Average residential lawn size in Minnesota #850563

Asked September 19, 2023, 7:05 PM EDT

Hello, I'm a University of Minnesota student working on a research project about Minnesota yards and lawns and the potential alternatives. I've found great information on this site. Thank you and your teams very much, I appreciate the work you do. My question is about a statistic from this site https://www.naturalshore.com/turf-lawn-to-prairie/ that references the University of Minnesota Extension saying " the average residential lawn size in Minnesota ranges from 0.15 to 0.25 acres, or 6,500 and 10,890 square feet." I haven't been able to find this statistic on the site and was looking for verification.

Hi Corbin,

I am more than happy to help you get the confirmation you need-I hope you don't need it tonight as it may take a few days.

Did you ask Natural Shore who wrote the article you saw?  Maybe the author can tell us here that statistic was found.  

I will ask my U of M Extension contact who might know where stat can be found.

Stay tuned.

I don't need it tonight thankfully but thank you for your timely response! I have sent a request but their only contact seems to be primarily for selling landscaping services 

Best,
