The landscape architect plays a key role in this high-flying exercise by specifying, structuring and underpinning the painting that appears before our eyes every day, avoiding mistakes and creating the environment that suits us. For many years, R\u00e9gis Devall\u00e9e has been known as one of the best examples of this.<\/p>\n<p>Temperatures rise. The air softens. And soon all signals are green, we are determinedly in &#8220;garden mode&#8221;. The idea of spending beautiful afternoons of laziness there, organising big festive dinners or chatting for hours, captures the imagination. To make the dream come true, there is nothing better than a landscape architect like R\u00e9gis Devall\u00e9e, who 30 years ago took over the company founded in 1969 by Christian Devall\u00e9e and for a decade has run the now Devall\u00e9e SA alone. We are talking about a tradition of excellence handed down from father to son, about experience, craftsmanship and enchanting passion.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14781\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14781\" class=\"center wp-image-14781 size-full\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4.Jardin-prive-3.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4.Jardin-prive-3.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4.Jardin-prive-3-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Devall\u00e9e SA<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_14775\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14775\" class=\"center wp-image-14775 size-full\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2.Jardin-prive-2-Photo-LUC-VIATOUR.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" width=\"900\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2.Jardin-prive-2-Photo-LUC-VIATOUR.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2.Jardin-prive-2-Photo-LUC-VIATOUR-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14775\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Luc Viatour<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_14787\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14787\" class=\"center wp-image-14787 size-full\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/6.Jardin-prive-6.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/6.Jardin-prive-6.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/6.Jardin-prive-6-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14787\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Devall\u00e9e SA<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design_from_A_to_Z\"><\/span>Design from A to Z<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A solid cocktail that makes it possible to transform any garden into a harmonious work of art and a true oasis of tranquillity to be enjoyed all year round.

Not only does it fit well with both old and modern facades, it is also very malleable and can easily be bent or folded to highlight or structure a space. It is highly decorative, but can also be used as a simple privacy screen and has become one of the distinguishing features of R\u00e9gis Devall\u00e9e&#8217;s gardens over the years. &#8220;The decor of houses and terraces, which are often rectilinear, can be softened by the organic forms that Corten steel can take, such as the Osmanthus with its beautiful, fragrant white flowers cut into clouds, contrasted with shrubs with a finely defined natural habit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14793\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14793\" class=\"center wp-image-14793 size-full\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8.Luc-Viatour-38-2.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8.Luc-Viatour-38-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8.Luc-Viatour-38-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14793\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Luc Viatour<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_14808\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14808\" class=\"center wp-image-14808 size-full\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/13.Jardin-prive-8.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Devall\u00e9\u00e9\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/13.Jardin-prive-8.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/13.Jardin-prive-8-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14808\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Devall\u00e9e SA<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_right_time_to_design_your_garden\"><\/span>The right time to design your garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a recurring question.

If it is a small project, you can think about it at the end of winter and continue with the planting in spring. On the other hand, if it is a large-scale creation, the concept has to mature and it may take a year before it becomes a reality, because it is always necessary to wait for the right season, with planting taking place from October to March-April.&#8221; Properly thought out, each garden is a work of art in the making, contributing to biodiversity and changing from season to season, for the enjoyment of happy owners and future generations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>R\u00e9gis Devall\u00e9e \u2013\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.devallee.be\/%22%20%5Ct%20%22_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Devall\u00e9e SA.<\/em><\/a><em>\u2028Keperenbergstraat 22, 1701 Itterbeek<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>www.devallee.be\u2028<\/em><a href=\"mailto:info@devallee.be\"><em>info@devallee.be<\/em><\/a><em>\u2028T\u00a0: <\/em><a href=\"%22tel:003225690454\"><em>+32 2 569 04 54<\/em><\/a><em>, 0477 300 303.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well thought out from the start, they are a journey without end, gently bringing peace, joy and infinite well-being.
