How a Massachusetts landscaping company became an employee-owned cooperative

Waltham, MA — A Yard and a Half Landscaping was founded in 1994 and became an employee-owned cooperative in 2014.

The team always had a can-do culture, so when the time came to learn how to run the business together, they were ready for the challenge. Today, the worker-owners feel confident about speaking up and making decisions together.

We caught up with the worker-owners of A Yard and a Half more than 10 years after they made the transition to an employee-owned cooperative. Watch the video to hear how they did it and where they are now.
