Dolmans Landscaping Group

What Dolmans Landscaping Group does

Dolmans Landscaping Group B.V. is a Netherlands-based, family-owned full-service green space provider founded in 1961 by Hub Dolmans in Limburg, now operating across the Netherlands and Belgium with approximately 900-1000 employees and 15+ regional offices. The group delivers an integrated service portfolio spanning landscape design and advisory, construction and management, tree care, ecological research, and interior greening, organized under multi-brand units including Dolmans Landscaping Services, Pius Floris Boomverzorging, Pius Floris Onderzoek & Advies, Dolmans L+P Ontwerpers en Adviseurs, Dolmans Monsdal (social enterprise), and the InterGroen joint venture with Flora Interieurbeplanting.

The platform is built around a regional office network that combines local anchoring with national scale, enabling direct enterprise sales and public procurement work for Dutch and Belgian municipalities, educational institutions, healthcare providers, residential developers, recreation parks, sports complexes, and corporate campuses. Proprietary operational technology includes the Dolmans Project Insights (DPI) project management tool co-developed with HAS Hogeschool, the Eco Living-Lab at High Tech Campus Eindhoven, i-Tree-based ecosystem services quantification, and Rootwave electrocution equipment for invasive species control.

The business model is professional services led: revenue is generated through project-based contracts, multi-year framework agreements and tenders with municipalities (10% autonomous organic growth reported in 2023 and 2025), supplemented by recurring managed services through InterGroen interior greening (purchase, lease, rental). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific. The company is differentiated by a social entrepreneurship model in which 30%+ of the workforce consists of people with a distance to the labor market (PSO 30+ certified), Great Place to Work certification, ISO 27001 information security compliance, and high-visibility brand sponsorship of women's WorldTeam Team SD Worx-Protime. In 2025, Foreman Capital joined as a new shareholder to support professionalization and further growth.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• BAM Infra Nederland: Large Dutch infrastructure and construction firm with a green public space division. Overlaps with Dolmans in civil-integrated landscaping projects for municipalities but operates as part of a much larger construction portfolio.
• VolkerWessels: Major Dutch construction services group owning Donkergroen and other green-services assets. Competes for the same integrated green-infrastructure tenders as a broad incumbent, but is not a pure-play landscaping specialist.
• Heijmans: Large Dutch listed construction and infrastructure group with a sizable green services division. Competes in the same municipal and infrastructure-integrated tenders but as part of a much broader portfolio, with no specialization comparable to Dolmans' pure-play green focus.

Others

• Pius Floris (other franchisees): Sister franchisees within the Pius Floris network that compete in specialized tree care services. Comparable as arboriculture specialists, but operate as smaller independent franchisees rather than as integrated full-service platforms.

Direct peers

• Krinkels: Major Dutch and Belgian green services contractor offering a comparable full-service portfolio of design, construction, and maintenance for public and private clients. Operates the same regional-office-with-national-scale model and is the most direct competitive mirror to Dolmans in the Benelux market.
• Donkergroen: Dutch green services specialist focused on design, construction, and maintenance of public and commercial green spaces. Part of the VolkerWessels group, providing direct competition in municipal landscaping contracts with similar integrated offerings.
• idverde Nederland (formerly JNS Groep): Dutch arm of Europe's largest landscaping services platform, offering integrated grounds maintenance, construction, and ecological services to municipalities and corporate clients. Highly comparable in service breadth, customer mix, and PE-backed roll-up strategy.
• Van der Ven: Dutch infrastructure and landscaping contractor combining civil engineering with green space realization. Comparable in bundling civil works (roads, water management) with landscaping on the same municipal projects Dolmans bids for.
• Ginkel Groep (Koninklijke Ginkel): Long-established Dutch landscaping and civil green services group with nationwide coverage of public green space, sports fields, and tree care. Comparable in being a multi-branch full-service operator with strong municipal relationships.
• BTL Groep: Dutch landscaping and roof green specialist with significant presence in green wall, roof garden, and public space projects. Comparable in building-integrated greenery and interior greening offerings that overlap with Dolmans' InterGroen and green wall work.
