      Decatur, Alabama FAQs

      Sunday custom lawn care plans start between $55-100, varying by lawn size. Plans include custom fertilizer, soil testing, and expert advice from Yard Advisors. Traditional lawn services can cost up to $1500/year, while Sunday saves you hundreds. You get products made with better ingredients and a plan designed for Decatur's climate and your soil, all delivered to your door.

      Look for services that test your soil and create plans for Decatur's specific climate. Choose options with products safe for kids and pets. The service should provide custom application schedules suited to warm-season grasses common in Alabama. Sunday uses data about your yard to create personalized plans with the right products at the right time for your lawn.

      For Decatur's warm-season lawns, start in early spring. Begin with a soil test in March. Apply your first fertilizer when soil warms to 65°F as grass exits winter dormancy. For bermudagrass, the most common type in Decatur, this timing helps build strong roots. Sunday's custom plans provide the right products timed perfectly for your Decatur lawn's growing cycle.

      First, complete a soil test to know exactly what your lawn needs. Next, identify your grass type - most Decatur lawns have bermudagrass. Apply fertilizer made for your soil and grass. Water deeply but not too often. Mow at the right height for your grass type and establish a regular mowing schedule. Sunday's soil test kit makes this first step easy.

      Lawn care involves treatments that boost lawn health - fertilization, weed control, and seeding based on your soil and grass type. Lawn maintenance covers routine tasks like mowing, watering, and cleaning debris. In Decatur's hot climate, both matter. Sunday focuses on lawn care with custom plans while providing guidance on maintenance practices for your specific grass type.
