Landscaping & Garden Installation

Bringing Your Garden to Life

With over 25 years of experience, The Dutch Gardener transforms outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional gardens that complement your home and the surrounding landscape.

From preparing the ground and creating garden structures to planting trees, shrubs and perennials, we take care of the practical details that turn a garden design into a finished outdoor space. Our approach combines Dutch expertise, careful planning and an eye for detail to create gardens that are both attractive and suited to the French climate.

Whether you are starting with a blank canvas or transforming an existing garden, we work with you to bring your ideas to life.

From Plan to Reality

Every successful garden begins with a clear plan. We work closely with you to understand your wishes, the character of your property and how you want to use your outdoor space.

Our landscaping and installation services can include:

  • Ground Preparation – preparing and levelling the ground to create the right foundation for your garden.
  • Planting – selecting and planting trees, shrubs, hedges, perennials and ornamental grasses to create structure, colour and year-round interest.
  • Garden Borders – creating balanced planting schemes with different textures, heights and seasonal interest.
  • Paths and Terraces – incorporating practical and attractive surfaces that connect different areas of your garden.
  • Garden Features – adding focal points such as pergolas, water features and decorative elements.
  • Finishing Touches – completing the details that bring the whole garden together.

Each project is tailored to the property, your preferences and the available space.

Gardens Designed for the French Climate

Gardening in France comes with its own challenges, particularly during hot, dry summers. Plant selection, soil preparation and thoughtful garden planning are essential to creating a garden that thrives in its surroundings.

We consider the local conditions when selecting plants and planning layouts, with attention to drought tolerance, soil type, exposure and the amount of maintenance required.

Our aim is to create gardens that look beautiful while remaining practical and manageable throughout the seasons.

A Garden That Suits Your Lifestyle

Your garden should reflect the way you want to live outdoors. Whether you dream of a relaxed country garden, elegant planting borders, a welcoming terrace or a complete transformation of your property, we help turn your ideas into reality.

For owners of second homes in France, we can also consider how the garden will perform while you are away, choosing suitable plants and practical solutions to help keep maintenance manageable.

From smaller garden improvements to larger landscaping projects, we approach every installation with care, attention to detail and respect for the character of your property.
