Sunday has been a really great way to take care of our lawn this past year. Ordering the product was easy. This lawn was completely re-seeded with 70-yards of fresh loam in 2021. It didn't look great at the end of last year. Sunday helped it fill in and defy a nasty drought this past summer with no watering. While other peoples lawns were turning brown, our yard was holding on and I think Sunday had a lot to do with it. I'm really pleased with the approach of the products, the ease of use and the results.

My lawn is looking good. There are still a lot of dandelions spreading throughout the lawn but I just received the container and electric sprayer to use with the container of dandelion doom that I have. I certainly have seen an improvement and I would say my number of stars should really be 4 1/2.

Kittery, Maine FAQs

Early spring is ideal to begin lawn care in Kittery when temperatures reach 50-80°F. March to May is perfect for first fertilization and weed prevention. Late August through early October works well for fall care, great for seeding before winter. Sunday's custom lawn plans time shipments perfectly for Kittery's growing season.

For Kittery's cool climate, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, and fine fescue work best. Kentucky bluegrass offers classic beauty with good cold tolerance. Fine fescues excel in shady areas common in Maine. Sunday offers seed mixes like Shade Select for low-light areas, perfectly suited to Kittery's conditions.

Fertilize Kittery lawns every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Cool-season grasses in Maine benefit from more feeding in spring and fall when they grow most actively. Sunday's custom lawn plans deliver nutrients timed specifically for Kittery's climate, with shipments arriving when your lawn needs them.

Kittery gets enough rainfall for healthy grass most of the year. Water deeply 1-2 times weekly during dry summer periods, about 1 inch each time. Water in early morning to reduce disease risk. Watch for drought signs like bluish-gray color. Sunday builds soil health to improve water retention naturally.

Kittery lawns face heat stress during humid summers, heavy rainfall causing wet spots, shade from Maine's trees, winter dormancy, and regional pests. Maine's acidic soil can limit nutrient availability. Sunday's soil testing helps identify these challenges and provides solutions, including shade-tolerant seed and region-specific nutrients.

Sunday designs products with safety in mind, using ingredients that break down quickly. After liquid products dry or granular products break down, family and pets can resume yard activities. Sunday avoids harsh chemicals and uses ingredients you can pronounce. This creates a healthier Kittery lawn that's safer for kids and pets.
