Since 2010, Yarrow Landscaping and Design has been dedicated to creating stunning outdoor spaces while breaking barriers in the landscaping industry. As a women-owned, HUB-certified business, we are proud to serve Austin and the surrounding areas with high-quality design-build landscaping services. But what exactly does HUB certification mean, and why does it matter for contractors, businesses, and the community?

A Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) is a business that is at least 51% owned, controlled, and operated by women, minorities, or service-disabled veterans. The Texas HUB Program, administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, is designed to promote fair contracting opportunities for HUB-certified businesses with state agencies, universities, and prime contractors working on state-funded projects.

By being HUB-certified, Yarrow Landscaping and Design can participate in state contracts, gain exposure to large-scale projects, and contribute to increasing diversity and inclusion in the landscaping industry.

Choosing to work with a women-owned business like Yarrow Landscaping and Design isn’t just about getting exceptional landscaping services—it’s also about making an impact. Here’s why supporting women-owned businesses matters:

Economic Growth & Job Creation – Women-owned businesses contribute significantly to the  economy, creating jobs and driving innovation.

Diversity & Inclusion – Supporting diverse businesses fosters a more inclusive marketplace where different perspectives drive creativity and success.

Community Investment – Women-owned businesses are more likely to reinvest in their local communities, supporting schools, charities, and local initiatives.

For contractors, developers, and businesses, working with a HUB-certified business comes with multiple benefits, including:

Access to State-Funded Projects – Many government contracts require or encourage HUB participation, providing more opportunities for subcontractors and prime contractors to meet diversity goals.

Tax Incentives & Compliance Benefits – Businesses that partner with HUB-certified subcontractors may be eligible for tax benefits or additional points in bid evaluations for government contracts.

Stronger Business Partnerships – Partnering with a HUB-certified business like Yarrow Landscaping and Lawncare enhances a company’s reputation as a supporter of supplier diversity.

Competitive Edge in Bidding – Government and corporate projects often have HUB participation requirements, giving businesses that work with HUB-certified companies a strategic advantage in securing contracts.

As a women-owned, HUB-certified landscaping company since 2010, Yarrow Landscaping and Design is committed to delivering high-quality design-build services while fostering diversity in the industry. Whether you’re a contractor looking for a qualified HUB-certified subcontractor, a business aiming to meet supplier diversity goals, or a homeowner wanting to support women-owned businesses, we’re here to help bring your landscaping vision to life.
