Household Spending on Landscape Pros Rose in 1995! U.S. households turned to landscape professionals for $6.2 billion worth of "green home improvement" in 1995, according to a recent Gallop survey sponsored by the American Association of Nurserymen (AAN). Gallop estimates that an additional three million households will purchase these services in 1996. To help ensure continued growth, the National Landscape Association, the landscape professional division of the AAN, has elected Richard C. Barrett, RLA, as its new regional director.
