What We Do
Yardzen, the online landscape design and build company, is on a mission to help people live a better life outside. Yardzen’s expert team connects homeowners with talented landscape designers and contractors for the easiest, most delightful outdoor renovation experience available. Leveraging plant science, data, and modeling software, Yardzen’s remote design team creates custom, executable landscape designs that reflect a homeowner’s budget, style preferences, unique site conditions, and how they want to live in their space. The design phase includes a thorough round of revisions through a state-of-the-art online studio, allowing for homeowners to collaborate at their convenience and on their schedule. Then, to facilitate the transfer from the studio to the field, Yardzen’s team works with every homeowner to pair them with a local, vetted contractor in our Pro Network, ensuring a timely and highly communicative bidding and installation experience. Yardzen remains involved throughout the build phase, and beyond, guarantee that every client loves their new outdoor space.
