Victor and Gilles will form a complementary son-father duo within Mazéas landscapes. (© Le Courrier du pays de Retz)
Since a year, Gilles Mazéas returned to school in order to begin his professional retraining. At 48 years old, this resident of La Limouzinière has a fairly extensive curriculum vitae in the fields of public works, construction or international transport. “The jobs I did were pretty sedentary and I needed a change. For my house or for my friends, I have carried out many masonry, earthworks. I was convinced that I possessed many qualities necessary for this activity. On the other hand, I had to train myself on the botanical part to which I did not know much. “
It is therefore at the MFR of Machecoul Saint-Even that Gilles took courses. “It was great, a little cramming, no choice, but you have to learn the name of plants, their functions, their particularities and therefore their visuals according to the seasons, but it’s a real pleasure. “
A son and father association
And above all, since the profession is learned in situ, Gilles had to multiply the internships. His son, Victor, is in the business since he was employed in landscaping. The latter, who has already taken his professional flight, is currently completing a specialization in landscape masonry and will join his father at the end of the term.
Very often, especially in the fields of craftsmanship, we see sons taking the path traced by their father. Here, it is Gilles who was initiated into the profession of Victor.
I think we can complement each other. Victor is independent and already has his own way of working. The trick will be to find our respective place. But, I’m not worried, I know that our duo will be complementary, especially technically.
It is often said that working as a family is risky, because the possibilities of not getting along with each other exist and that in the event of bad results family relationships can suffer. “I’m not worried about that, because I know that we won’t have any particular difficulties working together and we haven’t taken huge risks. The structure is an SARL and we have been careful about the investments. We can think about expanding if the results are good. “
A complete offer
Concretely, Mazéas landscapes offers individuals to create their own garden or to carry out maintenance. “We offer our services to create our clients’ gardens according to their wishes. We work with many materials in order to offer a complete offer: paving, paving, landscaped masonry, wooden fence or terrace… Our range is wide. “
The father and son will also suggest planting flower beds, whether Japanese, Mediterranean, French-style… Their priority is to carry out quality developments, using in particular 2D and 3D technological tools. “We also use innovative materials like this Corten steel which gives a rust effect of the most beautiful effect in the gardens and which has qualities of exceptional longevity. “
We hope for such exceptional longevity for this company whose area of operation is located between the Nantes metropolitan area, the country of Retz and the North Vendée.
