Crea'Terre

What Crea'Terre offers English speakers in Grasse

Crea'Terre does terrassement, the earthworks stage that comes before anything visible: excavating for a pool, digging villa foundations, reshaping a whole plot, and building enrochement, retaining walls made from natural rock. It also handles assainissement, meaning a septic tank or a connection to the mains sewer, plus spoil removal and the landscaping afterwards. If your project on a sloping Riviera plot has stalled because nobody will quote the groundworks, this is that specialist rather than a gardener.

Benoît Martin runs it and the reviews are unusually consistent on two points. The work is careful around what is already there: one client had excavation done delicately around oaks several centuries old, another had trees relocated rather than removed. And the pricing holds, with two separate clients using the same phrase about no unpleasant surprises, and several describing him as the terrassier they now use by default and recommend on. He is also credited with improving the design itself, suggesting how to grade slopes and where to place trees, which is advice most groundworks contractors do not offer. English is confirmed by a client who had garden work done and notes he speaks it well for international clients on the Riviera. Demolition and VRD work are taken on as well.
