Never remove more than one-third of the grass blade in a single mow. This prevents stress on your lawn and encourages deeper root growth. Cutting too much at once weakens grass and makes it more vulnerable to weeds and disease.

Mow based on growth rate, not a fixed schedule. During peak spring and fall growth, that might mean weekly. Set your mower to its highest setting for a thicker lawn that needs less frequent cutting and retains moisture better.

Basic weekly maintenance (mowing, quick weed checks) takes most homeowners 30 to 60 minutes depending on lawn size. Seasonal tasks like fertilizing or overseeding add a few hours per season. Sunday's custom plans simplify timing by telling you exactly when to apply.

Early spring is ideal for cool-season grasses common in Falls Church. Clear debris, seed bare spots, and apply your first fertilizer when temperatures stay between 55 and 70 degrees. Fall is equally important for overseeding and building winter resilience.

Basic lawn care covers mowing, fertilizing, watering, and weed management for your turf. Landscaping involves design elements like garden beds, trees, shrubs, hardscaping, and irrigation systems. Sunday focuses on the lawn itself with custom nutrient plans for healthier grass.
