Choose a lawn care approach that considers Elk Grove's hot, dry summers and your specific yard conditions. Start with a soil test to understand what nutrients your lawn actually needs. Sunday creates custom plans based on your lawn size, local climate, and soil data rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Look for products with ingredients you can pronounce that work with nature, not against it. Consider your lawn goals, budget, and how much time you want to spend on maintenance.

For a healthy Elk Grove lawn, water deeply but less often to encourage deep root growth. Mow at the proper height, cutting only one-third of the grass blade each time. Leave grass clippings on your lawn to recycle nutrients naturally. Apply fertilizer when your grass is actively growing between 50°F and 85°F. Spot-treat weeds rather than using blanket applications. Monitor for signs of heat stress during hot summer months and adjust your care routine seasonally.

Early spring is ideal to start a lawn care program in Elk Grove, as your grass awakens from winter dormancy. This timing allows you to strengthen your lawn before summer heat stress hits. Apply pre-emergent weed control in early spring to prevent summer weeds. Fall is another key time for fertilizing and overseeding in Elk Grove's climate. Sunday's custom plans deliver products at the right times throughout your growing season based on your local climate data.

Elk Grove lawns often face drought stress from hot, dry summers and water restrictions. Combat this with deep, infrequent watering and drought-tolerant grass varieties.
