    Durango, CO lawns average 1927 sq ft and feature cool-season grasses like tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass. The soil in this Colorado city has a basic pH of 7.5 with good organic matter (5.28%) and a sandy loam texture (49% sand, 34% silt, 16% clay).

    Sunday lawn care for Durango homes should focus on:

    • Watering practices: The sandy soil drains quickly, requiring more frequent watering during dry periods
    • Fertilizing schedule: Soil has adequate potassium (340 ppm) but may need nitrogen for cool-season grasses
    • Soil management: The high calcium levels (3357 ppm) contribute to the alkaline pH

    Cool-season grasses in Durango benefit from fall fertilization when they actively grow. The soil's good iron content (138 ppm) helps maintain green color, but the high pH may limit nutrient availability.

      Durango, Colorado FAQs

      Start your Durango lawn care in mid to late spring once soil temperatures warm up and your grass shows signs of growth. This is typically late April to early May in Durango's high-altitude climate. Sunday custom plans are timed to your specific growing season based on your location's climate data. Early tasks include cleaning up winter debris, soil testing, and applying your first round of Sunday nutrients as the grass greens up.

      Durango lawns often face challenges like drought stress, brown patches, fungal diseases, and weed invasions. The high altitude and temperature swings can cause lawn stress. Fungal issues like brown patch may appear during humid summer periods. Weeds like dandelions and clover can take hold in thin areas. Sunday's soil testing helps identify specific issues in your lawn, while our custom nutrients build resilience against these common Durango lawn problems.

      Water your Durango lawn deeply but less frequently to promote deep root growth. In this high-altitude, semi-arid climate, aim for 1-2 weekly waterings during summer, applying about 1 inch of water each time. Morning watering (5-9 AM) minimizes evaporation. Sunday's custom lawn plans account for your local climate, helping your grass adapt to Durango's conditions while avoiding overwatering or underwatering.

      DIY lawn care works great in Durango when you have the right plan. Sunday makes it simple with custom nutrients tailored to your lawn's specific needs and Durango's unique climate. Our soil test kit helps identify exactly what your lawn needs. With Sunday's easy-to-follow instructions and application schedules, you can maintain a healthy lawn yourself without guesswork. Plus, our Yard Advisor team is available for unlimited support.

      Sunday designed its products with safety in mind for Durango families. Our nutrients use ingredients you can pronounce, many used by organic farmers. Products dry quickly and don't persist in the environment. After application and drying, kids and pets can safely return to the lawn. Sunday's approach focuses on building soil health naturally rather than using harsh chemicals, making your Durango lawn a safer place for the whole family.

      For Durango lawns, fertilize when your grass is actively growing, typically May through September. Sunday creates a custom schedule based on your lawn's specific needs and Durango's shorter growing season. Our plans typically include 3-4 nutrient applications per year, precisely timed for your climate. Each shipment arrives exactly when your lawn needs it, with simple instructions for application. This approach gives your grass the right nutrients at the right time.
