American Homeowners Agree – Having a Good-Looking Lawn is Very Important
May 16 2023 - 9:00AM
Angi, a leading and comprehensive solution for home services, today
released the results of a nationwide survey that shows how the
friendly lawn competition among neighbors is heating up this
summer.
More than 94% of Americans believe that a well-manicured lawn is
important to the overall appearance of their home and 49% of
homeowners claim that their grass is greener than their neighbors.
When asked specifically about their confidence in their lawns, Utah
homeowners showed the most confidence (72%) while Washingtonians
and North Carolinians both showed the least confidence (48%). The
least competitive state when it comes to how their lawn compares to
neighbors? Hawaii (20%).
“Lawns and outdoor spaces have always been an important part of
any home,” said Angie Hicks, Chief Customer Officer of Angi.
“There’s a sense of pride that comes with having a well-maintained,
green lawn and it’s interesting to see the value that homeowners
placed on outdoor space during the pandemic continue. We know
there’s a willingness from homeowners to learn and invest in
maintaining their lawns, and there’s never been a better time to do
just that.”
Why are homeowners so focused on keeping their lawns in tip-top
shape? 34% of respondents said it was so they could enjoy their
outside space. Others noted that they do it for the aesthetics, for
playing with kids and dogs and for hosting outdoor barbecues.
Continued Ms. Hicks, “While we know that homeowners take great
pride in their lawns, data from our survey shows that many still
aren’t quite sure about the best way to tackle lawn maintenance.
It’s important that homeowners understand the type of grass and
landscaping they have and how to properly maintain it in order to
get the most out of their outdoor spaces.”
One of the most surprising survey findings surrounded another
pandemic boom – pets. More than 73% of surveyed homeowners said
they take on more lawn maintenance to roll out the green carpet for
their prized pets. Maryland (100%), Wyoming (93%), Utah (92.8%) and
Arizona (92.3%) had the highest number of respondents who claimed
to take on more maintenance for their furry friends.
It doesn’t look like lawn envy is easing up anytime soon, with
data from our State of Home Spending report showing that over the
next five years over 25% of homeowners plan to tackle large outdoor
renovations.
