How HyreYard works

What are the four steps?

You tell us about the yard. A person replies. We introduce a company only if you agree. Then you decide.

1. Tell us about the yard. The project, your zip code, your timing and what the ground does after heavy rain. “Not sure what I need” is on the form, and it is a fine answer.
2. A person replies to you first. We read what you sent and answer your question. Where the right answer is a different trade, such as an engineer for a tall wall, we say so. No company is copied in.
3. We introduce a company only if you agree. When matching is live in your area, we will ask before passing your details to any named landscaping company. Until then, we tell you it is not live.
4. You decide. Talk to a company, ask for a written bid, or keep researching. Nothing on this site commits you to anything.

What happens to my information?

• A person reads it. Not a routing rule and not an autoresponder.
• We do not sell it. Introducing you to a company you asked to meet is not selling a list, and we do not sell lists.
• No company gets it without your OK. You say yes to each named introduction first.
• Your phone number is optional. The form sends without one, and agreeing to calls is never a condition of using the site.
• Your street address is optional too. The zip code is the only location we need. Address suggestions come from an outside lookup service, so leave that box empty if you prefer.
• You can have it deleted. Just ask. The privacy policy explains what we store and for how long.

How is HyreYard different from a lead-selling site?

Some sites that collect landscaping inquiries work in the ways below. You should know which kind of site you are using.

• Selling one inquiry to several companies. We do not run a lead auction or sell lists.
• Passing details on the moment you submit. Nothing goes anywhere until you agree to a named introduction.
• Requiring a phone number. Ours is optional, and it stays optional.
• Ranking companies that paid to be ranked. We publish no rankings at all, paid or not.
• Calling companies “trusted” or “approved”. We do not use those words, because we have not done the work that would make them true.
• Hiding the useful pages behind the form. Every calculator and guide works without your details.

What makes an inquiry easy to answer?

• What the ground does after rain. Standing water is hard to see on a dry day. A photo taken during the next heavy rain answers it.
• Access. Whether a machine can reach the work, or everything goes through a narrow side gate by wheelbarrow.
• What is already there. Mature trees, a septic field, a well, an easement or an HOA. Each can change what may be built.
• What you have been quoted. If you have a bid, the lines it lists (or leaves out) tell us what to ask about.

Can I use the site without the form?

Yes. Every guide and tool is open without it:

• Landscaping services: what each job involves and the written scope to ask for.
• The yard calculators: twelve of them, run on your own numbers.
• What landscaping costs: what moves a price, without a made-up national average.
• Choosing a landscaping company: what to check before you sign.

How might HyreYard be paid?

We expect landscaping companies to pay us for introducing homeowners to them. You are never charged. The page for landscaping companies covers that side.

The risk is that money starts to shape the advice. Our editorial policy keeps the two apart, and how landscaping companies will be checked shows the checks we plan before any introduction, and which are not built yet.
