100% free. No income paperwork.

Serving Austin & Travis County. We never charge families a cent.

Our Charter

A zero-cost, dual-engine relief model

Yard Reboot Project pairs boots-on-the-ground property restoration with a digital media engine. Crews clear hazards and rebuild gardens at no charge to the homeowner, while the documented transformations generate the audience and sponsorship revenue that funds the next reboot. Families never pay, never apply for reimbursement, and never lose their home to compounding code fines.

Who we serve

Low-Income Seniors

Homeowners 65+ living on fixed incomes who can no longer keep up with city maintenance standards.

Disabled Military Veterans

Service-connected disabled veterans whose properties have fallen behind after deployment or injury.

Immobile & Health-Impaired

Neighbors recovering from injury or surgery, or managing chronic illness that makes yard work impossible.

High-Risk Code Properties

Households facing daily municipal code fines of $200–$2,000 per day that spiral into liens.

What We Do

Three steps from citation to sanctuary

  1. Step 1

    Hazard Clearance & ASMR Overhaul

    Full mowing, edging, brush removal, and debris hauling to bring the property back into compliance in a single day.

  2. Step 2

    Regenerative Garden Refresh

    Native pollinator pockets and waist-high accessible vegetable beds so the homeowner can keep growing without bending down.

  3. Step 3

    Digital Media Storytelling

    Every transformation is documented and published — the media engine that funds the next family's reboot.
