      Acton, Massachusetts FAQs

      Traditional lawn care services in Acton can cost up to $1500 per year. Sunday offers a more affordable option with custom plans starting between $55-100, based on your lawn size. Each plan includes custom fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support. Many Acton homeowners save hundreds each year with Sunday's approach while getting better results for their lawns.

      Effective lawn care in Acton starts with understanding your soil and local climate. Key factors include proper mowing height, watering deeply but less often, and applying the right nutrients at the right time. Sunday's soil test helps identify what your specific lawn needs. Regular maintenance and watching for early signs of weeds or pests will keep your Acton lawn healthy year-round.

      Acton lawns face New England's distinct challenges: cold winters with snow damage, hot summers with potential drought, and seasonal pest pressures like grubs. The region's soil often needs specific nutrients based on testing. Common issues include moss in shady areas and crabgrass in summer. Sunday's custom plans address these regional challenges with products and timing made for your lawn.

      Yes! Sunday's DIY approach works great for Acton homeowners. You get custom products based on your soil, climate, and lawn size, delivered when you need them. The simple application process takes minutes, not hours. You'll save money compared to hiring services while using products made with better ingredients. Plus, you can apply treatments when it fits your schedule.

      In Acton, lawn care follows New England's growing season. Early spring (April) is for initial fertilization once soil warms. Late spring through summer (May-August) needs regular feeding every 4-6 weeks. Fall (September-October) is ideal for overseeding and final fertilization. Sunday creates a custom timeline for your lawn based on local climate patterns and soil test results.

      A personalized plan for your Acton lawn targets your yard's specific needs. Sunday uses soil testing to identify exactly what your lawn lacks. This approach means healthier grass with fewer weeds while using only what's needed. You'll get products designed for Acton's climate and soil, delivered when your lawn needs them, creating a greener yard that's safer for families and pets.
