Yarbo's modular lawn maintenance devices make lawn care a breeze
One of the best things about summer? Kicking back on the patio and enjoying your backyard. One of the worst things about summer? Everything it takes to keep it looking good. Yarbo's changing all that by simplifying yard care during summer and beyond with its line of automated, eco-friendly modular lawn care products. Yarbo is the world's first multifunctional modular lawn robot, made up of one intelligent core device that powers interchangeable modules that do the hard work. What does that mean for you? Kicking back while your automated Yarbo system mows the lawn, trims the edges and clears away leaves and snow. The Yarbo Trimmer is its latest innovation and delivers super-precise, consistent results along lawn borders and tight spaces. You can preorder one now, as well as a Yarbo Core, for August shipment. Also new in? The just dropped Lawn Mower Pro, the newest and coolest robotic lawn mower setup on the block. Best of all, you can preorder it now for a major discount. Yarbo's whole goal is to take your lawn care to-do list, rip it up and revolutionize all-season yard maintenance with its automatic, modular yard robot system. The company started out in 2015 with Snowbot, inspired by the idea that winter snow removal makes life harder but doesn't have any great technological solutions. Since then, it's expanded its intentions and capabilities with Yarbo, which launched in 2022. Yarbo's version of the future is one with fully automated yards, which means more time for what matters. With so many pain points of lawn care swept away with Yarbo's innovations, it's no wonder the company has raised more than $27 million in its recent Series B round. The company's about to use it to scale up in a big way by enhancing its supply chain and production, increasing R&D investment and developing its products. Yarbo will also deepen its partnerships with suppliers and banking institutions this year, enabling it to make its products the best they can be as the company gears up to ship tens of thousands of units in 2025. Also on the to-do list, thanks to the investments, is to hire top talent, speed up its product development and strengthen its business overall while kicking off pre-IPO planning. Every dollar is being used to develop and secure Yarbo's path forward as the leader in automated lawn care. Yarbo sets itself apart from the competition with a single vision that drives all of its innovation and strategy. It harnesses cutting-edge technology to tackle real-world challenges in yard maintenance, and the model (and future product development) is constantly reinforced and tweaked by feedback from the customers themselves. The company also takes a ton of pride in what it's created from scratch, thanks to creativity, robotics know-how and a belief that lawn care can be much easier than it is now. Plus, it's rallied a great team around it with employees who support the company mission and consistently demonstrate intelligence, integrity, resilience and foresight. Lawn care has always been full of gadgets and gizmos promising life-changing, couldn't-be-simpler results, but that's not what Yarbo is about. Instead, it's making investment-worthy tech that's designed to simplify yard care through its modular smart robotics, not the latest flash-in-the-pan craze. That means asking real people what they need, whether that's through online messages or onsite visits. Yarbo's team engages with its customers to find out what's working and what can be improved in future product design, essentially making them product managers in the making. Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro The Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro attaches to your Yarbo Core to take care of mowing your yard without you having to lift a finger, no matter how damp or thick the yard is. The best part about Yarbo is that its modular construction means the robot can be on hand to help at any time of the year with whatever the seasons demand of it. For the cooler seasons ahead, you can buy components that turn your robotic lawn mower into an autonomous leaf blower or snowblower. That's not all the brand has coming out, though. You can also preorder August's hot drop now, the Yarbo Trimmer, which is designed to ensure you never have to do that pesky task yourself again. Yarbo Trimmer Forget hours spent trimming the edges after a hot few hours spent mowing the lawn. Yarbo's trimmer has an adjustable height and can navigate around gardens and trees for hands-off lawn care from start to finish. Preorder now for August shipment, but keep in mind you'll need the Back Brace Mount (below) to connect it to your Yarbo Back Brace Mount Equipped with a tow hitch and made to connect seamlessly to your robot mower, this mount connects your Yarbo Core with the Trimmer (plus some future attachments Yarbo has up its sleeve).Yarbo Snowblower Bundle Buy your Yarbo Core and Snowblower in one handy bundle that gets you everything you need to use, charge and store it. Best of all is the physical controller, which looks like a video game controller and makes handling this chore (from inside, where it's warm) so much more Blower Module It'll be fall before you know it, and a leaf blower helps make lawn care so much easier. This module attaches to your existing Yarbo Core to help make clearing paths a breeze. Don't wait to preorder the Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro to score the discounts (and pick up a module for the seasons ahead). After all, we're hitting peak summer; it's time to kick back and enjoy living in an age when you really can get a robot to do your yard work for you.

