    Let's get started

      Anchorage, Alaska FAQs

      In Anchorage's short growing season (May-September), apply fertilizer 2-3 times: once in late spring when soil temperatures reach 50°F, again in mid-summer, and optionally in early fall before first frost. Space applications 6-8 weeks apart for best results.

      The 1/3 rule states you should never cut more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. This maintains grass health by preventing shock and stress. For example, if your grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut more than 1 inch off at a time.

      When choosing lawn care in Anchorage, consider these key factors:

      1. Growing season expertise - Look for services familiar with Anchorage's short May-September season
      2. Personalized approach - Your lawn plan should account for local climate, soil conditions, and grass types
      3. Environmentally responsible practices - Choose services that use targeted applications and better ingredients

      Sunday provides customized lawn care plans starting at $55, significantly less than traditional services. Plans include fertilizer, soil testing, expert support, and optional add-ons like weed control - all delivered on a schedule aligned with Anchorage's growing season.

      Professional lawn care in Anchorage can be worth it, especially given the short growing season and unique climate challenges. Sunday's customized plans start at $55 and provide expert guidance, soil testing, and properly timed nutrients - helping you maximize results during the brief May-September window while being more cost-effective than traditional services.

      To calculate lawn care costs in Anchorage, measure your lawn's square footage by multiplying length by width for each section. Typical local professional services charge $50-75 per visit. Sunday's customized plans start at $55 with multiple shipments throughout the growing season, offering significant savings over traditional services.

      Professional lawn mowing services in Anchorage typically charge $45-65 per visit for an average-sized lawn (5,000-7,000 sq ft). Prices vary based on lot size, terrain, and mowing frequency needed during the May-September growing season.

      Here are the key lawn care best practices for Anchorage's unique climate:

      Mowing height: Keep grass 2.5-3 inches tall to develop deeper roots and better drought resistance.

      Watering: Water deeply but infrequently, about 1 inch per week. Water early morning to prevent evaporation and fungal growth.

      Seeding: Use cold-hardy grass varieties like Kentucky bluegrass or fine fescue. Best time to seed is early August to establish before winter.

      Fertilizing: Apply nutrients when soil temperatures reach 50°F, typically mid-May. Focus on nitrogen-rich fertilizers to support growth during short season.

      Weed control: Spot treat weeds as they emerge. A thick, healthy lawn naturally discourages weed growth.

      Remember to adjust practices based on your specific yard conditions and weather patterns.

      For Anchorage's climate, aerate your lawn in early summer when soil is moist but not wet. This improves drainage and root growth during the short growing season. Maintain grass at 3 inches and gradually reduce height to 2 inches before winter to prevent snow mold. Test soil pH in spring and adjust if needed.
