Professional lawn care services can run up to $1,500 per year. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 for your first box and include soil analysis, personalized nutrient schedules, and expert support. Most homeowners save hundreds compared to traditional services while getting pesticide-free care tailored to Bend's climate.

The 1/3 rule means never cutting more than one-third of your grass height at once. This prevents stress on your lawn and encourages thicker, healthier turf that naturally crowds out weeds. For Bend's cool-season grasses, mow on your mower's highest setting and adjust seasonally.

Fertilize Bend lawns when grass is actively growing and temperatures stay between 50°F and 85°F. Spring and fall are prime feeding seasons for cool-season grasses. Apply to well-watered soil in early morning, then wait at least two days before mowing for best nutrient absorption.

Lawn service typically means hiring someone to mow, trim, and maintain your yard. Lawn care focuses on feeding and nurturing your grass through fertilization, soil health, and weed management. Sunday delivers custom nutrient plans to your door so you can handle the care part yourself.

Watch for thinning grass, persistent bare patches, yellowing blades, or weeds taking over. Fungal issues often show up as brown or matted spots. These signs usually point to nutrient deficiencies, poor watering habits, or compacted soil. A soil test helps pinpoint exactly what your Bend lawn needs.

Start by watering deeply to reduce stress, then feed with nutrients matched to your soil's needs. Pull weeds by hand when possible and mow high to encourage root growth. Overseed bare spots during Bend's spring or fall when temperatures hit 55–70°F for cool-season grasses.
