life is better outside
If there’s anything we’ve learned in the last few decades, it’s that life truly is better outside. At Yardnique, we dedicate our lives to making our communities and environment better.
from the classroom to the outdoors
Yardnique’s story began in 1997 with a pickup truck, a passion for horticulture, and a college student determined to build something meaningful. While pursuing his horticulture science degree at North Carolina State University, founder and CEO Brian DuMont started providing landscape services to residential customers throughout the Raleigh area. What began as a way to help pay for school quickly grew into something much bigger.
Nearly three decades later, that same spirit still drives everything we do. Today, Yardnique has grown into one of the nation’s leading landscape companies, ranked among the fastest growing in the industry, while remaining grounded in the values that shaped us from the very beginning. Through our flagship Yardnique brand and our family of companies, we provide commercial landscape maintenance, design, and installation services to communities across the Southeast.
With more than 2,500 dedicated grounds care, design, and horticulture professionals, our bright orange trucks have become a familiar sight in the communities we serve. But it’s about more than properties. It’s about people, pride, and leaving every place better than we found it. Every blade of grass we touch, every hedge we trim, and every landscape we enhance reflects the care, craftsmanship, and heart behind the name Yardnique.
What Sets Us Apart
Owned & operated by landscapers
We are owned and operated by landscapers, which means we understand the industry from firsthand experience. That practical knowledge drives smarter decisions, stronger accountability, and a deep commitment to delivering exceptional results for every property we serve. It also shapes a culture built on trust.
True Partners
Anyone with a pickup truck and a lawnmower can call themselves a landscaper. But we are true professionals. We believe that every client deserves a roadmap to success, not just short term gains. We want to help our communities and partners thrive, and that starts with a genuine conversation to understand both needs and vision beyond the current season.
local operations
While our footprint in the Southeast is large, our operations remain local. This allows our teams to be active in the communities we serve. It also provides us with the systems and structure at scale which provide seamless integration and processes to our clients. Being owned and operated by landscapers keeps the experience for our clients dialed in at all times.
