      Columbia, Missouri FAQs

      The average cost of professional lawn care services in Columbia, MO ranges from $45-75 per visit for a standard quarter-acre lot. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season, offering a more affordable alternative with personalized nutrients, soil testing, and expert support delivered to your door.

      Professional lawn mowing services in Columbia, MO typically cost $35-60 per mow for an average quarter-acre yard. Factors affecting price include yard size, terrain, obstacles, and mowing frequency. Weekly mowing during peak growing season is recommended for most Columbia lawns.

      When choosing lawn care in Columbia, MO, consider these key factors:

      • Climate-specific treatments for hot summers and cold winters
      • Service schedule aligned with cool-season grass growing patterns
      • Soil testing to address common clay soil issues
      • Environmentally responsible practices that protect local waterways
      • Provider's expertise with common regional challenges like crabgrass and dandelions

      During peak growing season (April-June, September-October), mow weekly when grass is actively growing, keeping cool-season grasses at 2.5-3.5 inches tall. In summer (July-August) and late fall, mow every 10-14 days as growth slows. Never remove more than 1/3 of grass height per mowing.

      Here are key lawn care practices for Columbia, MO:

      Spring (March-May):

      • Apply fertilizer when soil temperatures reach 55°F
      • Spot treat emerging weeds
      • Mow at 2.5-3.5 inches height

      Summer (June-August):

      • Water deeply 1-2 times per week, early morning
      • Raise mowing height to 3.5-4 inches
      • Avoid fertilizing during peak heat

      Fall (September-November):

      • Core aerate and overseed in September
      • Continue mowing until growth stops
      • Apply final fertilizer application

      Winter (December-February):

      • Avoid walking on frozen grass
      • Clear leaves and debris
      • Service lawn equipment

      For a healthy lawn in Columbia, MO:

      • Test soil to identify nutrient needs
      • Water deeply 1-2 times weekly, about 1 inch per watering
      • Maintain proper mowing height of 2.5-3.5 inches for cool-season grasses
      • Apply fertilizer in early spring and fall
      • Address weeds through spot treatment
      • Overseed thin areas in early fall
      • Core aerate annually to reduce soil compaction

      The 1/3 rule states you should never cut off more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. This prevents stress on the grass and promotes healthier growth. For example, if your grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut off more than 1 inch.

      The average cost for professional lawn treatment in Columbia, MO ranges from $45-75 per visit. Sunday's custom lawn plans offer a more budget-friendly option starting at $55 per season, with multiple nutrient applications delivered throughout your growing season.
