    I have a very small

    I have a very small yard that had very little grass. I tried sod. It died. I decided to try the Sunday lawn program and I have a complete yard of lawn. I started last year and got good results. All of my front lawn was great back still needed help. I continued with Sunday and I now have grass in my backyard. I’m very happy with the results!! I’d recommend it to everyone

      Germantown, Maryland FAQs

      Traditional lawn care services can cost homeowners in Germantown up to $1500 yearly. Sunday offers a more affordable alternative with custom lawn plans starting at $80, depending on your lawn size. Sunday plans include custom fertilizer formulas, a soil test kit with expert analysis, and unlimited access to Yard Advisors. You'll save hundreds each year while getting a greener lawn.

      DIY lawn care with Sunday is perfect for busy Germantown families. Sunday delivers customized lawn products right to your door with clear instructions and application timing specific to your lawn. The products are designed with safety in mind for kids and pets, and applications take just minutes. You can maintain a beautiful lawn without the time commitment of traditional lawn care.

      For your Germantown yard, look for a lawn care program that uses local climate and soil data to create a customized plan. The program should include soil testing to address specific nutrient needs of your lawn. Choose products with ingredients that break down quickly and are safe for families and pets. Focus on building soil health for long-term lawn strength rather than quick fixes.

      To get a healthier Germantown lawn without harsh chemicals, focus on building soil health first. Use a soil test to identify exactly what your lawn needs. Apply nutrients that work with nature and break down quickly. Sunday's lawn care plans use ingredients you can pronounce, many used by organic farmers. Follow good lawn practices like proper mowing height and watering deeply but less frequently.

      Germantown lawns often face summer heat stress, fungal diseases in humid weather, and weeds like crabgrass. Water deeply in early morning hours to prevent disease. Mow at the proper height to reduce stress. For crabgrass, apply pre-emergent weed control in early spring. Sunday's Weed & Green is effective for this purpose. Address brown patches quickly, as they could signal fungal disease or pest problems.

      The best time to start a lawn care plan in Germantown is early spring, as soon as your grass starts actively growing. For cool-season lawns common in Maryland, this is typically March or April. Starting early lets you address soil nutrition and control spring weeds before they establish. Sunday times your first shipment based on your local climate for optimal results.
