    Decided to get Sunday.com after moving to a new house and seeing the lawn we had was definitely neglected and not well taken care of. Within applying Sunday's liquid fertilizers, we were able to see great results in the first couple weeks and throughout the summer. While other lawns in the neighborhood would go brown or do not as well, ours stayed green during of the summer!

      Meridian, Idaho FAQs

      Here are key lawn care tips for Meridian, ID:

      • Mow Kentucky bluegrass and fescue at 2.5-3 inches high
      • Water deeply 1-2 times per week, about 1-1.5 inches total
      • Fertilize 4-5 times during growing season (March-October)
      • Overseed in early fall (September-October)
      • Control weeds in spring and fall
      • Aerate compacted soil in spring or fall
      • Let grass clippings remain on lawn as natural fertilizer
      • Adjust watering based on rainfall and temperature

      Water your lawn 2-3 times per week in early morning, providing 1/2 inch of water per session. During peak summer heat (July-August), you may need to water 3-4 times per week. Adjust frequency based on rainfall and temperature. Use a tuna can to measure water depth.

      For Meridian's climate, the best grass types are Kentucky bluegrass and fine fescue blends. These cool-season grasses handle the area's cold winters and hot summers well. Tall fescue can also work well, especially in partially shaded areas. Plant these grasses in early fall for best results.

      Here's how to maintain a healthy lawn in Meridian, ID:

      1. Test soil pH and nutrients annually to guide fertilization
      2. Follow a consistent mowing schedule, never removing more than 1/3 blade length
      3. Control thatch through regular raking and proper mowing height
      4. Apply fertilizer based on soil test results during key growth periods
      5. Address weeds promptly through spot treatment rather than blanket applications
      6. Monitor for signs of disease or pest issues, especially during humid periods
      7. Reduce watering in shaded areas to prevent fungal growth
      8. Maintain sharp mower blades to prevent turf damage

      These practices align with Sunday's approach of working with nature while minimizing environmental impact. Sunday's customized plans factor in Meridian's climate and soil conditions to optimize lawn health sustainably.

      The 1/3 rule means never cut off more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. This prevents stress on the grass and maintains healthy growth. For example, if your grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut off more than 1 inch.

      When choosing lawn care in Meridian, consider these key factors:

      • DIY vs professional service based on your time and expertise
      • Local climate knowledge and customized treatment plans
      • Cost-effective options like Sunday's custom plans starting at $55
      • Environmentally responsible practices and products
      • Reliable customer support and expert guidance

      Sunday offers personalized lawn care plans with convenient delivery, soil testing, and expert support - typically more affordable than traditional services while promoting sustainable practices.

      The most cost-effective lawn maintenance in Meridian combines smart DIY practices with targeted product use:

      1. Mow regularly at proper height, leaving clippings as free fertilizer
      2. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep roots
      3. Use a soil test to apply only needed nutrients
      4. Choose drought-resistant grass varieties
      5. Practice integrated pest management instead of preventive treatments

      Professional lawn care services in Meridian typically cost $45-75 per visit for basic mowing and maintenance, or $150-200 monthly for full-service care. Sunday's customized plans start at $55 per season and provide targeted nutrients, soil testing, and expert guidance - making it a cost-effective alternative while promoting sustainable practices.
