      Athens, Georgia FAQs

      The average cost of professional lawn care service in Athens, GA ranges from $45-85 per visit for a standard quarter-acre lot. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season and include fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support - making it a more affordable option compared to traditional services.

      When choosing lawn care in Athens, GA, consider your lawn's specific needs and your budget. Key factors include: grass type (warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia are common), service frequency needed (typically every 4-6 weeks during growing season), and whether you prefer DIY or professional application. Look for services that offer soil testing and customized treatment plans.

      Professional lawn care services in Athens, GA provide expertise in maintaining warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia, regular fertilization, weed control, and pest management. They save you time and effort while ensuring proper lawn care timing and application rates based on local climate conditions and soil needs.

      In Athens, GA, mow warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia every 5-7 days during peak growing season (late spring through summer) at 1-2 inches height. Reduce mowing to every 10-14 days in early spring and fall. Avoid cutting more than 1/3 of grass height at once.

      For Athens, GA lawns, the primary growing season is March through October. Key timing includes:

      • Early spring (March): First fertilizer application
      • Late spring (May): Weed control
      • Summer (June-August): Regular fertilizing and maintenance
      • Fall (September-October): Final fertilizing and winter prep
      • Winter (November-February): Dormant season, minimal care needed

      Here are key maintenance practices for a healthy lawn in Athens, GA:

      • Water deeply but infrequently (1-1.5 inches per week) in early morning
      • Keep mower blades sharp
      • Leave grass clippings on lawn to recycle nutrients
      • Address weeds quickly through spot treatment
      • Test soil annually to monitor nutrient needs
      • Aerate compacted areas in late spring
      • Apply fertilizer based on soil test results and seasonal timing

      This approach promotes deeper roots and more resilient grass while minimizing environmental impact.

      Common lawn care challenges in Athens, GA include:

      • High humidity leading to fungal diseases
      • Clay-heavy soils that can become compacted
      • Summer heat stress on grass
      • Common weeds like crabgrass and dandelions
      • Heavy spring and fall pollen affecting grass health
      • Managing transitions between growing and dormant seasons for warm-season grasses

      Professional lawn care in Athens typically costs $45-85 per visit. Sunday's custom lawn plans offer a more affordable alternative starting at $55 per season, including fertilizer, soil testing, expert support, and optional add-ons like weed control and grass seed - all delivered to your door throughout the growing season.
