Time & Money
Odds are good that there are things you'd rather be spending your time and
money on instead of your lawn. You may not realize just how much time and
money you're spending on your grass.
- More than 40 billion dollars are spent on the lawn in North American each
year - more than the entire continent gave in foreign aid in 2005.1,2
- The average homeowner will spend 150 hours a year maintaining their lawn
(... but only 35 on sex!)3
- Per acre, it costs more to maintain a lawn than it does to grow corn,
rice or sugarcane, and the average homeowner will spend more than $220 on
their lawns every year.4,5
- In Nova Scotia alone, more than 40 million dollars are spent on power
lawn mowers and garden equipment every year.6
