De Overhaag

What De Overhaag does

De Overhaag is a privately held Dutch hoveniersbedrijf (gardening and landscaping company) founded in 1975 in Leuth, near Nijmegen, and led since by Ivo following founder Gerard's transition to an advisory role. The firm delivers a full-service portfolio spanning garden design and installation, ongoing green maintenance and management, roof garden systems, certified tree care with VTA reporting, natural play area design, municipal sports field maintenance, and winter ice control. Customers span private individuals, businesses, healthcare and educational institutions, and government bodies, with a consultative sales motion built on free initial site visits, single comprehensive project quotes, and assigned garden specialists and foremen who manage execution through completion.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time project work (garden design, installation, and redesign); recurring maintenance and management contracts with customized annual plans; and specialized professional services such as roof gardens, tree care, natural play areas, sports fields, and ice control. The company also operates Ontwerpstudio de Overhaag, a creative design department housed in the Nidum incubator in Grave, which supplies and installs premium outdoor brands including BOREK furniture, OFYR fire bowls, STIHL mowers, Sfeervol Buitenleven verandas, and Adezz planters, extending the firm into a design-plus-resale model. Operations are regionally scoped to Gelderland / Regio Nijmegen.

De Overhaag holds Groenkeur, ISO 9001, and VCA** certifications and is a member of the VHG branch association, supporting its eligibility for institutional and municipal tenders. The firm maintains partnerships with industry networks and educational bodies such as Helicon MBO Nijmegen, positioning it as an Excellent Leerbedrijf and 2014-2015 Helicon Bedrijfstopper. There is no disclosed proprietary technology, no AI or software product, and no public revenue, headcount, or funding data.

• Schadenberg Groep: Regional Dutch green services provider offering landscaping, maintenance, and tree care. Comparable as a mid-sized competitor to De Overhaag operating in similar segments with overlapping customer types.
• NTP Groep: Dutch green and civil infrastructure services company. Overlaps with De Overhaag in landscaping, grounds maintenance, and municipal contracts, though typically operating at larger scale and broader geographic footprint.

Regional players

• Gebr. Van der Salm (Van der Salm Boskoop): Dutch tree nursery and planting services provider in the Boskoop greenheart region. Comparable as a Dutch plant-supply and planting services peer to De Overhaag's installation work, though not directly competing in maintenance.
