Home to about 100,000 people, the Palm Coast, FL, metro area hugs the Atlantic coast. It\u2019s sandwiched between St. Augustine to the north and Daytona Beach to the south. In this sunny setting, you\u2019ll find folks <\/span>bicycling, fishing, boating, golfing, playing tennis or bird-watching.<\/span><\/p>

You\u2019ll also find a lot of Palm Coast residents soaking up some sun on their mostly small but fairly lush lawns. After all, locals take pride in their yards, at least by one measure. Compared with the entire local workforce, the Palm Coast area employs more front-line lawn care workers and groundskeepers than any other area in the U.S., according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/span><\/p>

In 2014, the Palm Coast area had 39.2 lawn care workers and groundskeepers per 1,000 jobs — the highest rate in the U.S. In all, the area had 770 employees in that category in 2014. Numerically speaking, that\u2019s not many lawn care workers and groundskeepers. But when you consider that the metro area has just 100,000 residents, it amounts to quite a few folks.<\/span><\/p>

Of the 10 areas that made our list, seven are in Florida.<\/span><\/p>

\u2018Snowbird\u2019 Factor<\/h3>

So, why are so many workers tending to lawns in Palm Coast? To answer that question, we turned to Maxine Floyd, residential horticulture agent with the University of Florida\u2019s <\/span>Flagler County Extension<\/span>. Among the reasons, she says, are:<\/span><\/p>

1. Palm Coast is a densely populated area with a healthy number of homeowners\u2019 associations, which tend to be picky about how lawns look. However, Floyd points out that\u2019s not all that different from other Florida cities in urban areas.<\/span><\/p>

2. Palm Coast is home to a number of \u201csnowbirds\u201d — mostly retirees who take up residence there several months out of the year to escape chilly weather elsewhere. As such, many of them likely need someone to care for their lawns while they\u2019re away.<\/span><\/p>

3. Many of the snowbirds aren\u2019t familiar with pest and disease issues that affect Florida lawns, prompting them to hire lawn care professionals.<\/span><\/p>

4. Florida\u2019s higher temperatures and humidity lead to fast-growing lawns, along with an array of pest problems.<\/span><\/p>

Land of Landscaping<\/h3>

Joseph Barnes, marketing manager at <\/span>Yellowstone Landscape<\/span><\/a>, which is based in the Palm Coast area, explains that Palm Coast is a master-planned community with strict rules about landscaping.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAs a result, it\u2019s very rare to see any homes that have let their yards go,\u201d Barnes says. \u201cThe city just doesn\u2019t allow it. This means that there is always a demand for residential lawn care services.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

An even bigger factor, he says, is that a number of commercial landscaping firms are based in the Palm Coast area, including Yellowstone Landscape. Those firms have been employment magnets in an area that once depended more heavily on agriculture, according to Barnes. Many of those firms keep the greens at\u00a0area golf\u00a0courses looking green.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhen commercial landscape firms like ours opened up in the \u201990s and offered different types of employment opportunities, it wasn\u2019t too difficult to find a qualified, hardworking, legal employees willing to do the job,\u201d Barnes says.<\/span><\/p>
