The Laurélie de la Salle Paysages studio is a design and project management consultancy based in the Alpes Maritimes and operating throughout the Mediterranean, particularly on the French riviera.

We design gardens and outdoor living spaces that are as varied in the treatment of plant environments as in the creation of features such as stone walls and staircases, ironwork, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, swimming areas and natural pools, orchards and vegetable gardens, green roofs, ponds and fountains, children’s play areas, etc… To bring out the magic of the night, we design the lighting to match the atmosphere of the plants and the light.

We work on parks of several hectares as well as small urban gardens or terraces.

We offer tailor-made solutions for every project. Whether it’s for a sketch, the submission of a permit or a complete project that goes right through to acceptance of the work or regular monitoring of the garden over the years.

With a scientific background from the Riviera horticultural high school and the university of Science in Marseille, I enriched my education by studying drawing and then entering the Ecole Nationale Supérieure du Paysage de Versailles. After graduating with the jury’s congratulation in 1996, under the guidance of landscape architect Alain Richert, then I worked for a short year for the Jacqueline Osty studio in Paris.

In 1997, I set up my own landscape company in the sunshine of my native Provence.
Since then, I’ve designed hundreds of parks and gardens . Over the years, my love and observation of nature, combined with an awareness of current environmental issues, have led me to put my experience to work in responsible gardens.

Drought-resistant plants, natural pools, organic soil improvers, organic treatments and alternatives to lawns are now the mainstays of my projects. Today, sustainable development is no longer an option but a priority.
