Land
While on the ground lawns seem like a fairly minor part of our landscape, a bird's eye view quickly shows just how much of our land has been consumed by the lawn.
- It is estimated that there are roughly 25 to 40 million acres of turf in the US alone.1
- An estimated 3 million acres of land in Canada is currently lawn. In North America, there are more than 58 million lawns, plus over 16,000 golf-course facilities and roughly 700,000 athletic fields. Together, they cover an area more than twice the size of the entire province of Nova Scotia.2
- More than 382,850 acres of land are converted to lawn each year in North America.3
