Approved members • Trade-focused • Honor system

No Facebook circus.

The Yard is a private forum and buy/sell/trade marketplace built for arborists, tree service crews, landscapers, mechanics, equipment owners, and suppliers who are tired of digging through junk to find real working gear.

No couches. No baby clothes. No Facebook circus. Just working gear and working crews.

Built for the crew, not the algorithm.

What The Yard is

A trade yard online.

Think parts counter, field lot, jobsite bulletin board, shop talk, and equipment swap meet — all in one controlled space.

  • Approved members only, so scammers do not get a free pass.
  • Free to list, because working people should not pay before the item even sells.
  • 1% expected honor fee when The Yard helps make the sale.
  • Forum boards for saws, rigging, equipment, landscaping, storm work, repairs, and business talk.
  • Marketplace listings for real gear: chippers, saws, trailers, trucks, ropes, parts, mowers, loaders, cranes, and services.

The Yard is for this kind of stuff.

Small gear

Saws, bars, chains, rope, rigging

Move the stuff crews are always hunting for: clean saws, used bars, rope bundles, blocks, saddles, climbing gear, and shop extras.

Big iron

Chippers, trucks, trailers, loaders

For the listings that do not belong buried under lawn chairs and baby clothes: bucket trucks, cranes, stump grinders, chip trucks, and full setups.

Crew network

Help wanted, storm work, suppliers

Find climbers, mechanics, subcontractors, saw builders, rope makers, repair shops, storm cleanup help, and regional supplier connections.

Free to list. Fair when sold.

Most equipment sites take a chunk. The Yard asks for a fair shake: no upfront listing fee, no membership fee, and a 1% expected honor fee when your item sells through a connection made here.
