Installing Your Project with the Yardzen Pro Network
Every design includes complimentary contractor matching and build support to help bring your dream yard to life. The Yardzen Pro Network is nationwide group of experienced, appropriately licensed, and insured local landscape contractors.

Contractor matching and intro
We’ll match you with a Yardzen-vetted landscape contractor from our Pro Network that is local to you and ready to build. Our Pros are experienced, highly-rated, appropriately licensed, and insured. Our build support team will continue to check in with you during your yard renovation to make sure everything is going smoothly.
Site walk and adjustments
You’ll complete a site walk with your contractor that will help them create a specific project estimate. You and your contractor will make “in-the-field” decisions. It’s normal to deviate from your original design slightly, and our team is happy to make design adjustments based on these decisions.
Bid review and project support
Our build support team is there for you throughout your renovation—until its completion! We can answer questions as they come up and review any bids, estimates, or suggestions made by the contractor. We also love when clients share photos of the yard coming to life!
