A message from our Founder & CEO
Built on trust. Rooted in people.
“Yardnique has always been owned and operated by landscapers, so we understand how much of yourself goes into building a business. Owners want to know their people and customers will be in good hands. About 70% of our acquisitions are proprietary, and those personal relationships are an important part of how we grow. Our approach starts with listening and understanding what makes your company successful. We have to earn the right and the respect of your employees and customers before putting the Yardnique name on your business. That means showing up, doing what we say we’ll do, and building trust. Your company’s identity represents years of hard work, and we respect that. Our people and our culture are the foundation of our success, and every partnership has to strengthen both.”
Brian DuMont Founder & CEO, Yardnique

Joe Chiellini Founder of ASI Landscape · Senior VP at Yardnique
