Landscape architect & Garden design in Gassin
Michaël Rebotier – Landscape architect
Our Services
In Gassin, MR Paysage designs and maintains villa gardens, from the medieval hilltop village to the AOC vineyards of Bélieu and Bertaud. Our design office, based in nearby La Croix-Valmer, knows the area’s specifics: southern exposure over the Gulf, ridgeline winds, and the granite terroir of the Massif des Maures.
PASSIONATE AND EXPERIENCED
Ever since childhood, Michaël has been passionate about Mediterranean gardens and uses the local plants that have made Gassin so magical. Each project is crafted with a clear vision in mind.

Landscape Architect in Gassin: Our Services
In Gassin, every garden is shaped by its altitude and its specific exposure. Heights overlooking the Gulf, plots bordering the AOC Côtes de Provence vineyards, properties at Hauts de Gassin or Domaine de Saint-Martin: our services adapt to each parcel. Our team supports private clients, estates, and condominiums in Gassin and also operates in the neighboring communes of Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle and La Croix-Valmer.
Landscape design
In Gassin, we design villa gardens that engage with the commune’s Provençal character: olive groves, paving in local stone, terraces opening onto the Gulf, or enclosed gardens at the edge of the vineyards. On the windy heights (Hauts de Gassin, around the medieval village), we favor mistral-resistant species (cork oak, rosemary, lavender, cistus); on the wine estates (Bélieu, Bertaud), the palette extends to classic maquis essences. Each design accounts for orientation, exposure, and your intended use of the garden.
Landscape Maintenance
To preserve the beauty and vitality of the landscapes our teams have built, we offer a meticulous maintenance service for your garden in Gassin. Seasonal pruning adapted to the Mediterranean climate, manual weeding, irrigation checks before peak season, mandatory brush clearing (OLD) for villas at the edge of vineyards or scrubland: each visit is timed to the local calendar and to the rhythm of residences (intensive maintenance from April to September, lighter in the off-season).
Automatic irrigation systems
Gassin’s dry, windy climate, particularly pronounced on the heights and ridgelines, requires rigorous water management, especially in summer, when prefectural restrictions are common. We design programmable automatic irrigation systems with drip irrigation buried beneath beds and microspraying on lawns to limit evaporation. On gardens sloping toward the Gulf or bordering vineyards, the network is divided into distinct zones to respect each exposure’s needs.
Landscape masonry work
On the lands of Gassin, often sloping toward the Gulf or set on viticultural plateaus, landscape masonry structures the garden: low walls in local stone, dry-stone retaining walls, garden steps, calades, and paving matching the old farmhouses and ochre façades of the medieval village. Our teams master traditional techniques as well as contemporary finishes, adapting to properties at Hauts de Gassin and to the farmhouses of Domaine de Saint-Martin alike.
Construction of a water source
A landscape pool integrated within an olive grove, a water mirror at the edge of a terrace overlooking the Gulf, a wall fountain in a Gassin patio, or a natural waterfall fed by rainwater harvesting: we design water features that bring freshness and serenity to your garden, in keeping with the planted essences and the Mediterranean character of the place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of projects does MR Paysage handle?
MR Paysage designs and implements custom landscaping projects for private clients. In Gassin, our team handles both complete villa-garden creation (within the medieval village, at Hauts de Gassin, or bordering AOC vineyards) and seasonal maintenance of existing properties.
Do you only operate in Saint-Tropez?
No, our office is based in La Croix-Valmer (1316 Boulevard de Saint-Raphaël) since 2012, just 10 minutes from Gassin. We operate regularly in Gassin and throughout the Gulf: Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle, La Croix-Valmer, Cogolin, Grimaud. Each project is studied locally to adapt to the terrain, exposure (wind on the ridges, sea spray on the seafront), and architectural environment specific to Gassin.
Do you offer maintenance services after the garden has been designed?
Yes, our teams provide regular and personalized maintenance for Gassin gardens: seasonal pruning of olive trees and Mediterranean species, weeding, automatic irrigation checks, mandatory brush clearing (OLD) for villas at the edge of vineyards or scrubland. For second residences, intensive maintenance during peak season, lighter in the off-season.
How does a project with MR Paysage get started?
The process always begins with an on-site visit and a careful assessment of your needs. The proximity of our office to Gassin allows us to come quickly, whether for a property at the heart of the medieval village or a villa at the edge of vineyards. Our dedicated design team then analyzes the terrain (orientation, wind exposure, constraints related to altitude and the local PLU), proposes a comprehensive vision, and drafts a detailed plan with a quote. Once approved, work begins on a precise schedule, paced to the rhythm of Gassin.
