The Living Yard family
A yard can be an ecosystem.
Living Yard is a family of apps and services for the native-plant movement — software for the pros who grow and design, a coach for the homeowners who plant, and the nursery where it all started.
Removing every hurdle between
a lawn and an ecosystem.
A yard of native plants beats a lawn on almost every count — for the birds, the soil, the water, even the maintenance bill. So why does nearly every yard still look the same? Because a century of infrastructure made lawns easy — a garden center on every corner, a crew for every chore, advice everywhere you look. Natives never got that. Living Yard is building the missing infrastructure, hurdle by hurdle, until a living yard is the easy choice.
-
Hurdle №1 · Supply
There was no reliable place to buy native plants.
So we became a nursery — Living Yard Natives.
livingyardnatives.com -
Hurdle №2 · Know‑how
Going from gardening to stewarding a food web is a cliff.
So we built a coach — Living Yard Coach.
livingyardcoach.com -
Hurdle №3 · The Pros
Working in this space takes far more than zone maps and spray schedules.
So we built their toolkit — Living Yard Pro.
livingyardpro.com -
Hurdle №4 · Discovery
The nurseries and pros that do exist were nearly impossible to find.
So we built the map — Native Plant Nursery Near Me.
nativeplantnurserynearme.com
One living system.
Each product feeds the next — the way an ecosystem feeds itself.

The studio behind the software.
The Living Yard apps are designed and built with Keystone AI, a studio that works with sustainability consultancies, ecological businesses, and other mission-driven organizations. The name comes from the same place ours does — the keystone species that hold ecosystems together.
If software like this would help your work, that’s a good place to start.
