      Gainesville, Virginia FAQs

      Traditional lawn care services can cost up to $1500 per year. Sunday offers a more affordable option with custom lawn care plans starting between $55-100, depending on your lawn size. Each plan includes custom lawn fertilizer, a soil test kit with expert analysis, and unlimited access to Yard Advisors. You'll also get customized application schedules tailored to Gainesville's growing season. Many homeowners save hundreds of dollars annually by switching to Sunday's DIY approach.

      Start with a soil test to understand what nutrients your lawn needs. Sunday includes this in your first shipment. Next, identify your grass type to guide proper care practices. Establish good watering habits - about 1 inch per week all at once so water reaches the roots. Set your mower at the right height and never cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade. Apply your first round of Sunday nutrients based on your customized plan timing for Gainesville's climate.

      Regular mowing at the proper height is crucial - never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade at once. Water deeply once a week rather than frequent light watering. Apply Sunday nutrients according to your custom plan schedule for Gainesville's growing season. Monitor for weeds and treat with spot applications as needed. Fill bare patches with appropriate seed or patching products. Complete your soil test to help Sunday customize future nutrient shipments to your lawn's specific needs.

      Use Sunday's custom nutrient plan designed specifically for your Gainesville lawn's needs based on soil test results. Apply fertilizer when your grass is actively growing in temperatures between 50°F and 85°F. Water deeply once weekly rather than frequent light watering. Mow at the proper height for your grass type. Fill bare patches with grass seed to create a thick lawn that naturally crowds out weeds. Consider Sunday's Grow & Renew plan for added nutrients and seed options.

      For Gainesville lawns, treatment timing should align with active grass growth periods. Sunday's custom plan provides nutrients throughout your growing season with precisely timed shipments. Each fertilizer application typically provides 4-6 weeks of growth and green-up. Your personalized My Plan page will display all recommended nutrient applications for the season. Sunday's approach focuses on giving your lawn what it needs exactly when it needs it based on Gainesville's climate patterns.

      Yes! Sunday makes DIY lawn care simple for Gainesville homeowners. Each shipment arrives right when you need it with clear instructions. The sprayer attachment makes liquid application quick and easy. You'll have unlimited access to Yard Advisors for any questions specific to your lawn. The soil test helps Sunday customize nutrients to your exact needs. Many customers find Sunday's approach saves both time and money compared to traditional lawn care services.
