Move what's sitting on your yard. Buy what your job needs by 7 AM tomorrow.
A peer-to-peer marketplace for landscape crews. List your surplus sod, stone, mulch, chem, plant material, and idle equipment. Source short-notice inventory from yards 30 miles away — at a price your distributor will never quote you.
The math on your yard
Every yard is a quiet warehouse of dead capital.
Walk your yard on a Tuesday in July and count what's actually moving. The other half — the spare pallets of sod yellowing in the corner, the partial skids of pavers from a patio that came in $3K under, the totes of pre-emergent that will expire before next spring, the aerator that runs three weeks a year — is $20,000 to $80,000 of working capital your bank can't see and your distributor refuses to take back.
You already know how to sell it. You post it on Facebook Marketplace, screen six tire-kickers, drive to meet a guy at a gas station for $180, and the whole afternoon is gone. Nobody running an actual install crew has time for that. So the pallet sits, it dries out, it goes in the dumpster on the first slow week of August, and the line item gets filed under "cost of doing business."
Meanwhile a crew 22 miles away is calling SiteOne at 5:45 AM on a Saturday because their sod order didn't make the truck. Their three-man install team is on the clock. The customer is waiting at 9. The job pays $4,200 and they're about to lose all of it because nothing is in stock at 6 AM and the next delivery window is Monday. Your pallet is exactly what they need. Surplus Yard is the layer that puts you in front of them before they cancel the install.
How it works
Four steps. No phone tag. No gas-station meetups.
01
List in 90 seconds
Snap a photo of the pallet, the chemical tote, the half-skid of pavers. Pick the category, set a price, set a pickup window. Your listing is live in your region in under two minutes.
02
Crews near you get the ping
Every crew within a 60-mile radius gets a feed of fresh inventory each evening. The Friday-night foreman scrambling for Saturday material sees yours first.
03
Buyer pays. Funds are held.
Buyer pays through the platform. Money sits in escrow until pickup or delivery is confirmed. No more chasing a foreman for cash. No more no-shows after a half-day reserved.
04
Pickup, confirm, payout
Buyer scans the QR pickup code on your dock. Funds release to your Stripe Connect account the same day. Average settle time so far in private beta: 14 hours from list to deposit.
What you can list
If it's on your yard and it's not on a truck this week, it can be listed.
Sod and turf
Leftover Bermuda, zoysia, fescue, St. Augustine. Half-pallets and full pallets. The stuff that yellows in 72 hours if no one cuts it.
Hardscape stone and pavers
Surplus pavers, wall block, capstones, flagstone, travertine. The remainders from a 2,000 sq ft patio that the homeowner doesn't want stacked behind the shed.
Mulch, soil, and aggregate
Yards of dyed mulch, screened topsoil, river rock, decomposed granite, mason sand. Bulk and bagged. Loaded into the buyer's dump trailer at your yard.
Fertilizer and chemical
Sealed bags of granular, partial totes of pre-emergent, herbicide concentrate, liquid fert. Anything labeled and in date. A licensed-applicator-only filter keeps regulated SKUs in front of the right buyers.
Nursery stock and plant material
B&B trees, container shrubs, perennials, annuals from a canceled install. The 47 boxwoods you over-ordered for a model home that the developer pulled.
Idle equipment and attachments
The walk-behind aerator that runs three weeks a year. The skid-steer attachment you bought for one project. The plow setup gathering dust in May. Daily, weekly, or outright sale.
Holds, deposits, disputes
Built on Stripe Connect so the money side is boring.
The rails behind every listing — verified accounts, escrowed funds, photo-evidence disputes, and a flat fee you can quote from memory.
01
Stripe Connect rails on every listing
Every transaction settles through a verified Stripe Connect account tied to your business EIN. Buyers fund the order at checkout. Funds are held in escrow against the listing.
02
QR-confirmed pickup at the dock
No cash exchanges hands at the dock — pickup is confirmed by a one-time QR code generated for the buyer's driver. Funds release the same day to your Connect account.
03
Equipment deposits, photo disputes
Equipment rentals carry an automatic damage deposit, sized to replacement value, refunded after the unit returns clean. Disputes route through a 48-hour resolution flow with photo evidence required from both sides.
04
Flat fee. No listing charges.
Platform fee is 4% on materials, 6% on equipment rentals. That's the whole price list. No listing fees. No monthly seat charges. No surprise interchange.
