We created Yard and Garage a couple of years ago to answer your questions about everything to do with maintaining a lawn and caring for your tools. Our writes come from a large background of experience in taking care of property. Collectively, we have lived on farms, in apartments and suburban homes. Our perspectives mirror that of our audience. The guides and articles we write are all honest accounts of our experiences.
Our Philosophy
Due to our varied background, the staff at Yard and Garage believe we can help readers when it comes to maintaining a home. Our guides on the best tools, methods of caring for a lawn, and creating livable outdoors paces are what we truly believe. The site is supported by affiliate sales, but the prospect of earning a commission does not lead us to offer bad advice. Our philosophy is to provide useful and worthwhile advice, because we believe it is truly what the customer (you, the reader) deserves.
Article Topics
As the name suggests, Yard and Garage is focused on the homeowner’s outdoor needs. How-to guides and product reviews are our bread and butter. The topics you will see here cover the following:
- Lawn Care
- Gardening Advice
- Tools and Gear
- Outdoor Living
- Gift Guides
- Product Reviews
- Garage Organization
- Maintaining Your Garage
Our Team
As stated earlier, our writing and editorial team come from a wide background of experiences and perspectives.
