Håkonsen & Sukke Landskapsentreprenør AS

What Håkonsen & Sukke Landskapsentreprenør AS does

Håkonsen & Sukke Landskapsentreprenør AS (HSL) is a Norwegian landscape construction and maintenance contractor headquartered in Stokke, Vestfold, founded in 2009 by Roar Håkonsen and Brede Sukke. The company operates five core service lines: nyanlegg (new landscape construction), skjøtsel (ongoing maintenance), lekeplass og konstruksjon (playgrounds and outdoor structures), vintervedlikehold (24/7 winter services), and graving/vann og avløp (excavation, water, drainage). It serves municipalities (Tønsberg, Sandefjord, Drammen, Kongsberg), Tier-1 construction firms (Skanska, NCC), public infrastructure clients (Statsbygg, Bane NOR), and private homeowners across Vestfold, Buskerud, and Telemark, executing more than 300 projects per year with a 100+ person workforce that has trained 40+ apprentices to Mester (master craftsman) certification.

The business operates a heavy-equipment-led service model built on a modern fleet that includes all-electric excavators, wheel loaders and ancillary machinery — notably deployed at Vestfold's first emission-free construction site (Tønsberg Tinghus, for Statsbygg) — supported by a Borgeskogen facility housing office, warehouse, workshop, and wash hall. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015, Miljøfyrtårn, and Mester certifications and integrates certified installer partnerships with Willab Garden (greenhouses/garden rooms) and Biovac (mini wastewater treatment plants) alongside a direct-to-consumer firewood sales channel. The Drammen–Kobbervikdalen double-track project (HSL: all surface works and green areas) was awarded Årets Anlegg 2025.

Revenue mechanics are a mix of project-based professional services (new construction, playgrounds, excavation) and recurring maintenance contracts (skjøtsel, winter services) with municipalities. Pricing is largely quote-based; only the consumer firewood line is publicly priced (60L bag at 140 NOK incl. VAT; 1500L big bag at 2,400 NOK incl. VAT; 650 NOK delivery fee in Vestfold). Since November 2021, HSL has been a subsidiary of Stockholm-listed Green Landscaping Group, retaining its existing founders in operational leadership (Roar Håkonsen as CEO, Brede Sukke as Head of Operations Units) and its local Vestfold identity while gaining access to group-level scale.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Mesta AS: Norwegian state-owned contractor providing construction, maintenance and operation of road and infrastructure — including green areas along roads and railways. Comparable because Mesta competes for many of the same municipal and Bane NOR landscape packages as HSL, albeit at much larger scale and broader scope.
• BrightView Holdings: Largest commercial landscaping services company in North America, combining landscape construction with maintenance, snow removal and tree care. Comparable as a broad incumbent running the same integrated build-plus-maintain business model HSL operates regionally.
• Davey Tree Expert Company: Large North American provider of tree care, grounds maintenance and landscape services. Comparable as a broader incumbent with a substantial arborist and grounds maintenance practice — directly relevant to HSL's arborist services line.
• Idverde: Largest landscape services provider in Europe, offering design, construction and maintenance of green spaces across multiple countries. Comparable as a broader incumbent with the same landscape construction + recurring maintenance model HSL operates at regional scale.

Regional players

• Veljekset Raimo Oy: Finnish landscape construction and grounds maintenance company serving municipalities and developers across Finland. Comparable as a Nordic regional peer operating the same landscape construction + maintenance model in a neighboring geography.

Direct peers

• Steen & Lund AS: Norwegian anleggsgartner with regional presence offering landscape construction, grounds maintenance and snow clearing for municipalities, developers and private clients. Directly comparable service portfolio and customer base to HSL in the Norwegian market.
• Vik Øst AS: Norwegian contractor active in groundwork, landscaping and outdoor environments for public and private clients. Directly comparable service mix of excavation, planting and grounds maintenance to HSL's core offerings.
• Anleggsgartnerfirmaet Aga AS: Established Norwegian anleggsgartner delivering landscape construction, grounds maintenance and winter services to municipalities, property managers and developers. Direct comparable in scope and customer profile to HSL.
• Green Landscaping Group: Sweden-based parent company and the largest pure-play landscaping and grounds maintenance provider in the Nordics. Directly comparable because HSL operates as one of its Norwegian subsidiaries under the same landscape construction and maintenance model.

Others

• Asplan Viak AS: Norwegian planning and design consultancy with landscape architecture and site design practices. Comparable as an adjacent ecosystem participant — a partner (e.g. via Landskapskollektivet-style collaborations) that designs the outdoor environments HSL then builds.
