Why try Sunday Lawn Care in Gladstone, OR

Early spring is the ideal time to start lawn care in Gladstone, typically March to April when temperatures consistently reach above 50°F. This timing allows you to prepare your lawn as the growing season begins. Apply your first fertilizer application once the soil has thawed and your grass shows signs of active growth. Sunday's custom lawn plans deliver products right when your Gladstone lawn needs them throughout the growing season.

Cool-season grasses work best in Gladstone's climate. Kentucky Bluegrass offers excellent green color and good recovery from damage. Perennial Ryegrass provides quick establishment and good wear tolerance. Fescue varieties, especially Fine Fescue, perform well in shady areas common in Oregon yards. Sunday's soil testing can help determine which grass type matches your specific yard conditions for a healthier, more resilient lawn.

For moss control in Gladstone's damp climate, Sunday's Dandelion Doom or Weed & Green products work effectively without harming your grass. Moss can also be scraped away manually since it lacks deep roots. Reduce shade and improve drainage for long-term control. For dandelions and other broadleaf weeds, apply Sunday's weed control products on sunny days when weeds are actively growing. Follow up with regular fertilization to promote thick grass that naturally crowds out weeds.

During Gladstone's dry summer months, water deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth. Apply about 1-1.5 inches of water per week, ideally in 2-3 sessions rather than daily light watering. Water in the early morning (before 10 AM) to reduce evaporation and fungal disease risk. Adjust based on rainfall and temperature. Your lawn may need more water during heat waves and less during cooler periods.
