    Moved into a new house in May with a patchy front lawn and dirt in the back. After a summer of Sunday's lawn plan, we've upgraded the front to full coverage and the back is well on its way. Next year we'll focus on weeds and details but it's off to a great start!

      Fort Wayne, Indiana FAQs

      Professional lawn care services in Fort Wayne typically cost $45-65 per visit for a standard 5,000 sq ft lawn. Annual costs range from $700-1,200 for basic mowing and fertilization. Sunday's customized lawn plans start at $55 per season, offering a more affordable option with personalized nutrients delivered to your door.

      When choosing lawn care in Fort Wayne, consider your lawn's specific needs and your budget. Key factors include the provider's expertise with cool-season grasses common in Indiana, their fertilization schedule, and ability to handle local challenges like clay soil and variable weather. Look for customized plans rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.

      Professional lawn care can be worth it in Fort Wayne if you lack time or expertise. However, DIY lawn care with customized nutrients and guidance is often more cost-effective. A custom lawn plan provides professional-grade products and expert support while saving money compared to traditional services that charge $45-65 per visit.

      The most cost-effective way to maintain a Fort Wayne lawn is DIY care with these key practices:

      • Mow high (3-3.5 inches) and leave clippings to return nutrients
      • Water deeply but infrequently (1-1.5 inches per week)
      • Apply fertilizer at key growth times (spring and fall)
      • Overseed thin areas in fall
      • Control weeds through proper mowing height and spot treatment

      Look for companies that are licensed, insured, and have positive local reviews. Request detailed quotes outlining services and pricing. Key considerations include their expertise with cool-season grasses, fertilization approach, and response to Fort Wayne's weather challenges. Consider Sunday's custom lawn plans as a more affordable alternative.

      Here are key factors to consider for lawn care in Fort Wayne:

      1. Climate expertise - Provider should understand local weather patterns and how to care for cool-season grasses through hot summers and cold winters
      2. Soil knowledge - Fort Wayne has clay-heavy soil that requires specific nutrients and care
      3. Service timing - Applications should align with grass growth cycles, typically March through November
      4. Customization - Look for tailored plans based on your specific lawn conditions rather than generic treatments
      5. Cost and value - Compare service prices and included treatments. Sunday's customized plans starting at $55 offer professional-grade products and expert support at lower costs than traditional services.
      6. Accessibility - Consider how easy it is to communicate with the provider and get support when needed

      In Fort Wayne, professional mowing services typically charge $35-50 per cut for an average-sized lawn (5,000-7,000 sq ft). Weekly mowing during peak growing season (April-October) costs around $840-1,400 annually. Prices vary based on lot size, terrain, and mowing frequency.

      Here are budget-friendly lawn care tips for Fort Wayne:

      1. Test soil before buying fertilizer to avoid wasting money on unnecessary nutrients
      2. Mow at proper height (3-3.5 inches) to promote deeper roots and natural weed control
      3. Time watering for early morning to reduce evaporation and water waste
      4. Use mulching mower to recycle grass clippings as free fertilizer
      5. Focus on fall care when grass establishes strongest roots
