Our motivation
We don't only want our products to be sustainable and versatile. They must also contribute to the natural experience of the outdoor space.
We believe it's important that an outdoor space is well-balanced and exudes tranquillity. Because in a living environment like that, you can relax; you're in your element, enjoying it. Whether alone or together with others. The outdoor space is the domain of Schellevis® and nature is a major source of inspiration. We connect architecture with nature, with respect for the environment. That's how we contribute to a sustainable, natural experience of the outdoor space.
We're a good age now, with a history going back almost 85 years. But in terms of ambition and drive, we're young, innovative, a touch unconventional and alive and kicking. In the past, the focus was on producing concrete products for tree-growers and horticulture. These days, we mainly produce concrete products designed to be used in gardens, on patios and in public spaces.
The entire range has the same Schellevis® appearance. Used in combinations, the products help transform every outdoor space into a harmonious, timeless living environment. And everything is possible. Because as far as we're concerned, there's a mould for every idea. We're happy to help shape and produce creative designs.
Naturally, we can personally tell you a lot about ourselves but what other people think about us is definitely just as important. So we asked some of our partners to share with us their experience with Schellevis®. Read why they choose to work with Schellevis®, each from their own professional field.
It is timeless and remains beautiful
We are a close-knit family business with around 35 employees, and last April we celebrated our 90th anniversary. We have been working with Schellevis® for more than 20 years, and have always done so with great pleasure. The quality is good and it is a unique product with many possibilities. In my opinion, it is also timeless, as it has already withstood several trends. It remains beautiful. That is also the reason why we chose Schellevis® for our own garden at home.
Designing with Schellevis® brings calm to the overall design
I create around 100 garden designs each year and regularly use Schellevis® products in my work. For me, experiencing a garden means experiencing greenery. The paving forms the connecting element, providing structure, lines and cohesion in the design. This makes paving an important element in the garden, while at the same time it remains subordinate to the green experience of the space.
The various elements — such as slabs, steps, edging and retaining elements — in a uniform structure and colour add substance to the design without distracting from it. Schellevis® products are particularly well suited for this. On a detailed level, the slabs have something robust about them, something steadfast. After that, nature can take its course.
For every challenge, there is a solution
We have been working with Schellevis® products at DON Hoveniers for many years. We do so not only because they offer the widest range of concrete slabs, but also because they are consistently innovative and approachable. Communication is always pleasant. Whenever there are challenges to overcome in a garden, Schellevis® always has a product or solution to match.
We don't only want our products to be sustainable and versatile. They must also contribute to the natural experience of the outdoor space.
We produce timeless paving and elements that help create balance and tranquillity in the
outdoor space.
We create a select but deep range of artisan paving that feel right at home in a number of places: around the outside of the house, on the roof and in public outdoor spaces.
The Schellevis® logo is inspired by nature. The stacked tiles open out into a leaf. This is how we illustrate the connection between our product and the natural outdoor space. The colour orange symbolises our Dutch origins.
‘Guided by nature’ is the Schellevis® brand promise. This pay-off expresses our company’s identity powerfully and concisely. An inexhaustible source of inspiration, nature provides direction and a basis for the design of gardens, patios and public spaces. Our distinctive concrete slabs and elements enhance outdoor spaces in a natural and harmonious way. Schellevis® garden designs follow and support nature. This is how we wish to make a modest contribution to the well-being of people outdoors.
