For the trade
For landscaping companies
HyreYard has no landscaping companies signed up, no live matching and no lead volume to quote. What we have is a site that answers your customers’ questions before they call, and a list you can join now. Registering costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Where should I start?
- How introductions will work The steps from a homeowner’s question to your phone, and what is not built yet.
- Partner FAQ Cost, exclusivity, volume, seasons and data, answered plainly, including where the answer is “not decided”.
- Register your interest Tell us where you work and which work you want. No cost, and nothing to sign.
- How companies will be checked The checks we plan before any introduction, and the ones not built yet.
Why we open with what we lack. You have probably been sold a number before, so we will not open with one.
We would rather have a short, honest conversation about what a fair arrangement looks like.
What is HyreYard?
hyreyard.com publishes independent information for homeowners planning outdoor work: what the job involves, what is buried under it, what moves the price and what a written scope should contain. We do no landscaping, lawn care or tree work and hold no contractor license. We intend to introduce readers to companies that can do the work.
The site has twelve yard calculators and planners and ten research studies, all open, none behind an email wall.
Why do maintenance and installation need separate handling?
- Recurring maintenance. The customer buys a season or an ongoing arrangement. Route density, reliability and the price per visit decide it.
- Installation and build. The customer buys a one-off project. The scope, the base specification and the drawing decide it, and a bad match costs you a site visit and a written proposal.
The season changes an inquiry too. One sent in February can be a plan being priced; one sent in July can be a job wanted now. We ask when the work is wanted and will pass that on with every introduction.
What has a homeowner read before contacting you?
What your customer already knows matters more than a volume figure. Someone who reaches you through this site may already have read that:
- The base under a patio or wall (depth, compaction, edge restraint) belongs in the quote in writing.
- Drainage comes before planting or paving, and a bid that is silent on water is unfinished.
- A maintenance contract should say what each visit includes before the season starts.
- A plant warranty can carry watering conditions.
- Whoever applies lawn chemicals should hold the state applicator license for that work.
- Three bids only compare if they describe the same scope. See reading a landscaping estimate.
If that sounds like a harder customer, notice who it is harder for. A company that specifies the base, scopes the drainage and writes down what the contract includes has had half the conversation done for it.
What would we ask of you?
The same things we tell homeowners to check. It would make no sense to publish a checklist and then introduce homeowners to companies that fail it.
- A real, registered business. With an operating history we can find in public records, not only on your website.
- The licenses your work requires. A contractor, irrigator or pesticide applicator license where your state or city requires one. Where none applies, say so.
- Liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Workers’ comp where you employ crews. Confirmed with the carrier once that check is built.
- A written scope before a price. Quantities, plant species and sizes, base depth and compaction, drainage, and what is removed as well as installed.
- Which work you want. Maintenance, installation or both, and which services. Otherwise we would be guessing.
- A reply to every inquiry you accept. Including in your busiest month. A homeowner who is never called is a homeowner we have failed.
What is not decided yet?
HyreYard is early. We would rather leave these open than publish terms that change in three months.
| Term | Where it stands |
|---|---|
| Pricing model and price | Not decided. Per inquiry, subscription or something else, and at what price. |
| Exclusive or shared | Not decided. Whether an inquiry goes to one company or several. |
| Delivery speed | Not decided. How quickly an accepted inquiry reaches you. |
| Invalid inquiries | Not decided. What earns a credit, and how a dispute is raised. |
| Contract terms | Not decided. Any minimum commitment, and how to pause for the off-season or leave. |
Settled already: we take no cut of the job, and you contract with the homeowner directly. The partner FAQ answers each open term one by one, and the lead quality standard sets the rules for every inquiry.
What will HyreYard never become?
- A directory. No profiles, ratings or rankings, so there is no position to buy.
- A review platform. We carry no reviews, because we have no policy for collecting them.
- A badge seller. We will never call your company “trusted”. We name what we checked and let the homeowner decide.
- A traffic reseller. Every inquiry will start on this site, from someone who read a page. We buy no leads to resell.
