American Rewilding Project
Yardzen is transforming America’s yards into thriving, climate-resilient ecosystems — replacing traditional lawns with native and habitat-supporting plants that restore biodiversity and support pollinators.
As the largest residential landscaping company in the U.S., Yardzen is using its platform to drive real environmental change. Through the American Rewilding Project, we’re helping homeowners replace turf grass with climate-adapted, habitat-supporting plants that sustain biodiversity and promote ecosystem health.
These thoughtful designs create safe havens for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds — while also reducing water use and carbon emissions.
