SEPA Sports and Landscapes

What SEPA Sports and Landscapes does

Sports et Paysages SEPA is a French landscaping services firm headquartered in Puiseux-Pontoise (Val-d'Oise) that operates exclusively in the Île-de-France region. Founded in 1937 (as Maurice Villette) and operating under its current name since 1976, the company employs 132 people and reported €18 million in revenue for FY2024. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cap Vert Group, a multi-trade landscaping group with 1,200+ employees, €180 million in 2025 revenue, and four operating poles (Arbre, Paysage, Eau, Infrastructure).

SEPA delivers three core service lines: landscape creation (terraces, wooden structures, masonry, metalwork, fencing, civil engineering, automatic irrigation, fountains, lighting), year-round maintenance (mowing, weeding, pruning, planting, leaf collection using differentiated environmental management and electric or B100-powered vehicles), and arboricultural work (pruning, cabling, dismantling, phytosanitary diagnostics). Project design and execution planning are handled by an in-house study bureau (bureau d'études), which differentiates SEPA from purely execution-oriented peers.

The business operates a direct sales-led GTM targeting three customer segments: French public procurement (municipalities managing parks, roads, and public spaces, including Paris for Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes), property developers (Eiffage Immobilier, Nexity, CDC Habitat for the Olympic Athletes Village; RedTree Capital for the Silly project), and individual homeowners. Pricing is quote-based under project contracts with a 30% deposit on acceptance, and SEPA holds eight Qualipaysage certifications plus agrément IF00598, which are prerequisites for many French tenders. The company is owned at the parent level by Ambienta (sustainability-focused investor, since 2021) and Evolem (since 2020), with Anthony Brunet serving as President since 2010.
