      Box Elder, South Dakota FAQs

      In Box Elder, start your lawn care when spring temperatures consistently reach 50°F, typically in mid-April. This is perfect timing for applying Sunday's first round of nutrients to wake up your grass.

      Clear winter debris and lightly rake to remove matted grass that could cause snow mold. Check your sprinkler system and sharpen your mower blade. Early action sets the stage for a lush lawn through summer.

      Box Elder lawns often face snow mold after winter, summer drought stress, and weeds like dandelions.

      For snow mold, rake affected areas in spring to improve air flow. Combat drought by watering deeply but less often, which promotes deeper root growth. For weeds, Sunday's Dandelion Doom tackles existing problems, while proper fertilization and overseeding create a thick lawn that naturally crowds out weeds.

      Sunday prioritizes safety in all products and lawn care methods. Our nutrient formulas use ingredients that break down quickly and don't linger in your yard.

      Once Sunday products dry, family and pets can safely enjoy the lawn again. For pet owners, Sunday offers special Pet Patch products to fix spots damaged by dogs, along with grass seed mixes tough enough to handle play and foot traffic.

      A Box Elder lawn care schedule starts in early spring (April) with debris removal and first fertilizer application.

      In late spring, apply weed control and patch bare spots. Summer calls for proper watering and heat stress prevention with products like Lawn Aid. Fall is perfect for overseeding and another nutrient application. Sunday's custom lawn plans deliver exactly what you need, precisely when your lawn needs it.

      Box Elder's climate features cold winters and warm summers, which impacts when and how you care for your lawn.

Sunday's custom lawn plans factor in your local climate data, delivering the right nutrients at the right time based on Box Elder's specific growing conditions.

      Start with Sunday's soil test to identify exactly what your lawn needs. Apply custom nutrients when your plan recommends, typically starting in spring when soil temperatures reach 50°F.

      Mow at 3 inches and leave clippings to recycle nutrients. Water deeply but less often. Use Sunday's targeted weed control only where needed. Overseed thin areas with climate-appropriate seed mixes for a naturally thick, weed-resistant lawn.
