About Yard Guard

Since our acquisition in 2020, Yard Guard has grown exponentially from 300 to 3,000 customers. With a team of 20 employees, including technicians, office staff, and management, we've achieved a remarkable 40% revenue growth from 2023 to 2024, reaching $2.5 million. We specialize in lawn and tree care, offering services such as fertilization, weed control, disease and pest management for trees, sprinkler winterizations, and Holiday Light installations. Our services follow a subscription model, with several visits to our customers’ home per year, renewing annually. Committed to sustainability, we continually innovate with our proprietary Blended Organic program, delivering top-notch service. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable landscape, starting right in our own backyards.

We are geared for growth. In five years, our expansion plan includes us adding three more locations on top of the existing Bozeman office. Following that, we hope to have up to 12 locations in 10 years. Bozeman will remain the corporate headquarters as we grow and will house the vast majority of our customer service/sales team.
