    The best grass seed

    I live in VA and the summers are rough on my front lawn. This seed has been the best product in early fall after the harsh sun! Each year it brings it back to life! Definitely recommend.

      Fairfax, Virginia FAQs

      Professional lawn care services in Fairfax, VA typically cost $45-75 per visit for a standard quarter-acre lot. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season, with multiple nutrient shipments throughout your growing season. Plans include fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support, making it a more cost-effective option than traditional services.

      When choosing lawn care in Fairfax, VA, consider these key factors:

      1. Evaluate your lawn's specific needs - soil type, grass variety, shade levels, and problem areas
      2. Compare service offerings - fertilization, weed control, seeding
      3. Check provider credentials and reviews
      4. Get detailed quotes and service schedules
      5. Understand the application methods and products used

      For DIY options, Sunday's customized plans use soil and climate data to create a tailored program for your specific lawn, with expert support throughout the growing season.

      Professional lawn care in Fairfax, VA promotes healthier grass through consistent fertilization, proper mowing heights, and targeted weed control. It saves time, prevents common mistakes, and helps maintain property values. Experts can identify and address issues early, while providing season-specific care for the region's cool-season grasses.

      In Fairfax, VA, mow your cool-season lawn every 5-7 days during peak growing seasons (spring and fall) and every 7-10 days in summer. Keep grass height between 3-4 inches and never remove more than 1/3 of the blade length in a single mowing. Mow less frequently during drought or heat stress.

      In Fairfax, VA, fertilize your cool-season lawn primarily in early fall (September) and late fall (November). Add a light spring feeding in April/May. Skip summer fertilization when grass is under heat stress. Follow application instructions carefully and avoid fertilizing before heavy rain.

      To make your Fairfax lawn greener:

      1. Test soil to identify nutrient needs
      2. Water deeply but infrequently (1-1.5 inches per week)
      3. Maintain proper mowing height (3-4 inches)
      4. Apply season-appropriate fertilizer based on soil test results
      5. Address weeds promptly to reduce competition
      6. Overseed thin areas in early fall
      7. Avoid cutting more than 1/3 of grass height when mowing

      The 1/3 rule states you should never cut off more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. This promotes healthier grass by preventing stress, maintaining proper root development, and reducing the risk of scalping. Following this rule helps create a more resilient lawn.

      Professional lawn care services in Fairfax typically cost $45-75 per visit, averaging $150-225 monthly during peak growing season. Sunday's custom lawn plans offer a more affordable option starting at $55 per season, with costs spread across multiple shipments of customized nutrients and products.
