Your Home Is Finished. Your Backyard Isn't.

Most backyards don't get built because the process feels like too much. You’re not sure who to call, how to coordinate, or whether it'll turn out right. The planning is the obstacle, not the budget.

That's exactly what we solve. One team handles everything, from design through construction, so you don't have to piece it together yourself.

Why By The Yard?

Built For Your Yard

Every project is custom and designed around your home, your property, your life.

One Team, Start To Finish

Design, permits, construction. No handoffs, no gaps, no contractor roulette.

We Don’t Cut Corners

Materials we'd use in our own yards. Craftsmanship we'd stand behind in ten years.

No Surprises

Clear timelines, one point of contact, and honest communication throughout.

Two contractors quoted you, neither called back

After

Your family eats outside most nights

The backyard is where everyone wants to be

Evenings stretch long after the sun goes down

The best room in your house is outside

One call. One team. Done right.

What Homeowners Are Saying

 Backyards That Families Actually Use.

  • "We had a wonderful experience with By the Yard! They knew exactly what we wanted and brought our lawn to life. Brett did a great job advising us what plants to use in our front flower beds. We will be back!"

    The Williams Family

  • "Brett Benton and his team did a great job on our complicated driveway extension, retaining wall, patio, and fencing. They were very professional and helped with every step from HOA approval to the design process. Thanks for making this potentially stressful project enjoyable!"

    The Lee Family

  • "My project turned out better than I ever expected! By the Yard listened to my requests and worked with me to come up with the perfect design. They stayed in communication with me so that I knew what was going on every step of the way! By the Yard gets my highest recommendation!"

    The Burtch Family

  • "By the yard did our fireplace and extended our driveway. Everything was done within one week! They were so fast and meticulous. Highly recommend them!!!"

    The Wilson Family

  • "Fantastic job. Brett was always professional and went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we needed. They were quick, efficient, and left our yard cleaner than when they showed up. Will definitely use again as we keep landscaping and projects come up."
