Three -quarters of US house owners think they should compete with their neighbors: survey

Three in four Americans feel pressure to continue with their neighbors when it comes to their home, according to a new study.

Research of 2,000 US house owners with lawns found that 76% agree to feel that they should be competitive with their neighbors for braking appeal.

In fact, half of the respondents said they found those who compare the outside of their home to the outside of their neighbors.

One in nine (11%) said they have inspiration from them close and have directly copied a choice or style presentation. Fifteen percent went so far as to say they have suspected a neighbor about copying their landscape or the outside décor of the house.

Man, the survey not only discovered that people are thinking of continuing with future yards, but many people are trying to be the best home in the block and have opened competitive for it (25%).

Fifty -one percent is important for them to have one of the most beautiful outside of the home, and the effort is clearly paid.

“When you become the owner of the house, it’s like you were immediately designed in a competitive sport inside your husband,” said Jennifer Lemcke, CEO I Weed Man. “Parto part of your home is a part of the game, and you better.

The top three areas of the respondents said they feel the most pressure to continue are a well -manicated lawn (67%), healthy green grass (66%) and lush flower beds (52%).

Having a well -maintained and seat outdoor paint (51%), the cleanest road and sidewalks (47%) and a cold entry or entry (47%) were also important.

Typically, respondents said they spend three hours (2.8) a week holding the outside of their home.

And hard work brings out the results of looking on the lawn to get out of the window-the average lawn owner spends two hours a week admiring the outside space of their home.

When it comes to maintenance money, they said they said they spend $ 122 a month, including lawn care.

Forty -six percent said it is clearer in terms of quality when their neighbors keep the outside of their home using a professional lawn care service than if they do work work.

“No matter how much time or money or money of homeowners spend on the lawn or at the outside house of the house, a sense of honor and achievement is at the heart of keeping a beautiful, durable property,” Lemcke added. “At the end of the day, a flowering lawn is not just for display – it’s a source of pride and pleasure.”
