Quality without compromise
–
<\/strong>Our products are selected to stay outdoors all year round, with an eye for materials, workmanship and longevity.<\/p>

Thoughtful choice of brands
<\/strong>–
We collaborate with top international brands and deepen our knowledge through trade fairs in Paris, Cologne and Milan. Only collections we fully believe in are part of our offer.<\/p>

Personal advice
<\/strong>–
Every outdoor space is unique. With photos, plans and targeted advice - in the showroom or on site - we guide customers to the right style and material choices.<\/p>

Generations of experience
<\/strong>–
For more than three generations, and in the same location since 1870, we have been building lasting relationships and strong trust. We are proud of that.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Jules T'Hooft, great-grandfather of Francis T'Hooft founded the company in 1870.<\/p>

Above, an invoice from 1901. And the bombing of his company after the first or second world war. What is striking is that back then all official documents were still in French in Flanders.<\/p>

He was a grower of laurel trees and also mayor of Landegem. In 1921, his son Maurice T'Hooft succeeded him. He took care of laying out and maintaining gardens in Ghent. Jozef T'Hooft, Francis' father, took over the business in 1950 and also started selling garden supplies.<\/p>

Francis T'Hooft soon reinvigorated by modernising the range and giving the company the look and feel of an outdoor furniture specialist shop. Here, the emphasis is increasingly on the very extensive range of garden furniture, barbecues and letterboxes.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
