    A great lawn all 7 days of the week

    Sunday has been fantastic for my lawn. I have a small yard but my family loves to spend time outside, so it's important to have thick, healthy grass and Sunday has made that possible. Application is super easy and it's nice to know that everything is pet and people friendly.
