Traditional lawn care services can run up to $1,500 per year. Sunday's custom plans start at $55 for your first box and include a free soil analysis, personalized nutrient schedule, and expert consultations. Most homeowners save hundreds compared to conventional services.

Lawn care focuses on grass health through fertilizing, mowing, watering, and weed management. Landscaping covers broader design work like planting trees, shrubs, flower beds, and hardscaping. Think of lawn care as maintaining what's already growing, while landscaping shapes the overall yard.

Apply fertilizer when temperatures stay between 50°F and 85°F and grass is actively growing. For cool-season lawns common in Medford, spring and fall are ideal windows. Wait until your lawn is at least 60% greened up before that first application.

Never cut more than one-third of your grass height at a time. Removing too much stresses the plant and weakens roots. This simple rule helps grow thicker turf that crowds out weeds naturally and bounces back faster from summer heat.

Cool-season grasses like fescue, bluegrass, and ryegrass thrive in Medford's climate. For shadier spots, fine fescue varieties handle low light well. Your location, sun exposure, and water availability matter more than specific soil details when choosing seed.

DIY with a custom plan instead of hiring services. Grasscycle by leaving clippings to add free nutrients. Water deeply but less often to build drought-resistant roots. Overseed thin areas to crowd out weeds naturally, reducing the need for extra products.
