodation)
Located behind the western frontage, not directly exposed to the road
Separated by a landscape buffer of trees for privacy, dust, and noise control
Overlooking green areas and/or the artificial lake
Includes private outdoor seating areas
2. Guest Reception & Hospitality Area
Positioned close to the western entrance
Semi-independent from the residential area
Designed to host guests without accessing the deeper agricultural zones
Connected visually and physically to landscaped areas
3. Artificial Lake
Located near the center of the land or in a designated low-elevation zone
Designed as a visual and recreational focal point
Water supply via water tankers
Natural-looking edges, shallow depth, and evaporation-reduction considerations
Surrounded by walking paths, shaded seating, and limited grass areas
Land Reshaping & Soft Contouring
Introduction of gentle elevations and depressions to break land flatness
Height variations ranging approximately 30–80 cm
Smooth slopes suitable for:
Grass planting
Natural drainage
Visual enhancement
Contouring to assist water flow toward planted zones and lake areas
Grass (Turf) Areas
Grass to be planted only in selected zones, not across the entire land
Primary locations:
Around the lake
Near residential and guest areas
Along main walking paths
Designed on slight elevations to support proper drainage and reduce water waste
Agricultural & Landscape Design
Selection of low-water-consumption trees and plants, including:
Date palms
Citrus trees (water-efficient varieties)
Other drought-tolerant species suitable for Hail climate
Clear agricultural zoning away from residential and guest areas
Pedestrian Walking Paths
Network of walking paths connecting:
Residential area
Guest reception
Artificial lake
Key agricultural and landscape zones
Paths to be lined with shade trees suitable for Hail’s climate
Designed for comfort, shade, and year-round usability
Water & Sustainability
Efficient irrigation system adapted to limited water availability
Smart water zoning (trees, grass, agriculture)
Landscape solutions minimizing evaporation and overuse
Scope of Work
Master planning (landscape + agriculture + architecture)
Land contouring and zoning
Irrigation and water management planning
Conceptual architectural layouts
Optional:
3D visualization
Phased execution plan
Preferred Experience
Agricultural estates and farm planning
Arid / semi-arid climate projects
Water-efficient landscape design
Large-scale private land developments
② What the Designer Is Specifically Expected to Deliver
Master plan with zoning diagram
Land contouring concept (levels & slopes)
Artificial lake design
Walking paths layout
Planting strategy suitable for Hail climate
Irrigation concept
Architectural massing for residence and guest areas
Irrigation System & Water Storage (Added to Project Description)
Water Storage Tank
An existing built cylindrical water tank is already available on-site
Tank specifications:
Diameter: 5 meters
Height: 9 meters
Location:
South-Eastern corner of the land
The tank is structurally completed and ready for use
Irrigation Network Design Requirements
Design a complete and efficient irrigation network connected to the existing tank
Irrigation system to be zoned and optimized according to land use:
Agricultural tree zones
Grass (turf) areas
Landscape and shade tree areas
Priority to low-water-consumption irrigation methods, such as:
Drip irrigation for trees and agricultural zones
Controlled irrigation for grass areas
System design must consider:
Limited water availability
Pressure management from the elevated tank
Ease of maintenance and future expansion
Water Management Strategy
Smart water distribution based on:
Plant type
Soil condition
Sun exposure
Minimize water loss through:
Efficient pipe routing
Proper zoning
Evaporation-aware scheduling
Integration with the artificial lake and landscape contours where applicable
