Our Story – From the Original “Yard Brat” Himself

Straight from the original Yard Brat, Nick Foy

It all started in the summer of 1980 in New York. I was just five years old when my father took my brother, sister, and me to one of his landscaping job sites. He ran a successful business with a full crew, but that day, we were along for the experience—and because he was babysitting.

While the crew worked on building a baseball field, laying sod and hauling clay, I did what I did best—I got dirty. I climbed into wheelbarrows, played in the clay, and rolled around in the dirt. Before long, there were orange handprints all over my father’s brand-new F-250, and my clothes were completely covered in mud.

My father and I always had a great relationship. He’d shake his head and laugh, asking, “Why are you always in the dirt? What are you doing?” I’d grin and reply, “Well, ya got me workin’.”

With his distinctive accent, he joked, “You’re a jitterbug. You gotta be a brat. Always in the dirt… you brat. Can’t keep yourself clean, and now you wanna sit in my truck?”

That’s when I said it:
“I am a brat… I’ll be a Yard Brat!”

He stopped, looked at me, and said, “What did you just say? Yard Brat? That’s it—that’s the name.”

And just like that, Yard Brat Landscaping was born.

Growing Into More

What started as a lighthearted moment between a father and his messy kid grew into something much bigger. Over the years, the business expanded into a sod farm, a nursery, and eventually into what it is today—Yard Brat Pest & Termite.

Along the way, I developed a deep fascination with animals—especially insects. I spent years learning about their behavior, movement, and the impact they have on people’s homes and lives.

Those early days taught me more than just hard work. They showed me what it means to build something meaningful, to serve people with integrity, and to provide services they can truly rely on.

A Passion That Drives Us Today

That same passion still drives everything we do today.

We’re committed to helping homeowners and businesses understand pest problems, eliminate them effectively, and prevent future infestations. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping someone protect their property while creating a safer, healthier environment.

Sincerely,
Nick Foy
