Lawn & Garden

The lawn and garden industry consists of any companies that retails products meant to enhance or contribute to the up-keep of lawns and gardens. The lawn and garden market is composed of several sectors: tools, utensil, and plants, growing media, and shrubs. The tools sector involves the retailing of electric and manual lawn and garden tools. Utensils refer to plant containers, hoses, watering cans, automatic watering systems, or sprayers.

The plants, growing media, and shrubs sector is composed of seeds, compost, fertilizer, trees, plants, shrubs, and bulbs. Lawn care equipment, like leaf blowers, mowers, pesticides, shredders, or hedge trimmers, is also included in the lawn and garden industry. The lawn and garden industry can serve household consumers as well as though in the agriculture market.

A renewed interest in the lawn and garden industry has been brought about by the innovation of gardening products that are simpler to utilize, as well as the promotion of healthy and organic foods and concern about the aesthetics of a lawn. Homeowners are becoming more informed about staying environmentally conscious, and as such want to be sure that the fertilizing agents and pesticides they use for their lawns and gardens do not possess chemicals that would be harmful. This conscientiousness will bring about new opportunities for the introduction of organic products or bio-pesticides to the lawn and garden marketplace. Demand in the lawn and garden industry is driven by lawn concerns, landscaping needs, enhanced environmental awareness, as well as the new construction and the sale of existing homes.
