Sport and Landscape Nursery

What Sport and Landscape Nursery does

Sport and Landscape Nursery (Pépiniè re Sport et Paysage, legal entity PEPINIERE SPORT ET PAYSAGE) is a French private limited company (SAS) founded in 2004 and headquartered in Frontignan, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. It designs, builds, and maintains landscaping and sports surfaces for municipalities, public agencies, real estate developers, and private clients across southern France, with operational coverage spanning Montpellier, Frontignan, Nî mes, Perpignan, Carcassonne, Millau, and Arles. The company operates as part of the Lajus Entreprises collective of 11–12 independent companies extending from Perpignan to Menton, and sits under parent company THAPSIE (SAS, RCS Toulon 988 876 371).

The company's offering spans two divisions. The landscaping division covers park and garden design, urban development, eco-district planning, landscape masonry, automatic irrigation, roadside and roundabout landscaping, and ongoing green space maintenance. The sports surfaces division covers natural grass fields (built since 1974), FIFA/UEFA-homologated synthetic turf, stabilized surfaces (Drainstab, Renochape), multi-sport areas, and ecological boule courts (Naturstab). Technical differentiation rests on a portfolio of proprietary/branded processes — Drainstab, Renochape, Naturstab, Drain Laser, Substrat S.I, Ré noTurf, Green Tonic, Vertisol, Armagreen — developed in partnership with Sport International and backed by QualiPaysage, Certiphyto, AFNOR P 90 112/113, and FIFA/UEFA certifications.

Revenue is generated through a mix of project-based construction contracts (one-time, €400K–€1.5M budgets for major municipal works) and recurring annual/quarterly maintenance subscriptions for green spaces and sports facilities. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales: direct engagement with public authorities via competitive tender response, plus private quote requests through the website and direct contact. The customer base is overwhelmingly French local governments and public agencies, with select private developer accounts (GGL Aménagement, Promoval) representing a secondary channel. The company employs 11–50 staff and markets primarily through its website, the Lajus Entreprises parent brand, UNEP and QualiPaysage memberships, and professional recruitment platforms.
