Americans spend a lot of time in their backyards — and a lot of money making sure those yards check all the right boxes.
The typical homeowner spends nearly 12 hours a week in their outdoor spaces, according to a survey of 2,000 homeowners conducted by Talker Research on behalf of outdoor deck manufacturer Trex. Research compiled by the Workyard website found that the average household spends around $3,600 a year on landscaping alone. That doesn’t even include thousands more spent on backyard features.
