Summer's in full swing now,even in areas of the United States that received more than a foot of snow in mid-April.Mowers,trimmers,hedgers,and a host of other lawn and garden (L&G) equipment are highly visible as far north as the Upper Peninsula in Michigan.Or are they?With the housing slump also fully in force,demand for L&G products has fallen off somewhat,at least in terms of residential equipment.Commercial demand,according to market researchers at Free-donia Group (Cleveland,OH),continues to grow as the number of professional landscapers rises.
