Van Helvoirt Green Projects

What Van Helvoirt Green Projects does

Van Helvoirt Groenprojecten BV is a Dutch family-owned green projects company founded in the late 1960s, headquartered in Berkel-Enschot, North Brabant, Netherlands, with a team of approximately 60 multidisciplinary specialists. The company designs, installs, and maintains ecological green spaces across North Brabant and select projects beyond the region (e.g., Little C Rotterdam, Daktuin Knokke), serving healthcare organizations, municipalities, architects, project developers, businesses, educational institutions, and private individuals. Its service portfolio spans three integrated lines: advisory (garden/landscape design, ecological consulting, tree technical advisory, green-health advisory, edible green, interior greening, inspiration and co-creation sessions), construction and installation (gardens, parks, green roofs, facade greenery, natural swimming ponds), and year-round maintenance (tree care, nature maintenance, public space maintenance). Technical differentiators include the world's first water-purifying helophyte filter roof, a proprietary Bodem Injecteer Machine (BIM) for optimizing tree growth places, natural swimming ponds using plant-based filtration, and an award-winning self-developed sustainable office building.

The business model is project-based professional services with direct sales from the Berkel-Enschot headquarters, using free quotations and pricing determined by garden size, design complexity, material choices, and maintenance scope. Revenue streams are diversified across design, installation, maintenance, ecological consulting, tree technical consulting, and green-and-health consulting. The company sells primarily through its comprehensive website portfolio (40+ project categories), workshops and co-creation sessions, and a curated partner ecosystem including Optigrün Benelux (green roof systems), GreentoColour, NatuurPro, and its own co-founded Nature For Health research foundation. Notable customer relationships include 20-year maintenance of Tilburg University campus and multi-site healthcare engagements (Radboudumc, Elisabeth Ziekenhuis, Jeroen Bosch Ziekenhuis, Sint-Maartenskliniek, multiple woonzorgcentra). The company is described as a mid-sized player combining the flexibility of a freelancer with the organizational strength of a larger firm. In 2025, Van Helvoirt transitioned to De Eijk Groep, marking a structural change in ownership after 55+ years as an independent family business.
