Making the World Greener, One Yard at a Time
Inside Kelty Designs, the open marketplace connecting homeowners with independent landscape designers.
Most homeowners want a better yard. Far fewer know how to find a landscape designer, compare plans, or source materials without paying showroom markup. Kelty Designs was built to close that gap.
The platform works as an open listing marketplace: independent landscape designers post their services, material partners list quality outdoor products, and sponsors keep the lights on. Homeowners browse, compare, and hire — without a gatekeeper taking a cut of the vision.
