About Our Industry - "Healthy lawns are part of a healthy environment"
Lawn care products help protect our grass, shrubs, gardens, and turf, and deter disease-carrying insects and pests such as ticks, ants, fleas, and mosquitoes, thus resulting in significant human health benefits and reduced risks for millions of Americans.
Given the number of households and lawns in the United States, the economic impact of our service industry is considerable. Turf grass is an industry that exceeds $24 billion annually. Additionally, it is estimated that more than 500,000 people make their living directly from the care and maintenance of turf grass across the country. Furthermore, realtors say a well-maintained lawn can increase the real monetary value of property by 15%. Attractive lawns offer curbside appeal, which prompt potential homebuyers to visit the inside of the home. Turfgrass is a solid investment.
