For the first time, it's easy to design & build a yard you love
The Old Way: DIY Yard Design
STEP 1
Carve out the time (and energy) to research layouts, elements, and plants that work for your yard.
STEP 2
Source all materials, furniture, decor, and plants from various online and in-person shops, garden centers, and outdoor supply companies.
STEP 3
Work on your outdoor areas one-by-one, without a professional design to serve as a master plan.
STEP 4
Exhaust yourself with an outdoor renovation that was time-consuming and may result in a space with unhappy plants, poor flow, or inconsistent style.
STEP 5
Consider working with a professional landscape designer to improve your DIY yard.
The Old Way: Traditional Designer
STEP 1
Vet available in-person designers for alignment with your property type, needs, and style.
STEP 2
Wait to get on their schedule then coordinate time-intensive site visits and calls to communicate your needs and vision.
STEP 3
Receive a design at a premium price without photorealistic 3D renders to help you visualize the space or a shoppable materials list with products from real brands.
STEP 4
Vet landscape contractors in your area to find companies that are licensed, insured, highly-rated, and capable of installing everything in your design.
STEP 5
Wait months to get on your chosen contractor’s schedule and realize that Yardzen could have paired you with the perfect designer and contractor faster, without additional cost.

When we found Yardzen, it was the answer to what we had been trying to develop.”
- Alvaro Marroquin
The last time we tried a design service it was old school, slow, and 5 times the cost of yardzen. HUGE win here! And they reference installation partners to boot! LOVE it!"
- Michelle Wagner
I am grateful I picked Yardzen to take on my plans…my final project was beyond what my vision was because of their expert guidance… Time is something I highly value, this was efficient and very cost effective.
I highly recommend Yardzen if you appreciate a company who cares about your vision, takes your inspiration and puts it to life with their beautiful expertise."
