What is Yardzen?
Yardzen Like Shrub Hub, Yardzen is also a landscaping design company. The company came into being when the co-founders had to flee from their home because of the Tubbs fire in Northern California. Months later, when they came back and faced issues regarding the landscaping process, they realized the need for this company. So, they are problem solvers and their mission statement reflects the same.
Yardzen has a team of passionate people who are highly skilled and experienced to tackle your problems smartly. They are using the latest technology, including satellite imagery to ensure the best 3D designs. One thing that is unique about yardzen is their sustainability mindset. Not many companies ensure this much sensitivity towards the planet. I personally loved this fact about Yardzen.
How Does Yardzen Work?
The good thing about Yardzen is that they have mentioned everything clearly and concisely on their website, so no one feels deceived. Let’s check out a step-by-step procedure of how Yardzen works:
- Explore design packages and purchase yours
- Now, it’s information-gathering time with their Yard Builder™ tool. Share your vision by answering their questions. Send them images, videos, your budget, inspirational content, etc. Anything that explains your requirements/imaginations well, must be sent.
- Then starts the designing part. This is where creative minds, smart minds, and artistic minds all work together to come up with something that amazes you.
- Once they provide you with designs, you can give them feedback and they will be revising it accordingly until satisfaction is guaranteed.
- Finally, when the design process is completed, it’s time to meet the contractor. Team Yardzen connects you with a contractor who fits both your budget and your dream.
