Traditional lawn care services can run up to $1,500 per year. Sunday's first box starts at $55 and includes a custom nutrient plan, free soil analysis, and expert consultations. Full plan costs vary by lawn size and any add-ons you choose.

The 1/3 rule means never cutting more than one-third of your grass blade height at once. This keeps roots strong and reduces stress on your lawn. Mowing too short weakens grass and invites weeds to move in.

DIY with a custom plan instead of hiring a service. Sunday starts at $55 and can save you hundreds compared to traditional services costing up to $1,500 yearly. Leave grass clippings on your lawn for free nutrients (grasscycling works!).

Most lawns thrive with 2-4 fertilizer applications spread across the growing season. Sunday ships nutrients when your lawn actually needs them based on local climate and soil data. Wait 7-10 days between applications if using multiple products.

Apply fertilizer when temperatures stay between 50°F and 85°F. Early morning works best. For cool-season grasses common in Auburn, spring and fall are prime feeding times. Only fertilize actively growing grass (skip dormant or stressed lawns).

Every two weeks can work during slower growth periods, but most lawns need weekly mowing during peak season. Follow the 1/3 rule and adjust based on how fast your grass grows. Sharpen blades every six months for cleaner cuts.
