Hot, Rainless Summer
We didn’t get much rain during the Summer months in the Chicagoland area. Added this to the lawn to help it survive the heat and it worked great. Everyone else on the block had a dry crispy lawn and ours stayed green and healthy.

Happy I fired my lawn care company!
My first year owning a house we had a lawn care company apply treatments to the lawn. I hated that I didn’t know when they would show up and that they applied pre-emergent just before I wanted to do some patch repair. I love that with Get Sunday I get to control when I apply treatments so that the chemicals don’t go on the lawn right before I want to play out there with my kids. It’s easy, fast, gives me the control I want, and they have great customer service. Recommend it!

So far so good! I switched from a local company doing my lawn care to Sunday. It’s easy and convenient. Grass looks good. It’s tricky because our backyard is in mostly shade.
