From the advice visit to the works

Solid and proven, our methodology comes from the École nationale supérieure de paysage de Versailles, where Florence trained.

We produce all the documents needed for your park, garden or terrace project, and we run the call for tenders to choose the companies best suited to it.

We then supervise the works to make sure that the spirit of the project, its quality and its budget are respected.

Florence Merrien, garden designer and creator in the landscape and a graduate of the École nationale supérieure de paysage, will guide you.

We support you
à la carte

Expecting a solid, well-supervised project from a landscape architect? Our methodology guides you from the advice visit to the works. Everything starts with an advice visit. You then move forward at your own pace: each step goes a little further than the one before, and what you have already paid is deducted from the next, so you never pay twice.

  1. Always

    Garden advice visit

    An appointment at your home to gauge your needs and find the package that suits you.
    €240 incl. VAT
    Advice visit in a garden

    We come to your home, look at the site with you and talk about your wishes. You come away knowing which package best suits your project.

    Its price is deducted if you go on to another package. Learn more about the advice visit.

  2. Your choice

    Landscape sketch

    An analysis of the site and a watercolour sketch reveal the potential of your garden.

    The sketch is the foundation on which your garden project is built. The site analysis looks at your needs and wishes, and places your park, garden or terrace in its geographical and historical context. From it comes the sketch, the artistic expression of the project.

    Includes

    • Advice visit at your home
    • Analysis of the site and of your needs
    • Watercolour sketch
  3. Your choice

    Landscape design

    We take the sketch further: site plan, atmospheres, plant palette and budget estimate.

    Once you have approved the sketch, we produce all the documents you need to understand and approve your garden project.

    Includes, in addition to the sketch

    • Annotated site plan
    • Mood sketches and sections
    • Plant palette
    • Budget estimate
  4. Your choice

    Landscape design and creation

    A complete commission, from design to site supervision, with the works carried out by our partner companies.

    aTechnical study

    We produce the technical documents needed to carry out your project, and select the best suppliers, contractors and materials for your park, garden, terrace or patio.

    Includes

    • Technical specifications and planting plan
    • Lists of plants, materials and furniture
    • Call for tenders and choice of contractors

    bSite supervision

    Once the craftspeople and contractors have been chosen, we make sure your project is carried out as designed at every stage. Regular meetings and written reports let you follow your garden project with peace of mind.

    Includes

    • Site meetings and reports
    • Adjustments if needed
  5. Afterwards

    Aftercare

    A trusted company maintains your garden, and we come back every year to see how it is growing.

    We select a trusted company to maintain your garden as often as suits you, and we come back once a year to see how it is growing.

    To keep the garden alive

    • Selection of a trusted maintenance company
    • Maintenance as often as suits you
    • A yearly visit to see how the garden is growing
    • Recommended adjustments, agreed with you

Active Listening

Listening to you and understanding you is essential to the success of your project.

To that end, we have set up a complete way of keeping in touch: a questionnaire on your wishes and needs before the project starts, a WhatsApp group and regular meetings, in person or online.

This way we get to know each other and stay in touch throughout the project, and even after!

Art As a source of inspiration

Offering you a unique garden project that suits you is essential to us.

To achieve this, we work and think with pencil and brush, and often draw our inspiration from the world of art: painting, haute couture, architecture and more.

Frequently asked questions

How does a garden project with FLAURE work?

It always starts with an advice visit at your home. You then choose the package that suits you (sketch, design or creation) and, if you wish, aftercare. The price of each step is deducted from the next: you move forward at your own pace.

Can I stop after the sketch?

Yes. You can stop at any step, and if you continue, the price of the previous step is deducted from the next.

How long does a garden project take?

It depends on the size of the garden, the package chosen and the companies’ availability. After the advice visit, we propose a schedule suited to your project, taking the planting seasons into account.

Shall we talk about your project?

Would you like to landscape your park, garden, terrace, patio or balcony?
