    Maryland lawns in Bethesda average 3,474 square feet, featuring cool-season grasses that thrive in the region's climate. The soil makeup - a mix of silt, sand, and clay - creates good growing conditions when properly maintained. While the slightly acidic pH of 6.7 works well for most grasses, regular soil testing helps track nutrient levels.

    To maintain a healthy Bethesda lawn:

    • Follow a custom lawn plan based on your soil's specific needs
    • Mow regularly at 3-4 inches height for cool-season grasses
    • Water deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth
    • Apply fertilizer during peak growing seasons

    The nutrient levels in Bethesda lawns point to areas needing attention:

    1. Moderate phosphorus levels support root development
    2. Calcium content helps maintain soil structure
    3. Iron levels aid in maintaining green color
    4. Potassium could benefit from supplementation through targeted nutrients

    To date, our lawn has improved in color and depth. Some clover still exists, but it's minimal. July and August heat will be the test.

    Worked great

    I have buttercups that pop up every year. This finally wiped them out for the season. Yay! Hopefully this comes back in stock so I can pretreat my yard this fall in hopes of preventing them from coming back next spring

    Green with envy

    Love the smart lawn plan! When we moved in the previous tenants had let the yard become overrun by weeds. We put on fresh turf and started our smart lawn plan, Our yard is now the envy of the whole block! “What's your secret” they ask. “Get Sunday” I reply, plus the occasional watering and draught defense for this drought we're having. The free aeration and fertilizer from our playful pup is helpful too I guess. Needless to say we're big fans of the pet lawn seed and patch mix as well!

    Works incredibly well

    All of our neighbors are understandably jealous of our awesome lawn thanks to Get Sunday. We had new sod installed and put Get Sunday on it right away. The grass has grown in lush and green. It handles our six year old playing soccer on it and our dog running crazy zoomies on it. The other plants near the lawn love it too.
