    Grass Revitalization

    I really appreciate the idea of feeding / fertilizing and promoting the healthy grass to produce more. I'd re-sodded a couple years ago and had many factors afterwards that made my lawn look bad. This has really helped to revitalize my grass!

      Baton Rouge, Louisiana FAQs

      Here are key lawn care practices for Baton Rouge:

      • Mow St. Augustine and Centipede grass at 3-4 inches high
      • Water deeply 1-2 times per week, about 1 inch total
      • Fertilize in early spring through fall during active growth
      • Control weeds before they seed in spring and fall
      • Aerate clay soils in spring to improve drainage
      • Monitor for fungal issues due to high humidity
      • Overseed thin areas with warm-season grasses in late spring

      Sunday's custom lawn plans account for Baton Rouge's climate, soil conditions and extended growing season to provide nutrients when your lawn needs them most. Plans start at $55 and include fertilizer, optional weed control, and expert support.

      In Baton Rouge's warm climate, mow when grass reaches about 4-6 inches tall, typically every 5-7 days during peak growing season (March-October) and every 10-14 days in slower growth periods. Never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade length in a single mowing.

      Professional lawn care services in Baton Rouge typically cost $45-75 per visit for a standard quarter-acre lot. Annual service packages range from $700-1200. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season with multiple shipments of fertilizer and optional add-ons, offering significant savings versus traditional services.

      For Baton Rouge lawns, water early morning to reduce evaporation and fungal growth. Apply Sunday fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during growing season. Keep grass taller in summer to protect roots from heat stress. Spot treat weeds as they appear. Test soil annually to monitor nutrient needs.

      In Baton Rouge, fertilize warm-season grasses like St. Augustine and Centipede from March through September when grass is actively growing. Apply Sunday fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during this period. Avoid fertilizing during winter dormancy from November through February.

      When choosing lawn care in Baton Rouge, consider these key factors:

      1. Evaluate your lawn needs and budget
      2. Compare full-service vs DIY options
      3. Check provider credentials and reviews
      4. Get written service quotes
      5. Verify they understand local grass types and climate

      Sunday's customized plans offer a cost-effective DIY alternative to traditional services, with expert guidance and products tailored to Baton Rouge's conditions.

      Common lawn pests in Baton Rouge include:

      • Chinch bugs that damage St. Augustine grass by sucking plant juices
      • Sod webworms that create brown patches by feeding on grass blades
      • Fire ants that build mounds and can sting
      • Mole crickets that tunnel through soil and damage grass roots
      • Armyworms that feed on grass blades in late summer

      Here are key ways to reduce water usage for your Baton Rouge lawn:

      • Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth
      • Water early morning between 4-10am to minimize evaporation
      • Install rain sensors on irrigation systems
      • Maintain proper mowing height at 3-4 inches to shade soil
      • Use mulch to retain soil moisture
      • Consider drought-resistant grass varieties
