      Lafayette, Louisiana FAQs

      The average cost of professional lawn care in Lafayette, LA ranges from $45-75 per visit for a standard quarter-acre lot. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season and include fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support - making it a more affordable option compared to traditional services that can cost $500+ annually.

      When choosing lawn care in Lafayette's warm climate, focus on companies that understand St. Augustine and Bermuda grass needs. Look for services offering customized fertilization schedules, weed control, and proper mowing heights for these grasses. Consider both cost and expertise in managing southern lawns through hot summers and mild winters.

      The 1/3 rule states you should never cut off more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. This maintains grass health by preventing shock and stress. For example, if your grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut off more than 1 inch at a time.

      For a standard quarter-acre lawn in Lafayette, LA, expect to pay $45-75 per mow. Factors affecting cost include lawn size, terrain, obstacles, and mowing frequency. Weekly mowing is typically needed during peak growing season (March-October) and bi-weekly during slower growth periods.

      Lawn care focuses on maintaining grass health through fertilization, weed control, and soil care. It's the ongoing treatment of your lawn. Lawn service typically refers to mowing, edging, and cleanup - the regular maintenance tasks. Sunday provides lawn care products and guidance, while local companies often handle lawn service tasks.

      To calculate lawn care costs in Lafayette, measure your total lawn square footage, excluding house, driveway, and other non-grass areas. Multiply length by width of each grass section and add together. This helps determine product quantities needed and ensures accurate pricing for treatment plans.

      The most cost-effective lawn maintenance in Lafayette includes:

      • Mow regularly with a well-maintained personal mower
      • Water deeply but infrequently in early morning
      • Test soil to apply only needed nutrients
      • Use Sunday's custom lawn plan starting at $55/season instead of traditional services
      • Maintain proper mowing height for your grass type to reduce water and fertilizer needs

      In Lafayette's warm climate, mow St. Augustine grass at 3-4 inches high every 5-7 days during peak growing season (March-October) and every 10-14 days in slower periods. Mow when grass is dry and never remove more than 1/3 of blade length per cut to maintain lawn health.

      When to start growing grass in Lafayette Spring, from April 5 to May 17

      Lawn care in Lafayette, Louisiana focuses on warm-season grasses that thrive in the humid climate. The best time for grass seeding falls between early April and mid-May when soil temperatures warm up and support strong root growth.

      For the best results with your Lafayette lawn care, you have several grass options:

      • Bermudagrass - excellent heat tolerance
      • Zoysiagrass - dense growth pattern
      • Centipedegrass - low maintenance
      • St. Augustinegrass - good shade tolerance

      You can establish your lawn through:

      1. Seeding - spreading grass seed directly
      2. Sodding - laying pre-grown grass
      3. Plugging - planting small sections of grass

      When starting a new lawn or fixing bare spots, timing matters. Start your grass seed project in spring when temperatures stay consistently above 65°F. This gives your grass the best chance to establish strong roots before summer heat arrives.
