Yard-Nique Inc.

What Yard-Nique Inc. does

Yard-Nique Inc. (operating as Yardnique) is a privately held, founder-owned commercial landscaping company founded in 1997 by Brian DuMont while he was a horticulture science student at North Carolina State University. The company is headquartered in Morrisville, North Carolina, and operates across six Southeast states (North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama) through a "family of companies" model that retains locally branded subsidiaries such as ASI Landscapes alongside the Yardnique flagship. It employs more than 2,500 grounds care, design, and horticulture professionals, delivered via a recognizable fleet of orange trucks.

Yardnique's service portfolio spans core recurring landscape maintenance (weekly mowing, edging, turf care, tree and shrub health, seasonal color, storm response) plus project-based landscape design and installation (3D modeling, ornamental planting, turf replacement, large shade tree installs), with specialty add-on services (irrigation, integrated pest management, tree health, fertilization) sold on top of maintenance contracts. Customer segments are explicitly diversified across five primary verticals — Homeowners Associations and community associations, multifamily, commercial properties, healthcare facilities, and municipal government — plus secondary retail and industrial verticals. Technology investment to date is operational rather than product-facing: SafetyAmp for field-level safety/incident management with mobile QR reporting, an LMS for onboarding and recurring training, and the wholly-owned Syncscape customer portal for client communication.

Commercially, the company runs an enterprise field-sales motion led by dedicated VPs of business development and regional managers who each own a multi-state territory, supplemented by website-driven 'Request a Proposal' lead capture and a zip-code branch locator. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific under multi-year contracts, with revenue streams split between recurring maintenance subscriptions and one-time design/install engagements. The company is founder-led (Brian DuMont, CEO), privately held with no disclosed external equity backing, and ranked #26 on the Lawn & Landscape Top 100, indicating a top-tier mid-to-large commercial landscape operator.
