Tegelhandel Boer

What Tegelhandel Boer does

Tegelhandel Boer is a Dutch family-owned specialty retailer founded in 1970 and headquartered in Nieuw-Lekkerland, Netherlands. The company sells decorative paving (sierbestrating) and garden products across five physical showroom locations in the Netherlands, serving two distinct customer segments: private consumers (particulieren) undertaking residential landscaping and professional landscapers (hoveniers) sourcing materials for contracted projects. The product range spans paving stones, ceramic tiles, natural stone, concrete products, garden wood, fencing, garden lighting, and artificial grass, with newer additions including cortenstaal (weathering steel) landscaping elements.

The business operates a traditional hardware/building-materials retail model, generating revenue through direct product sales across its showroom network and supported by a periodic printed catalog (catalog 2026 referenced) and a B2B login portal for professional account management. There is no proprietary technology platform, SaaS layer, or disclosed IP beyond the brand and trade relationships. The firm employs approximately 14 staff across its locations and holds a 4.56/5 average Google rating across 621 reviews, indicating strong local reputation in a visually driven purchase category.

Tegelhandel Boer is privately held by the founding family with no external investors, no disclosed funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no M&A activity. The business shows no AI, automation, or proprietary technology capabilities, and its strategic footprint is confined to the Dutch market with no international expansion signals.

Regional players

• Bestratingsweb.nl: Netherlands-based online comparison/marketplace for paving and landscaping suppliers. Comparable as an emerging channel that aggregates the same Dutch particulier demand Tegelhandel Boer targets, posing disintermediation risk to the traditional showroom model.

Broad incumbents

• Praxis: Major Dutch DIY/home improvement chain selling building materials, tools, tiles and garden supplies. Directly competes on paving, fencing, garden wood and lighting, with broader home-improvement assortment and scale advantage.
• Intratuin: Largest Dutch garden centre chain with broad plant, garden and outdoor-living assortment including paving and garden materials. Comparable as a multi-branch garden retailer in the Netherlands, though it is far larger and plants-led versus Tegelhandel Boer's paving/landscaping focus.
• Karwei: Dutch DIY chain (part of Intergamma) selling home improvement and garden products. Overlaps Tegelhandel Boer on paving, garden wood, fencing and lighting categories for the same consumer DIY and small contractor segments.
• Gamma: Dutch home improvement chain with nationwide store coverage selling tiles, paving, garden wood, fencing and outdoor products. Comparable as a competing multi-branch retailer for the same DIY and small-trade customer base.
• Welkoop: Dutch retail chain focused on garden, pet and outdoor products with physical stores across the Netherlands. Overlaps Tegelhandel Boer in garden materials, fencing and outdoor accessories for both consumers and small trade customers.
• Hornbach: European DIY hypermarket chain operating in the Netherlands with deep building materials, paving and garden assortment. Competes on price, depth of stock and project-oriented positioning with both private and professional customers.

Others

• Schellevis: Dutch manufacturer of pressed concrete tiles and landscaping elements. Functions as a key upstream supplier whose branded products (Schellevis tegels, banden, elementen) Tegelhandel Boer retails; comparable through category adjacency in sierbestrating.

Direct peers

• TuinXtra: Dutch online-led retailer of garden materials including paving, fencing and garden wood. Comparable as a Netherlands-based hard-landscaping retailer competing for the same particulier and hovenier customers, though with a primarily digital model.
• RBM Tuinmaterialen: Dutch specialist retailer of paving, garden wood, fencing and landscaping supplies. Closest direct peer to Tegelhandel Boer given similar product mix (sierbestrating, schuttingen, tuinhout) and dual B2C/B2B trade focus.
