      Columbia, South Carolina FAQs

      For warm-season grasses in Columbia, SC, apply fertilizer from late spring through summer, typically starting in May when soil temperatures reach 65°F. Make 3-4 applications spaced 6-8 weeks apart through September. Avoid fertilizing during winter dormancy from November through early spring.

      Professional lawn care services in Columbia, SC typically cost $45-75 per visit or $150-200 monthly. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season and include personalized fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support. Plans can be customized with weed control, grass seed, and pest treatments delivered throughout your growing season.

      The most cost-effective lawn maintenance in Columbia includes:

      • Mow regularly at proper height (3-4 inches)
      • Water deeply but infrequently (1-1.5 inches per week)
      • Apply fertilizer 3-4 times during growing season
      • Spot treat weeds rather than whole lawn treatments
      • Overseed in fall to maintain thick turf that naturally prevents weeds

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

      1. Evaluate your lawn's specific needs (size, grass type, problem areas)
      2. Compare service offerings and pricing options
      3. Look for customized plans vs one-size-fits-all approaches
      4. Check if they offer soil testing and personalized recommendations
      5. Ensure they understand warm-season grass care for the Columbia climate

      Sunday provides personalized lawn plans tailored to your yard's needs with soil testing, custom fertilizer, and expert support. Plans start at $55 per season, making it more affordable than traditional services that average $45-75 per visit.

      The average cost to mow a lawn in Columbia, SC ranges from $35-65 per cut for a standard quarter-acre lot. Prices vary based on lot size, terrain, and service frequency. Weekly mowing during peak growing season (April-October) is recommended for warm-season grasses common in Columbia.

      Professional lawn care services in Columbia typically cost $45-75 per visit or $150-200 monthly. Sunday's custom lawn plans offer a more affordable option starting at $55 per season with multiple shipments of customized fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support throughout your growing season.

      The 1/3 rule states you should 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 at a time.

      In South Carolina, you don't need a license for basic landscaping and lawn maintenance. However, if you plan to apply pesticides commercially or do landscaping projects over $5,000, you need proper licensing through the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.
