Expert Dry Garden Design in Nice: 20 Years of Mediterranean Expertise
Studio Mathieu Besnier brings two decades of specialized experience in creating exceptional dry gardens throughout Nice and the French Riviera. Our landscape design approach combines California-trained expertise with deep Mediterranean sensibilities, while our project portfolio showcases gardens that thrive in the region’s challenging climate.
Founded after ten transformative years in California studying Japanese garden art and drought-resistant techniques, our studio has been crafting sustainable Mediterranean landscapes since 2015. This unique background allows us to create gardens that are both water-wise and visually stunning… something particularly valuable in Nice’s distinctive microclimate.
Our philosophy centers on the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi, where imperfection becomes beauty and gardens evolve gracefully over time. We don’t just design outdoor spaces; we create living sanctuaries where architecture and nature engage in meaningful dialogue. Each dry garden project in Nice reflects this vision through carefully selected native plants, noble materials, and thoughtful spatial composition.
What sets us apart is our comprehensive understanding of Mediterranean conditions combined with international training. Our technical expertise ensures every garden thrives with minimal water while maximizing biodiversity and visual impact year-round. From initial conception to long-term maintenance guidance, we accompany each project with the attention it deserves.
Based in the Alpes-Maritimes, we understand Nice’s unique terroir and regulatory environment intimately. This local knowledge, paired with our specialized dry garden techniques, allows us to create landscapes that feel both contemporary and deeply rooted in their setting.
