      Charleston, South Carolina FAQs

      The best time to aerate warm-season lawns in Charleston is late spring to early summer (May-June) when grass is actively growing. For cool-season grass areas, aerate in early fall (September-October). Only aerate when soil is moist but not waterlogged, and grass is healthy and established.

      The 1/3 rule means never cut off more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. This maintains grass health by preventing shock and stress. For example, if your grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut off more than 1 inch during mowing.

      In Charleston's warm climate, mow every 5-7 days during peak growing season (April-October) and every 10-14 days during slower growth periods. Adjust frequency based on rainfall and growth rate, maintaining grass height between 2-3 inches for most warm-season grasses common in the area.

      The most cost-effective way to maintain a Charleston lawn is doing it yourself with basic equipment - a mower, spreader, and targeted products. A Sunday custom lawn plan starting at $55 provides fertilizer, soil testing, and expert guidance while being more affordable than traditional lawn services that can cost hundreds per visit.

      Professional lawn care services in Charleston typically cost $45-75 per visit for basic mowing and trimming of an average-sized yard (under 5,000 sq ft). Full-service lawn maintenance including fertilization and weed control averages $150-200 per month. Sunday's customized lawn care plans start at $55 per season, offering a more affordable DIY alternative.

      For a standard residential lawn in Charleston (1/4 acre or less), professional mowing services typically charge $45-65 per visit. Larger yards, additional services like edging and blowing, or difficult terrain can increase costs. Weekly mowing during peak growing season averages around $200-260 per month.

      To calculate lawn care costs in Charleston, measure your lawn size in square feet first. For professional services, expect to pay $45-75 per mow for yards under 5,000 sq ft, plus $150-200 monthly for fertilization and weed control. Sunday's custom plans start at $55 per season with free shipping and expert support.

      Professional lawn treatment services in Charleston typically cost $150-200 per month for fertilization and weed control. Sunday's custom lawn plans offer a more affordable alternative starting at $55 per season, with fertilizer, weed control options, and expert support delivered right to your door.
