    Dover lawns average 5981.5 sq ft and feature cool-season grasses like tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass. The soil profile shows a sandy loam texture (53% sand, 37% silt, 10% clay) with slightly acidic pH of 5.85 and good organic matter at 5.03%.

    For effective lawn care in Dover, New Hampshire, consider:

    • Soil nutrients: Your soil has decent levels of key nutrients including potassium (97 ppm) and phosphorus (88.5 ppm)
    • Mowing height: Keep cool-season grasses at 3-4 inches tall during hot summer months
    • Watering needs: The sandy soil drains quickly, so water deeply but less frequently

    The sandy composition means Dover lawns may need more frequent fertilizing as nutrients wash through faster. A Sunday Custom Lawn Plan can help address these specific needs with properly timed applications.

    For best results with weed control, focus on building thick turf through proper mowing and fertilizing. Not sure about your soil quality? A Sunday soil test kit can provide detailed insights. Find more seasonal tips at The Shed.

      Dover, New Hampshire FAQs

      Professional lawn care services in Dover can cost up to $1500 per year. Sunday offers a more affordable option with custom lawn plans starting between $55-100, based on your lawn size. Each plan includes custom lawn fertilizer, a soil test kit with analysis, and unlimited access to expert Yard Advisors. You'll also get a custom application schedule timed for Dover's growing season. Many Dover homeowners save hundreds yearly by switching to Sunday's DIY approach while still getting professional-quality results.

      Early spring is the perfect time to kick off your lawn care routine in Dover. As soon as temperatures consistently reach 50°F, your cool-season grass will begin growing actively. Start by clearing winter debris and applying your first round of fertilizer. For seeding, aim for March through May when growth rates are high. Sunday's custom plans factor in Dover's specific climate timing, so your first shipment will arrive right when your lawn needs it most.

      Dover lawns face several key challenges. The hot, humid summers can stress cool-season grasses, leading to thinning and disease problems. Heavy rainfall periods create wet spots and potential fungal issues. Cold winters can cause snow mold in spring. Many Dover yards also have shaded areas where grass struggles to grow thick. Sunday's soil testing and custom nutrient plans help address these regional challenges by providing exactly what your Dover lawn needs when it needs it.

      To fix patchy spots in your Dover lawn, start with overseeding in spring (March-May) when growth rates are high. Clear the area, apply grass seed appropriate for your light conditions, and keep the soil moist until established. Sunday's Bare Repair or Shade Select seed works well for Dover's cool-season lawns. Follow with proper fertilization based on a soil test to fix underlying nutrient issues. A thick, healthy lawn naturally crowds out weeds and fills in bare spots.

      Look for a lawn care program that includes soil testing to identify your Dover lawn's specific needs. The program should offer products designed for cool-season grasses with application timing matched to Dover's climate. Choose options with safe ingredients that work with nature, not against it. Sunday's custom plans include all this plus expert guidance from Yard Advisors who can help with Dover's specific challenges like summer heat stress, heavy rainfall periods, and shaded areas.
