YardPro

What YardPro does

YardPro is a property mapping and irrigation monitoring platform that lets users document outdoor infrastructure such as irrigation lines, valves, sprinklers, drains, and utilities using GPS pins, photos, and notes on web and mobile (iOS/Android) applications. The platform combines software mapping with an IoT hardware ecosystem, including the YardHub (a LoRa WAN gateway with 1+ mile range and solar-powered sensors) and Smart Leak Sensors that detect abnormal water pressure on irrigation drip lines and send real-time alerts. The system integrates natively with Rachio smart irrigation controllers, allowing users to import and control zones from within the YardPro map interface.

YardPro sells a tiered subscription catalog spanning $39/year (Homeowner), $99/year (Estate), and $499/year (Commercial) annual plans, plus $79-$499/month contractor plans that bundle dedicated account managers, team collaboration, and unlimited properties. Hardware revenue comes from the $349 Smart Irrigation Leak Starter Kit and $199 add-on sensors. The company serves five primary segments — homeowners, contractors and landscapers, commercial property managers, golf courses, and municipalities — through a primarily product-led growth motion (self-serve web and mobile signup, 7-day free trial) supplemented by an enterprise sales motion for contractor and commercial tiers and a community partner program.

The company was founded by Arik Levy (previously founder of Laundry Locker), is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, operates with 1-10 employees, and is governed under California law with its operations centered in Sacramento. No parent company, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or formal intellectual property filings are disclosed. YardPro markets itself as a domain-specific alternative to generic mapping apps (Google Maps) and professional GIS tools (ArcGIS), positioning integration, custom irrigation-specific icons, filtered field-crew printouts, and smart sensor monitoring as its primary differentiators.

Core offering

YardPro provides a property mapping and irrigation monitoring platform available on web and mobile (iOS/Android) that lets users map irrigation lines, valves, sprinklers, drains, utilities, and other property features using GPS pins, photos, and notes. The platform is paired with a proprietary IoT sensor ecosystem (YardHub gateway + Smart Leak Sensors using LoRa WAN wireless, solar power, and adaptive pressure monitoring) to detect leaks, stuck valves, and inactive zones in real time. Subscription plans are sold for homeowners, contractors, commercial properties, golf courses, and municipalities, with a native Rachio integration for irrigation controller control.

Product overview

YardPro offers a unified property mapping and irrigation monitoring platform consisting of the core YardPro App (web and mobile) combined with a hardware sensor ecosystem. The platform enables users to map property features using GPS pins, lines, and areas while integrating with smart sensors for real-time leak detection and irrigation monitoring. The sensor portfolio includes the YardPro Irrigation Sensor Hub (YardHub) as the central connectivity hub, the Smart Leak Sensor for Irrigation as an individual add-on ($199), and the Smart Irrigation Leak Starter Kit which bundles the YardHub with one sensor ($349). The platform also integrates natively with Rachio smart irrigation controllers for unified zone management and control.

Direct peers

• Galcon: Galcon manufactures smart irrigation controllers and cloud-management software for residential and commercial landscapes, with comparable subscription and hardware product structure to YardPro's homeowner/commercial tiers.
• Tule Technologies: Tule provides pressure-based and atmospheric irrigation monitoring for agriculture and landscapes, including leak/ET alerts. Its leak-detection sensor approach is the most direct technical analog to YardPro's Smart Leak Sensor product.
• CropX: CropX is an agricultural IoT sensing platform combining soil, weather, and irrigation analytics with hardware sensors and a SaaS dashboard — comparable to YardPro's combination of IoT sensors, mapping, and a subscription software platform.
• Rachio: Rachio is the leading consumer/prosumer smart-irrigation controller brand. It is both a direct comparison (smart irrigation + monitoring) and a technology integration partner for YardPro, making it the closest functional peer in the same product category.

Broad incumbents

• Hydrawise (Hunter Industries): Hydrawise is Hunter Industries' smart irrigation controller platform with web/mobile management for professionals and property managers. It is a broad incumbent in smart irrigation with overlapping mapping/zone-management features.
• Rain Bird: Rain Bird is a major irrigation equipment manufacturer offering controllers, valves, and increasingly connected smart-irrigation systems. It competes as a broad incumbent offering the full irrigation stack that YardPro's software layers atop.
• Orbit Irrigation: Orbit is a long-standing consumer and prosumer irrigation brand offering timers, controllers, and B-hyve smart irrigation. It is a broad incumbent in the same residential/commercial irrigation category where YardPro sells its mapping and monitoring product.
• Calsense: Calsense provides smart irrigation controllers and central management software for municipalities, HOAs, and commercial sites — directly comparable to YardPro's commercial, municipal, and HOA use cases, but with deeper install base in California.

Emerging players

• Arable: Arable builds in-field sensing and analytics for agriculture and landscape management, overlapping with YardPro's sensor + analytics stack though oriented more toward crop/weather data than irrigation-system mapping.
• WiseConn: WiseConn offers smart irrigation and fertigation management with IoT field units and cloud software — a comparable platform targeting agriculture and commercial landscapes, with overlap on the irrigation monitoring/automation layer.
