Vote for America's Ugliest Yard!

America's Two Ugliest Yards Will Get First Aid from the Briggs & Stratton Yard
Doctor

MILWAUKEE, July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Four of America's ugliest yards have
been identified and now it's up to everyone to decide which two will receive
landscaping cash, new yard care equipment and a house call from the Yard
Doctor for some emergency care. Vote by July 23 at myuglyyard.com.
The finalists, singled out from hundreds of entries, are yards that tip
the ugly scale for different reasons. One includes a collection of lawn
ornaments and rummage sale finds (entered in the competition by the son of the
homeowner) while others just gradually slipped into the ugly zone as yard care
issues mounted. One thing they have in common: all could use some help to
get back on track again.
"Yard care issues can start out small and escalate," explains Yard Doctor
Trey Rogers, Ph.D., on behalf of Briggs & Stratton Corporation. "All of a
sudden you look outside one day and your yard is out of control. The good
news is you can fix it -- you just need some ideas and motivation to get
things looking good again."
Rogers, Ph.D., will help the two homeowners who get the most votes from
consumers everywhere. He will diagnose problems, prescribe treatment and
bring along a $1,000 check and new Briggs & Stratton-powered yard care
equipment.
Yard Doctor Trey Rogers has more than 20 years experience helping everyone
from homeowners across America to Olympic Games' groundskeepers perfect their
turf. He's also the author of the lawn care book, Lawn Geek, and mans the
phones for the annual Yard Smarts Hotline which offers free yard care advice
every spring.
