My lawn is looking good. There are still a lot of dandelions spreading throughout the lawn but I just received the container and electric sprayer to use with the container of dandelion doom that I have. I certainly have seen an improvement and I would say my number of stars should really be 4 1/2.

Augusta, Maine FAQs

Traditional lawn care services in Augusta can cost up to $1500 yearly. Sunday's custom lawn care plans start at $80, with pricing based on your lawn size and plan options. Each plan includes custom lawn fertilizer, a soil test kit with expert analysis, options for weeds and seeds, and access to Sunday's Yard Advisors. Sunday helps Augusta homeowners save hundreds while keeping a healthy lawn.

Augusta lawns need cool-season care timing. Apply fertilizer in spring (April-May) when grass starts growing, and again in fall (September-October) for strong roots. Fall (late August to early October) is best for seeding when soil is warm but air is cooling. Sunday's custom plans deliver products at the right times for Augusta's climate, taking away the guesswork.

Mow Augusta lawns when grass reaches 3-4 inches, about weekly during spring and fall. Cut to 2.5-3 inches in normal conditions, but taller (3-3.5 inches) during summer heat. Mow less often when growth slows in hot weather. Never cut more than one-third of the grass blade at once. Wait at least two days after applying Sunday products before mowing.

Watch for brown patches that don't green up after watering - this may signal grubs, chinch bugs or ticks. Sunday offers targeted pest control products like Nix Ticks that are safer for families and pets. A thick, healthy lawn from proper watering and feeding creates natural pest resistance. Sunday's Yard Advisor team can help identify specific pest issues in your Augusta lawn.

Start with a soil test to understand your lawn's needs - Sunday includes this in all plans. Then identify your grass type - Augusta typically has Kentucky bluegrass or fescues. Next, set proper mowing habits (keeping grass 2.5-3 inches tall) and water deeply once weekly (about 1 inch). Finally, plan your seasonal fertilizing, weed control, and seeding based on Maine's climate.

Choose a plan made for cool-season grasses in New England's climate. Look for nitrogen-rich fertilizer for spring growth, products that handle Augusta's humid summers, and fall nutrients for winter prep. Sunday analyzes your specific soil, climate, and lawn size to deliver exactly what your Augusta lawn needs when it needs it. Pick products that work with nature.
