Abstract
Turfgrass and landscape combine to form the surroundings for, not only our homes, parks, and recreational areas, but the workplace in which we spend much of our time. Home lawns, roadsides, parks, golf courses, and common areas are important as places for play and relaxation for children and adults as well. This desire for a more beautiful, natural surrounding has led to a continuing growth in the demand for both products and services for the turfgrass and landscape industry. Better maintained turfgrass and landscape benefit the public in four ways: 1) personal gardening satisfaction 2) aesthetics 3) property value enhancement 4) an environmentally friendly cover for the soil. To obtain these benefits, research and industry have combined to provide a continuing stream of enhancement. This paper discusses the benefits the American public receives from turfgrass and landscape, and attempts to quantify their value and future direction.
