Behind the survey

Lawn Love collected survey responses from a random sample of 1,033 U.S. adults aged 18 or older via Alchemer and Cint on Oct. 3, 2024.

Each response was anonymized using a unique user ID generated and assigned by Cint.

Create a hauntingly good display

Get your lawn looking its best for all of the spooky fun with these tips: 

  • Rake or mulch fallen leaves to clear space for eerie decorations. 
  • Use mulch around your plants to protect them as temperatures drop. 
  • Edge your walkways to make a clear path for trick-or-treaters. 
  • Trim overgrown shrubs for a tidier haunted yard. 
  • Plant fall flowers like mums for a pop of autumn color. 

Hire a Lawn Love crew to give your lawn a killer look this Halloween season and beyond.
