Yardzen Named to Fast Company’s Annual List of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2022
Summary
“We’re truly honored and humbled to be featured in this year’s list alongside other industry leaders we deeply admire,” said Allison Messner, CEO of Yardzen. We’re committed not only to helping people create beautiful, functional outdoor spaces, but empowering homeowners to make responsible, sustainable choices in their landscaping.” Yardzen is the platform that pairs homeowners with talented designers to create fully custom landscape designs online, factoring all of the complex characteristics of any yard, like local climate and soil, horticultural zones, sun and shade patterns, budget, and architectural style, all without ever stepping foot on the property — then matches clients with a vetted local contractor who can bring their dream outdoor space to life. The company recognizes that with more than 130 million residential lots in the US, there is huge potential around influencing the climate impact of the plants and materials used in landscaping. “The world’s most innovative companies play an essential role in addressing the most pressing issues facing society, whether they’re fighting climate change by spurring decarbonization efforts, ameliorating the strain on supply chains, or helping us reconnect with one another over shared passions,” said Fast Company Deputy Editor David Lidsky.
