    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.

      Lake Zurich, Illinois FAQs

      Traditional lawn care services in Lake Zurich can cost up to $1500 per year. Sunday offers a more affordable option with custom lawn plans starting at $80, varying based on lawn size. Plans include custom fertilizer, a soil test kit, expert analysis, and access to Yard Advisors. Everything is delivered to your door when needed. Sunday customers save hundreds each year compared to traditional services while getting a greener lawn.

      Many Lake Zurich homeowners water their lawns too often or at the wrong time. Another mistake is applying fertilizer during extreme temperatures – Sunday recommends applying between 50°F and 85°F. Mowing too short stresses grass and creates room for weeds to grow. Using generic, one-size-fits-all products ignores your lawn's specific needs. Lastly, failing to test your soil means you might miss important nutrient deficiencies.

      Visit Sunday's website and enter your Lake Zurich address. Sunday uses mapping tools to estimate your lawn size and local climate data to create your plan. You can adjust the lawn size if needed. Sunday offers liquid plans for lawns 500-13,499 sq ft and granular plans for larger lawns. Your first shipment includes a soil test kit that further customizes your plan based on your exact soil needs.

      Sunday's custom lawn plan is perfect for busy Lake Zurich homeowners. Your plan comes with clearly timed shipments throughout the growing season. Each box contains exactly what you need when you need it – no guessing or extra store trips. Application is quick with their easy-to-use sprayer for liquid nutrients or simple spreading for granular options. Sunday handles the science so you can enjoy your yard.

      Sunday designs products with safety in mind for Lake Zurich families. Their ingredients break down quickly and don't stick around in the environment. After products dry, kids and pets can return to the lawn. Sunday uses ingredients you can pronounce, many used by organic farmers, avoiding harsh chemicals found in traditional products. They also offer specific products like Pet Patch to fix dog spots in your lawn.

      Lake Zurich's climate features cold winters and warm summers, making it ideal for cool-season grasses. This means your lawn will grow most actively in spring and fall, with potential slowdown during summer heat. Your watering needs will change throughout the season. Sunday's custom plans account for Lake Zurich's specific weather patterns and soil conditions, with products and timing optimized for your local growing season.
