Osmaïa

What Osmaïa does

Osmaïa (legal entity OSMAIA GROUP SAS, headquartered in Fretin, France) is a private, multi-brand landscaping and ecological engineering group that designs, creates and maintains outdoor spaces across natural, urban and heritage environments. The group operates through 20+ subsidiary companies that retain their local brand identity and management teams, with four core service lines: Design, Maintenance, Ecological Engineering and Exceptional Gardens for heritage sites and luxury properties. Underlying capabilities rest on operational horticultural craft, qualified ecological engineering expertise (Kalisterre Level 1 across six member companies) and dense industry certifications (ISO 9001/14001/26000, EcoVadis, MASE, ENGAGE RSE Exemplaire, QUALIPAYSAGE, QUALISPORT) rather than on a software or platform technology stack.

Osmaïa serves a diversified B2B and B2G client base spanning public sector (ministries, collectivités, public procurement), heritage and cultural institutions (Château de Versailles, Musée du Louvre, Bibliothèque nationale de France, UNESCO), luxury hospitality and private estates (Les Airelles, Hôtel de Caumont, Villa Les Hespérides), corporate headquarters (Pernod Ricard, Les Echos-Le Parisien), healthcare, education, sports facilities (Golf National, ParisLongchamp), and high-net-worth individuals. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated primarily through long-duration maintenance contracts (historically ~60% of group revenue) supplemented by project-based design and ecological restoration work.

The group's revenue scaled from €150M in 2024 to ~€305M pro-forma in 2026 through an active roll-up strategy, expanding from France into Switzerland (Setex in 2022, JB Jardins SA in 2025) and the Netherlands (T&G Groep founding Osmaïa Nederland in 2024, followed by Van der Drift Hoveniers in 2025 and Berdi in 2026). Ownership traces to a 2019 management buyout of Pinson Paysage supported by MBO+, with acquired founders commonly retained as shareholders and management committee members. Headcount stands at ~2,500 employees across approximately 40+ locations in three European countries, with no venture capital funding rounds disclosed.

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Environnement: Veolia is a global environmental services giant with adjacent offerings in water management, waste, and ecological/environmental services. As a broad incumbent, it overlaps with Osmaïa's ecological engineering and facilities management services but does not specialize in landscaping design/maintenance.
• Serco Group: Serco is a UK-based international public services company with facilities management contracts including grounds maintenance. Comparable in B2G/government contract delivery model, though landscaping is a small slice of Serco's much larger public services portfolio.
• Eiffage: Eiffage is a major French construction and concessions group with adjacent landscape and infrastructure works capabilities. Overlaps with Osmaïa's infrastructure segment (roads, public spaces) but landscaping is a peripheral activity within Eiffage's broader portfolio.
• Sodexo: Sodexo is a global facilities management and food services company with grounds maintenance and workplace well-being offerings. As a broad incumbent, it competes in some facility services contracts overlapping with Osmaïa's corporate and public sector verticals but is not a landscaping specialist.
• VINCI Construction / Terrassement: VINCI is a major French construction group whose Terrassement/Landscape activities touch landscaping and infrastructure greening. Comparable only in scale and French market presence; landscaping is not VINCI's core focus.

Direct peers

• Daniel Moquet Signalisation: Daniel Moquet operates a network of franchised landscaping and outdoor space businesses across France and Europe. Comparable as a French landscaping franchise/network model with multi-site field operations serving similar SME and local authority segments.
• idverde: idverde is the largest landscaping services company in France and Europe, offering design, build, and maintenance for public and private clients. Directly comparable to Osmaïa in core landscaping services, B2B/B2G focus, and roll-up acquisition strategy across European markets.
• Solvert: Solvert is a French landscaping group built via roll-up acquisitions of regional landscaping companies, serving public authorities, developers, and private clients. Closely comparable business model and French-centric customer base to Osmaïa's federation of regional brands.

Regional players

• Nurture Landscapes Group: Nurture Landscapes is one of the UK's largest commercial landscaping providers, offering grounds maintenance, landscape construction, and tree care. Comparable in services, B2B/B2G customer mix, and roll-up growth strategy, though operating primarily in the UK rather than France.
• GreenScape Group: GreenScape is a UK-based grounds maintenance and landscaping services provider for commercial, public, and residential clients. Comparable service lines (maintenance, design, ecological works) and customer profile, but UK-centric rather than French.
