What Yardify does

Yardify (operating as K & D Landscaping, Inc.) is a privately held, 35-year-old commercial and residential landscape contractor headquartered at 62 C Hanger Way, Watsonville, California, serving California's Central Coast. The company provides an integrated suite of outdoor services: landscape design, residential and commercial installation, ongoing landscape maintenance, irrigation and water management, and fire safety and weed abatement for properties in wildland-urban interface zones. It holds California Contractor License #664584 and operates as a Licensed, Insured and Bonded entity. Customer segmentation spans residential homeowners (primary), commercial properties including hospitality venues and retail (primary), HOAs and property management firms, and municipal/government accounts, with services delivered on-site across a regional geographic footprint.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services for design and installation work, supplemented by recurring maintenance contracts for commercial, HOA, and municipal accounts, and an affiliate referral stream via a financing partnership with Acorn Finance. Pricing is custom quote-based rather than standardized, and financing pre-qualification is embedded into the customer journey to support larger project conversion. The go-to-motion is sales-led and inbound, driven by a marketing website (kndlandscaping.com), an active educational blog on water management, fire mitigation, and commercial maintenance, and direct phone and form inquiries, with field service delivery executed by in-house crews. The firm maintains active memberships in the California Landscape Contractor Association, BOMA International, CACM, the Pajaro and Santa Cruz Chambers, the Monterey Peninsula Chamber, and the California Farm Bureau Federation, and participates in the Central Coast Water Summit as a thought-leadership platform. The business is privately held, has no disclosed parent company, investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and no proprietary technology platform or mobile application is associated with the brand despite an external website reference of yardify.app.
