Our Story
The Yard Artist was founded in West Richland, WA, by a professional with nearly a decade of combined experience in construction and landscaping. Growing up off-grid in Idaho instilled a strong work ethic and a drive to go the extra mile for every client. What began in 2017 as a one-person operation in Pullman—starting with just a car and a willingness to tackle any job from raking leaves to carpentry—has grown into a dedicated team equipped with professional tools and a heavy-duty truck. The core philosophy is built on reliable, sustainable solutions, clear communication, and creative freedom, transforming yards and handling household maintenance for Tri-Cities residents. We bring well-rounded expertise from years in the field to every project, from landscape design and irrigation to tree care and minor renovations.

Q&A
What can you do for compacted soil and patchy grass in my West Richland yard?
Compacted soil is a common issue in our area that prevents grass from thriving. We address this directly with our earthmoving and regrading services to loosen and level the soil, followed by expert sod installation or overseeding. Our comprehensive lawn care program then includes tailored irrigation design and regular maintenance to ensure your new grass establishes deeply and stays healthy, transforming patchy areas into a lush, resilient lawn.
Do you handle both design and construction for outdoor projects?
Yes, we provide a complete start-to-finish service. Our process begins with a collaborative landscape or hardscape design, where we listen to your vision for patios, walkways, retaining walls, or greenspaces. Once the plan is set, our experienced construction team handles the installation with precision, whether it's masonry work, irrigation systems, or planting. This integrated approach ensures the final build perfectly matches the initial design concept for a seamless result.
You list many services, from tree care to painting. How do you manage such a wide range of work?
Our versatility comes from years of hands-on experience in both the construction and landscaping industries. While we specialize in outdoor spaces—like tree pruning, shrub care, and irrigation—our team's broad skill set also allows us to assist with related household needs such as interior/exterior painting, drywall, and minor renovations. This well-rounded expertise means we can often handle multiple aspects of your property's upkeep, providing reliable and consistent service across different types of projects.
