Oldcastle APG acquires Yardzen
Oldcastle APG, a CRH Company, has acquired a controlling interest in Yardzen, an online landscape design and build platform. The addition of Yardzen aims to enhance Oldcastle APG’s existing design capabilities and, according to the company, "strengthens its commitment to utilizing innovative digital technologies."
“At Oldcastle APG, we are continually looking for ways to improve our customer experience and offer innovative solutions that connect a strong portfolio of outdoor living products,” said Tim Ortman, president, Oldcastle APG. “Having partnered with the company last year, we are excited for this next chapter with Yardzen, a fellow innovator and digital pioneer, as we look to expand our digital footprint and provide even more resources to designers, contractors and homeowners seeking premium outdoor living solutions.”
Founded in 2018 by Allison Messner and Adam Messner, Yardzen has pioneered a new approach to outdoor renovation through technology that simplifies the process for homeowners and contractors alike. The digital landscape design and build platform enables homeowners to learn more about their options and secure custom designs, augmenting Oldcastle APG’s suite of digital design solutions for decking, hardscapes, fencing and more.
“This is an accelerator for our company’s growth, and we are excited to see what Yardzen’s future holds with Oldcastle APG,” said Allison Messner, who will continue to lead Yardzen as CEO. “We look forward to helping even more outdoor professionals and homeowners bring their visions to life.”
