About Idaho Yard Pros
A free yard resource for Eastern Idaho homeowners, created by NewHome Finishers.
Our Mission
Idaho Yard Pros exists to give Eastern Idaho homeowners the information they need to make smart decisions about their outdoor spaces. We believe that well-informed homeowners get better results, avoid costly mistakes, and get more value from every dollar they invest in their yards.
Every guide on this site is written specifically for Eastern Idaho conditions — our unique climate, soil, growing zones, local regulations, and seasonal patterns. National gardening advice often does not apply here. When we say 36–42 inch fence post depth, we mean it for our frost line. When we recommend Kentucky bluegrass, we know it works here because thousands of Idaho lawns prove it every year.
We do not use fake testimonials, made-up statistics, or misleading information. Our cost estimates reflect actual Eastern Idaho pricing. Our plant recommendations are based on what genuinely thrives in Zones 5 and 6. Our guides are honest, practical, and focused on helping you succeed.
A Resource by NewHome Finishers
Idaho Yard Pros is created and maintained by NewHome Finishers, Eastern Idaho's trusted home finishing service. NewHome Finishers helps homeowners in Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Rexburg, and surrounding areas with fencing, sod, sprinkler systems, landscaping, and basement finishing — coordinating multiple trades into one efficient project.
We created Idaho Yard Pros because we saw homeowners making preventable mistakes — setting fence posts too shallow, installing sod at the wrong time, choosing plants that cannot survive Idaho winters, or missing critical maintenance windows. These mistakes cost time and money. Our guides help you avoid them.
When you are ready to move from research to action, NewHome Finishers offers near-wholesale pricing on materials and professional installation. We coordinate your entire yard project — sprinklers, fencing, sod, landscaping, and hardscaping — so you get one point of contact, one timeline, and bundled pricing that saves 10–20% compared to hiring each trade separately.
