    For effective lawn care in Buffalo Grove, focus on:

    • Nutrient management: Your soil has good potassium (175.5 ppm) but may benefit from phosphorus additions (currently 25.5 ppm) for stronger root development.
    • Mowing practices: Keep cool-season grasses at 3-4 inches tall during Illinois summers to improve drought resistance.
    • Watering strategy: The high silt content means your soil holds moisture well but can compact easily, so water deeply but infrequently.

    The clay component in Buffalo Grove lawns helps retain nutrients but can lead to drainage issues. Consider core aeration to improve soil structure and prevent compaction. A Sunday soil test kit can provide more detailed analysis for your specific property.

      Buffalo Grove, Illinois FAQs

      Start with a soil test to understand what your lawn truly needs. Sunday's Custom Lawn Plan includes a soil test kit that reveals your soil's specific nutrient needs. Apply fertilizer when temperatures are between 50°F and 85°F for best results. Mow at the proper height and water deeply but infrequently. Sunday creates a customized schedule based on Buffalo Grove's climate, ensuring you apply the right products at the right time.

      For a greener lawn in Buffalo Grove, follow Sunday's custom application schedule tailored to your local climate. Apply Sunday nutrients when your grass is actively growing and not showing stress. Water deeply in the morning to build strong roots. Mow high and leave clippings to return nutrients to the soil. Sunday's fertilizers include macro and micronutrients that promote long-term soil and lawn health without harsh chemicals.

      The best time to fertilize in Buffalo Grove is when temperatures are between 50°F and 85°F and your grass is actively growing. For cool-season lawns in northern Illinois, this typically means early spring and fall applications. Sunday custom plans deliver nutrients right when your lawn needs them, with application dates specifically tailored to Buffalo Grove's climate and growing season.

      Buffalo Grove lawns often face winter dormancy issues, spring weeds, summer brown patches, and fall weeds. Sunday helps with custom nutrients that build lawn health and targeted treatments. Common issues include brown spots, weeds, and thin patches. Sunday's weed control products like Dandelion Doom and Weed & Green, plus seeding options, help fill bare areas.

      Buffalo Grove's climate features cold winters, warm summers, and moderate rainfall, affecting when you should fertilize, seed, and treat weeds. Sunday accounts for these local conditions in your custom plan, timing deliveries when your lawn needs them most. The cold winters mean your grass likely goes dormant, while hot summer days may require more watering.

      For a thriving Buffalo Grove lawn, mow high and regularly, keeping your blade at 3-4 inches for cool-season grasses. Water deeply but infrequently, about 1-1.5 inches per week. Apply Sunday fertilizers according to your custom schedule. Control weeds in spring and fall when they're most vulnerable. Overseed thin areas in early fall when soil is warm but air is cooling.
