Landify

What Landify does

Landify is a San Francisco-headquartered soil disposal and sustainable land development company operating as the U.S. subsidiary of Groupe-ECT, the largest manager of excavated soil in Europe. The company runs a circular economy model in which construction companies and civil engineering firms pay for soil disposal services, and the resulting fees fund community land development projects such as parks, sports facilities, agricultural revitalization, noise barriers, solar farms, and brownfield remediation, eliminating capital outlays for municipalities. Customers include civil engineering companies, material haulers, public entities, and private property owners, with active project sites in Chula Vista, Vacaville, Poway, and the Garnet Reclamation site in California.

The company's core offering is built around a proprietary soil characterization, traceability, and quality assurance system that tracks excavated material from pre-disposal through on-site inspection, environmental testing, acceptance at Landify sites, and digital documentation, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Only clean dirt, restricted-use dirt, and mixed construction debris are accepted after mandatory environmental review. The second core offering, Sustainable Design and Development, covers full lifecycle delivery, from conception to completion, of landscape projects for municipalities and private owners, supported by 50+ years of combined team expertise inherited from the parent organization.

Landify's go-to-market is direct and sales-led, engaging customers via phone consultation ((415) 635-3555, (951) 564-9757), website contact forms, and scheduled meetings. Pricing is quote-based and determined by distance to the nearest disposal site, soil quality classification, and total volume. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on both sides of the model: soil disposal fees from construction clients and project-based revenue from municipal and private land development engagements. The legal entity is Landify ECT Corporation, a California corporation wholly controlled by Groupe-ECT, with no disclosed venture or private equity funding.

Core offering

Landify provides soil disposal and characterization services to construction companies, civil engineering firms, and material haulers, accepting excavated soil (clean dirt, restricted-use dirt, mixed construction debris) and routing it through a five-step traceability and quality-assurance process. In parallel, the company uses fees from soil disposal to self-finance sustainable land development projects for municipalities and communities, including parks, sports facilities, agricultural revitalization, noise barriers, solar farms, brownfield remediation, and quarry reclamation under a circular economy model.

Product overview

Landify is a soil disposal and sustainable land development company operating as the U.S. subsidiary of Groupe-ECT. The company offers two core interconnected services: Soil Disposal Services for construction companies requiring safe, sustainable, and cost-effective excavation management, and Sustainable Design and Development for creating parks, sports facilities, and recreational areas. These services work together in a circular economy model where excavated soil from construction sites is upcycled and reused in ecological projects that benefit local communities. Landify accepts clean dirt, restricted-use dirt, and mixed construction debris, processing them through a traceable five-step disposal process. The company maintains active project sites in California locations including Chula Vista, Vacaville, Garnet Reclamation, and Poway.

Regional players

• Casella Waste Systems: Northeast US-focused solid waste, recycling, and resource management operator with soil and C&D debris services. Comparable regional waste-and-soil handling footprint but no Landify-style community land development component.

Direct peers

• Groupe-ECT (Parent): Parent company and Europe's largest excavated soil manager operating the same circular economy model. Directly comparable business model, soil traceability systems, and community land development pipeline that Landify is replicating in the US.
• SCS Engineers: US environmental engineering and consulting firm with deep practice in solid waste, soil management, and remediation. Comparable to Landify in soil characterization and reuse strategy, though primarily consulting rather than operating disposal sites.
• Clean Earth (Harsco Environmental): One of the largest US providers of environmental and waste management services for contaminated soil, dredged material, and industrial waste. Closely comparable to Landify in soil characterization, acceptance testing, and beneficial reuse of excavated materials.

Broad incumbents

• Republic Services: Major US waste and recycling hauler operating landfills and C&D debris handling at national scale. Overlaps with Landify on soil/excavation disposal but serves a much broader waste portfolio and lacks Landify's community-development circular economy model.
• Veolia North America: Global environmental services operator with US hazardous waste, soil remediation, and material recovery operations. Comparable to Landify on contaminated soil handling and site remediation, but at much broader scope and scale.
• SUEZ (Suez North America): Global environmental services group with North American soil and waste remediation operations. Comparable to Landify on contaminated soil handling and circular resource recovery, though much broader in scope.
• Waste Management, Inc. Largest US solid waste and environmental services company with extensive landfill, transfer, and recycling infrastructure. Comparable in handling excavated soil and C&D debris at scale, though without Landify's sustainable land development wraparound.
• Stericycle: US-focused regulated waste and compliance services provider. Overlaps with Landify on compliance-driven waste handling and documentation but focused on regulated medical and industrial waste streams.

Others

• Cleveland-Cliffs (Cliffs Natural Resources) — soils/mining reclamation comparator: Listed here as a representative mine/quarry reclamation comparator given Landify's mine-land and brownfield reclamation plantings. Landify's reclamation planting work is adjacent to mining operators' site rehabilitation responsibilities.
