The 1/3 rule means never cutting more than one-third of your grass height in a single mowing. For Farmington Hills lawns, this prevents stress and promotes deeper root growth. If your grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut more than 1 inch off. Mow when grass is dry and use sharp blades for clean cuts. This practice helps your lawn stay green and thick while naturally crowding out weeds.

Look for a plan customized to Farmington Hills' climate and soil conditions. It should include soil testing to identify your lawn's exact needs. Choose options with products that work well in Michigan's hot summers and cold winters. Consider timing for local growing seasons - spring fertilization, summer weed control, and fall seeding. Sunday's custom plans adjust for your lawn size and local weather patterns.

Farmington Hills lawns face several challenges throughout the year. Cold winters can cause snow mold. Spring brings crabgrass and dandelions. Summer heat causes drought stress and brown patches. Heavy clay soils common in the area create drainage problems. The mix of cool and warm-season weather patterns can make timing lawn care tricky. These challenges need a year-round approach with season-specific treatments.

For a greener Farmington Hills lawn, start with a soil test to understand what nutrients your grass needs. Apply fertilizer when your lawn can best use it - typically spring and fall in Michigan. Mow high (3-3.5 inches) and follow the 1/3 rule. Water deeply but less often to encourage deep roots. Target weeds with spot treatments rather than whole-lawn applications.
