Planting beds, borders and mulching

Plants bring life and character to a garden. We design harmonious planting beds, conceived to offer colour and volume throughout the year, with manageable upkeep.

Trees, shrubs, perennials and grasses are selected to suit the Gironde climate and your soil, then planted and mulched according to best practice.

Thoughtful, sustainable design

Creating a planting bed begins with an analysis of the soil, exposure and how the garden is used: this is what ensures plants establish well and keeps long-term maintenance to a minimum. We then work on volumes, heights and plant combinations to achieve an attractive result in every season, playing on evergreen and deciduous foliage, staggered flowering periods, textures and contrasting shapes.

An atmosphere to match your style

Natural, contemporary, Mediterranean or rustic: depending on the mood sought, planting beds combine perennials, grasses, shrubs and trees, always chosen for the coherence of the project. When well placed, they structure spaces, add relief and enhance pathways, façades, terraces and relaxation areas.

Mulching and finishing touches

To showcase the plants and protect the soil, we use organic mulches (wood chips, bark, etc.) or mineral mulches (gravel, pebbles, volcanic rock, etc.), along with soil improvers and substrates suited to each plant. These finishing touches retain moisture, reduce maintenance and enhance the overall look of the garden.
