Who we are

Colton is the sole operator at YardFolk, where he brings his unique expertise to every project. Hailing from a small coal mining community nestled in the heart of Harlan County, Kentucky, he has deep roots in the Appalachian culture. With a degree in Geology, Colton previously dedicated his career to groundwater and soil sciences. What began as a small side job has blossomed into a thriving business that he truly loves and cherishes. Colton discovered his passion while playing in the dirt, transforming outdoor spaces into livable, usable, and affordable havens for families to enjoy. Embracing the Appalachian belief in wasting nothing and utilizing everything, he integrates this philosophy into every aspect of his work, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.
