Water where it matters
Fast-drying soil, struggling plants or unclear irrigation can make a garden demanding. We assess the needs, irrigation network and priorities to refine watering and select plants suited to the place.

Private gardens
shaped by the French Riviera.
The light here is generous. In return, the sun, landscape and seasons call for particular care. Orizon designs, builds and maintains gardens that respond to this setting and to the way you wish to live.

Our region
One climate,
many different gardens.
A coastal garden needs a different approach from a terraced hillside near Grasse. Before proposing planting or landscaping, we observe what makes each place distinct.
Soil and terrain
Sometimes shallow or calcareous soils, slopes and terraces shape root growth and the movement of water. Understanding them guides soil preparation, planting and the sequence of work.
Light and exposure
Heat, shade, wind and salt spray vary considerably between properties. Working with these conditions helps create comfortable places to spend time and planting that belongs together.
Main homes and second homes

Not a list of problems.
From a distance, it can be hard to know what has been done, what can wait or why work is needed. We organise follow-up, seasonal priorities and communication with the people on site.
Your private space can bring together advice, photographs, schedules and decisions. You retain a clear picture of the garden, while your caretaker or gardener has practical guidance between our visits.

From the project to the seasons ahead.
Entrust us with one stage, or build a longer-term relationship.
Design and build
Transform an established garden, rethink the planting or create a new outdoor living space. We shape the project and organise its delivery with our team and the right specialist contractors.
Care and develop
Pruning, horticultural care and seasonal follow-up preserve the garden’s intention. We adapt the work to its growth, your presence and the level of care you wish to maintain.
Oversee and share knowledge
Coordinate contractors, prioritise work and guide the people caring for the place. One method connects strategic decisions with everyday work.
Local understanding,
built through experience.
Based in the region since 2007, Norman de Sousa worked with several local businesses before founding his own in 2014. Work in demanding private gardens shaped his understanding of the climate, his methods and his attention to client relationships.
Grasse and its surrounding hills, Mougins, Cannes and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat: we consider projects across the French Riviera according to their location, scale and follow-up needs. For a property elsewhere in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, let us first discuss the support you need.
