Lone Tree, CO – meet custom DIY lawn care

Lone Tree's climate plays a big role with hot, dry summers and cold winters. The high elevation means more UV exposure for your grass. Local soil tends to be clay-heavy and can lack key nutrients. Water restrictions impact watering schedules. These factors all affect when to fertilize, water, and seed your lawn. Sunday's custom plans account for your climate, soil type, and local weather patterns.

Focus on proper watering—deep but infrequent—to build strong roots. Mow at the right height (3-4 inches) to help grass withstand Colorado's intense sun. Use custom fertilizers that match your soil's needs, based on a soil test. Add iron-rich nutrients to boost green color quickly. In thin areas, overseed with drought-resistant grass types. Sunday's soil test and nutrient pouches are designed to address these specific needs.

Many Lone Tree homeowners cut grass too short, which stresses it during hot, dry periods. Watering too frequently but shallowly leads to weak root systems. Using the wrong fertilizer without knowing soil needs wastes money and resources. Applying products at the wrong time of year reduces their effectiveness. Treating all lawn problems the same way instead of identifying specific issues also leads to poor results.

Know your grass type—Kentucky bluegrass and fescue mixes are common in Lone Tree. Water deeply but less often to build drought tolerance. Test your soil to learn what nutrients you need. Time your lawn care with the seasons—spring fertilizing, summer watering adjustments, fall seeding. Use products designed for Colorado's climate. Sunday's custom plans take the guesswork out with right-timed shipments and application guidance.

For brown spots from drought, adjust watering and use drought-resistant seed. Combat weeds by maintaining thicker grass through proper mowing and feeding. For pet damage, use spot treatments designed for pet urine. Address soil compaction in high-traffic areas with proper soil amendments. Sunday offers targeted solutions for these common issues, including pet spot treatments and weed control options suitable for Colorado.
