Yardzen is on a mission to help people live better lives outside.

We are a platform that pairs homeowners with talented designers to create fully custom landscape designs online — factoring the complex characteristics of any yard, like local climate and soil, horticultural zones, sun and shade patterns, budget, and architectural style, without having to visit the property. Homeowners are then matched with a vetted local contractor who can bring their dream outdoor space to life.

How it works: Homeowners get paired with a professional landscape designer, and they work hand in hand, all online. Homeowners take photos and videos of their existing outdoor space, complete a design profile and share aspirational photos. The designer uses satellite imagery, our own tools and lots of collaboration to design a yard that meets the homeowner's needs, full of lifestyle elements, shoppable pieces from our partners (CB2, Article, Yardbird, etc) and plants that will thrive there. In the end, homeowners receive planting plans, 3D renderings, and CAD drawings to share the design vision with a local contractor for installation.
