Established in 1986 and incorporated in February of 1987, Yard Smart, Inc. provides professional landscape design, installation, maintenance, lawn care and snow/ice management services to communities in Cleveland and the western suburbs. Yard Smart, Inc. is owned by Bruce Stone, a landscape enthusiast who grew up in Rocky River. Bruce has been working within the company since its inception. In the late 1980's and 1990's, he worked diligently in the field as well as in the office to grow the company. While his passion is to work outside, he grew the company to the point that there were more administrative tasks that needed his attention. While he does not actively work in the field any longer, he is still able to fuel his passion through meeting with clients and operating the business daily. Both of his children have since graduated from their respected colleges, and are now assisting in the day to day activities at Yard Smart. Kate is responsible for a variety of managerial tasks, including preparing estimates, assisting clients and working as a horticulture team member. Jack works primarily on the back end of the business assisting with the technology and photography, while also leading a mow crew. It has become a family operated business not only in the sense that Bruce's children are working within the company, but also due to the fact that we have a tight knit work force which we view each team member as part of our family.
