Les Jardins de Matthieu

What Les Jardins de Matthieu does

Les Jardins de Matthieu is a French landscape gardening business (paysagiste) founded in 2009 and registered as an Entreprise Individuelle (sole proprietorship) under founder Matthieu CARLA. It operates from 7 chemin de las brocos in Cugnaux, in the Toulouse metropolitan area, serving residential property owners across the Occitanie region in southern France.

The company delivers three core service lines: custom landscape creation (Création paysagère) including terraces, masonry, irrigation, rockwork, fencing, fountains, and garden sheds designed from bespoke 3D plans; swimming pool installation (Création de piscine) covering in-ground, above-ground wooden, and natural pools; and ongoing garden maintenance (Entretien) featuring robotic mowers with daily mulching, hedge trimming, and shrub pruning. A client portal (Espace clients) supports post-installation maintenance relationships. All projects are managed by a single point of contact coordinating every exterior trade from design to execution, with an explicit preference for local suppliers and "made in France" materials.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with no public pricing or catalog: customers book consultations through the company website (including an online appointment system) or by phone. Services are delivered on-site at customer properties. Revenue is project-based for creation and pool work, with maintenance offered as a recurring stream that qualifies for a 50% French income tax credit. Headcount stands at 5 employees; no funding, partnerships beyond regional Instagram collaborations, or expansion outside Occitanie are disclosed. The company received the 2023 Prix coup de coeur du jury des étudiants from Carré des Jardiniers.

Broad incumbents

• TruGreen: Large US lawn and landscaping services company focused on residential recurring maintenance. Comparable on the maintenance-led service model and use of branded equipment, though much larger and geographically separate.
• Ground Control (UK): Large UK landscaping and grounds maintenance provider. Comparable on integrated design, installation, and recurring maintenance service model for residential and commercial clients, though operating in a different geography.
• Idverde: Leading European provider of landscaping and grounds maintenance services with significant operations in France. Comparable on landscaping design, installation, and maintenance, but serves a much wider geography and customer base including commercial and public-sector clients.

Direct peers

• Verdi Paysage: French landscaping and ecological engineering firm offering garden design, creation, and maintenance across multiple regions. Comparable on full-service residential and public landscaping, though operates at significantly greater scale than Les Jardins de Matthieu.
• Daniel Moquet Signe Vos Allées: Largest franchise network of residential landscapers in France, offering custom driveways, alleys, terraces, fencing, and garden design. Directly comparable to Les Jardins de Matthieu on custom residential landscaping and 3D design in the French market.
• Greenstyle (UNEP network member): UNEP-affiliated French landscaping firm providing landscape design, planting, and maintenance services. Comparable as a member of the same professional association (referenced via @unepoccitanie in the subject's marketing) and as a competitor for residential landscaping projects in France.

Others

• Paysagistes de France: Professional association representing French landscaping companies, including the UNEP network referenced in the subject's marketing. Comparable as an ecosystem counterpart that defines standards, training, and visibility for French landscape professionals similar to Les Jardins de Matthieu.

Regional players

• Jardiland: Major French garden center chain. Comparable as an adjacent ecosystem participant addressing the same residential gardening and outdoor living consumer, though operating as a retailer rather than a service provider.
• Botanic: French garden center and home & garden retailer with strong presence in Occitanie. While primarily retail, it is adjacent on the residential gardening demand funnel — customers discover gardens at retail and convert to installation services like those Les Jardins de Matthieu provides.
• Hubert Gallée Paysagiste: Independent French landscaping professional offering garden design and maintenance. Comparable on the custom residential landscaping model, though based in a different French region and operating at similar small-business scale.
