Ben Sheldon

I live on Marlborough Street with my wife, our two sons, and two dogs. I started Yard-Aid to bring a thoughtful, design-first approach to gardens and exterior spaces in Back Bay and Beacon Hill, rooted in care for both the home and the neighborhood.

My work focuses on enhancing curb appeal, refining outdoor spaces, and thoughtfully incorporating natural elements indoors. Every project is approached with attention to seasonality, materials, and how a space is experienced day to day.

Yard-Aid is intentionally small and hands-on. I’m closely involved in every detail, taking the time to understand each home and create solutions that feel considered, cohesive, and lasting.

If you’re looking for a partner who values design, craftsmanship, and quiet attention to detail, I’d love to work together.
