Sunday Lawn Works!
The smart lawn plan really helped my grass grow during the hot New Orleans summer. My grass was newly installed for a couple of months when I signed up for the plan in fall of 2020 and it has stayed green and lush throughout the entire year. The instructions are easy to use and the system in which the bags get sent based on the soil data is very precise. The ingredients have given me a lawn to be proud of 24/7!
