Play Outside the Lines

Where imagination meets trail design and native ecology.

Why Adventure Yards?

Born from a love of trails, trees, and Maine’s wild places, we’re a small family business that turns all kinds of properties into natural adventures. Whether you’re a homeowner, a school, a camp, or a land trust, we design and build custom trails, play spaces, and ecological landscapes that fit your land and invite people outside. No cookie-cutter designs — just thoughtful, lasting work with a wild edge.

  • Trails for All People and Places

    From backyard loops to full-scale trail systems, we design custom trails that are welcoming, durable, and thoughtfully integrated with the land. Making outdoor exploration more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, where they are.

  • Native Landscaping

    We use hardy, low-maintenance native plants to restore habitat, support pollinators and create dynamic outdoor spaces that thrive naturally in Maine’s climate.

  • Ecological Planning

    Our designs balance fun, function, and ecology. Whether it’s a backyard trail for play or a long-distance route through wild terrain. Every project starts with a deep understanding of the land.

  • Nature-Based Play

    We create outdoor features that spark creativity and resilience. Treehouses, boulder scrambles, climbing walls, and more. All woven into the natural landscape.

  • Family Run, Maine Grown

    We’re a small, family-powered business rooted in Midcoast Maine. We care deeply about our community, our forest, and helping people fall in love with the land outside their door.

  • Sustainable Resources

    From locally-sourced wood to minimal-impact construction methods, we build with materials and practices that are gentle on the planet and built to last.
