Yardzen Project #1: Yardzen’s cofounders, Allison and Adam (pictured here), started Yardzen after losing part of their property to Northern California’s Tubbs Fire. When they set out to landscape their destroyed yard, the bids they received, just for the design, shocked them. They knew there had to be a better way. So, the environmentalist (Adam) and tech entrepreneur (Allison) set out to bring technology, data, and science to landscape design in a way that it had never been before. The result: a new yard for the Yardzen cofounders and a new way to landscape—all online.
Over the next couple of days we’ll be taking you into the Messner’s life during the summer, which is lived primarily outside (yep, many zooms at Yardzen are held in the yard).

Before & After: A Midwest Backyard Built for Summer Nights in
After transforming their home’s exterior, @samwestonx turned to Yardzen to reimagine a shapeless backyard into something far more livable.
What was once an undefined lawn became a true outdoor living room-designed for gathering, relaxing, and making the most of Midwest summer evenings.
Our team introduced a new deck, gravel patio, lighting, furniture, and low-mow grass, bringing shape, warmth, and functionality to the space.
“Yardzen has given us a whole new extension to our house!” - Sam W.

When Trent Hancock first came to Yardzen, his 1920s Spanish Colonial in the historic Willo District of Phoenix was in dire need of love. He had a vision to add a pool to the backyard and turn the space into an entertainers dream. So he worked with a Yardzen designer to craft a plan that honored the property’s architectural roots while minding its next chapter as Airbnb (@stayparadigm ). We couldn’t be more thrilled with how it came out. Scroll through to see the before!

Climate adapted Yardzen Yard in Northern California. 🌿 When @kind_tiffany bought her Auburn, CA home in 2022, the yard was basically just bark and dirt. Yardzen completely transformed it into a space she and her family truly live in every day.
“Now it feels like an extension of our home. We host friends and family, relax under the umbrella on the deck, and spend so much more time outside. Even our dog Prince has his favorite spots to lounge and play. It’s hard to believe it’s the same yard.”
