Garden design and creation
We design and then build your garden: natural or artificial lawn, tree and shrub planting, beds, edging and raised vegetable beds, with plants chosen for the Provençal climate.
A successful garden in Provence starts with careful thought. Before planting anything, we study your plot (aspect, soil, existing plants), the local climate with its heat, drought and wind, and how you want to use the garden: playing, entertaining, growing your own, or simply enjoying the view without spending hours on it.
We also take into account the upkeep the garden will need later on, and your budget. We make you a proposal, verbal or written depending on the project, adjust it with you, then carry out the work from start to finish. If you wish, we then look after the maintenance so the garden keeps its shape.

Frequently asked questions
Natural lawn or artificial grass: which should I choose?
A natural lawn is cooler underfoot but needs watering, mowing and care. Artificial grass stays green without watering, but heats up in the sun and costs more to install. We'll advise you based on how you use it, the aspect and your budget.
When is the best time to plant?
In Provence, autumn is the best season: the soil is still warm and the rain helps roots establish before summer. Spring works too, with regular watering.
Do you draw up garden plans?
We don't draw up plans, but we make you a layout proposal suited to the plot, how you use it and your budget, verbal or written depending on the project. We adjust it together before the final quote.
