If your idea of a perfect weekend involves a pair of work gloves, a perusal through the USDA Plant Hardiness Map, a trip to your local nursery, and the smell of freshly cut grass, you just might be a Landscaper personality type.

For the Landscaper, a yard isn't just a patch of grass—it’s a living masterpiece. While others see "yard work" as a chore, you see it as a rewarding challenge. You take pride in the sense of accomplishment that comes from a perfectly edged flower bed and a thriving, healthy lawn.

What Defines a Landscaper?

• Precision Planting: You live by TurfMutt’s Golden Rule: "right plant, right place." You choose species that flourish in your specific climate with minimal fuss and maximum impact.
• The Right Tools: From zero-turn mowers to string trimmers, you know that having the right outdoor power equipment makes even the biggest jobs a breeze.
• Neighborhood Pro: Your yard is so healthy and vibrant that neighbors don’t just admire it, they come to you for advice on their own living landscapes.

Whether you’re keeping the yard lush for family play or meticulously pruning shrubs to create a backyard sanctuary, your dedication helps save the planet one yard at a time. After all, a well-maintained living landscape doesn’t just look great, it also captures carbon, produces oxygen and keeps our communities cool.
