About Yard Guard
our acquisition in 2020, Yard Guard has grown exponentially from 300 to 4,000 customers. With a team of 25 employees, including technicians, office staff, and management, we've achieved a remarkable 40 % revenue growth from 2024 to 2025, reaching $3.25 million. We specialize in lawn and tree care, offering services such as fertilization, weed control, disease and pest management for trees, and sprinkler winterizations. In the winter, our services include holiday light installations and snow removal. Our services follow a subscription model, with several visits to our customers' homes per year, renewing annually. Committed to sustainability, we continually innovate with our proprietary Blended Organic program and Fully 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 adding three more locations on top of the existing Bozeman office. Following that, we hope to have up to 10 locations in 10 years.
