What Boccard Parcs et Jardins does

Boccard Parcs et Jardins SA is a Swiss landscaping services company founded in 1862, headquartered in Cartigny in the Canton of Geneva, and operating as a subsidiary of the idverde FR group since 2024. The company delivers end-to-end landscaping across three integrated service pillars: a Design Office (Bureau d'\u00e9tude) staffed by 4 landscape architects and 2 engineers handling approximately 190 projects and 260,000 m\u00b2 of design work annually; a Creation division of ~55 field staff executing roughly 35 construction projects per year and planting around 2,600 new trees; and a Maintenance division of ~45 staff running 220 recurring contracts covering 180,000 m\u00b2 of biodiversity areas, including an 'outdoor concierge' extension. Combined headcount exceeds 100 employees. Boccard differentiates through specialty expertise in green roofs, nature-based solutions, permeable pavements, water management systems (rain gardens, filtration basins, wetlands), and intelligent automatic watering systems using humidity sensors and weather-connected controls.

The company monetizes primarily through professional services and project-based contracts: design fees, turnkey construction, and recurring multi-year maintenance engagements. Pricing is quote-based, customized to project scope, materials, and complexity, with no public pricing tiers. Go-to-market is direct sales-led across four customer segments (private residential, public/municipal, corporate/institutional, and real estate developers), supported by a portfolio-driven website and active partnerships with Geneva-region architecture and construction firms. The company achieved B Corp certification in March 2025, reinforcing an ESG positioning around biodiversity, sustainable landscape management, and water stewardship. Operating geographies are concentrated in the Canton of Geneva, with selective project presence in Vaud and France. The company does not disclose revenue or financial performance metrics.