Yarbo Secures $27M+ Series B Funding to Accelerate Global Growth, Innovation, and Ecosystem Expansion
NEW YORK, April 17, 2025 /CNW/ -- Yarbo, the world's first year-round multipurpose intelligent yard robot, has successfully closed its Series B funding round, raising approximately $27M USD. The round was backed by a group of strategic and financial investors, bolstering Yarbo's vision of reimagining how the world handles outdoor work – one season at a time. This fresh injection of capital will turbocharge Yarbo's ability to scale mass production, enhance supply chain resilience, and deepen investment in R&D, fuelling faster product optimisation and iteration. The company also plans to accelerate talent acquisition, strengthen liquidity, and push forward with pre-IPO planning as it sets its sights on global expansion and long-term market leadership. A Decade of Innovation, One Yard at a Time Founded in 2015, Yarbo began life as Snowbot: targeting the infamously tough task of snow removal, a long-standing pain point for homeowners. Since then, the company has transformed from a niche robotics brand into a global category leader in outdoor automation, now operating under the Yarbo name. With its signature "1+N" modular design, Yarbo offers year-round functionality powered by one intelligent core robot and a growing family of interchangeable modules. From snow blowing in winter, to lawn mowing in summer, to leaf blowing in autumn, Yarbo has become a household name for those who'd rather relax in their gardens than maintain them. In 2022, Yarbo's crowdfunding campaign raised over $3.45M USD, and by 2024, its own direct-to-consumer full-payment pre-order campaign generated 6,000+ orders. With momentum continuing to build, Yarbo expects 4–5x sales growth in 2025, supported by expansion across North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia. New Trimmer Module Nears Mass Production Hot off the back of a successful Spring Sale & Robotic Trimmer Launch livestream in early April – where Yarbo moved 702 total units, including 284 trimmers, and raked in over $850,000 in sales within 2 hours – the new Trimmer Module is fast approaching mass production. Designed to tackle edges, tight spots, and other areas your mower can't reach, the Trimmer expands Yarbo's spring and summer capabilities, perfectly complementing the Lawn Mower and Blower modules. Yarbo's modular expansion doesn't stop there. Future modules are in development to cover tasks such as granular or liquid spraying, moving your garbage bins to the curb, dog waste picking, and even fruit harvesting. All without changing the core robot. The goal? A full-spectrum, "1+N" yard ecosystem that meets every seasonal demand and makes yard work a relic of the past. The Future of Yard Work Is Modular After a well-received showcase at CES 2025, Yarbo continues to build on its latest product innovations, including: "Follow Me" Mode – Let Yarbo visually track and follow you, hands-free. 3,500 lbs pulling capacity – Yes, really. From firewood to garden carts. Quick-swap design – Change tracks, antennas or modules in under 5 minutes. Halow-powered Data Center – Better connectivity, stronger signal, wider coverage. Whether it's clearing leaves, trimming lawn edges, or prepping for a summer BBQ, Yarbo is the robotic outdoor companion for every season. The future looks even brighter (and a lot less back-breaking) for yard owners everywhere. Interested in trying Yarbo for yourself? We're happy to arrange media test units, product demos, and interviews to showcase just how easy spring yard work can be. Yarbo is actively recruiting distributors in both North America and Europe. For those interested, please email dealer@ or visit For more information on Yarbo, please visit About Yarbo Yarbo is the world's first multi-purpose yard robot, designed to meet over 20 kinds of yard care demands such as snow blowing, lawn mowing, leaf blowing and more.
