    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!

      Metairie, Louisiana FAQs

      For Metairie lawns:

      • Mow St. Augustine or Bermuda grass at 2.5-3 inches height
      • Water deeply 1-2 times per week, about 1 inch total
      • Fertilize every 6-8 weeks during growing season (March-October)
      • Control weeds through spot treatment rather than blanket application
      • Maintain higher grass in shaded areas
      • Core aerate in spring to improve drainage in clay soils
      • Overseed thin areas in fall with climate-appropriate grass varieties

      Best times for lawn care activities are early morning or early evening to avoid peak heat. Adjust practices during periods of extreme heat or heavy rainfall.

      Water your Metairie lawn deeply 1-2 times per week, providing about 1 inch of water total. Water early morning between 4-10 AM to minimize evaporation and fungal growth. During summer heat waves, you may need to increase to 2-3 times per week.

      Professional lawn care services in Metairie typically cost $45-75 per visit for basic mowing and maintenance. Full-service annual programs range from $800-1,500. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 with multiple shipments throughout the growing season, offering a more affordable DIY alternative with expert guidance.

      Here are key maintenance tips for Metairie lawns:

      • Test soil and apply balanced fertilizer based on results
      • Remove no more than 1/3 grass blade length when mowing
      • Dethatch if thatch exceeds 1/2 inch thick
      • Watch for signs of fungal disease during humid periods
      • Leave grass clippings to return nutrients to soil
      • Keep mower blades sharp for clean cuts

      These practices support healthy root growth and disease resistance while working with your local climate.

      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, maintains healthy growth, and reduces the risk of scalping. Mow regularly to maintain proper height without removing too much at once.

      For Metairie's climate, the best warm-season grass options are St. Augustine and Bermuda grass. St. Augustine tolerates shade and humidity but needs good drainage. Bermuda grass handles full sun and heavy traffic but requires more maintenance. Consider your yard's sun exposure, drainage, and foot traffic when choosing.

      Here are eco-friendly lawn care tips for Metairie:

      • Use rainwater collection systems to conserve water
      • Mulch grass clippings to naturally feed your lawn
      • Choose drought-resistant grass varieties
      • Spot treat weeds instead of blanket applications
      • Maintain proper mowing height to shade soil and reduce water needs
      • Time fertilizer applications with natural growth cycles
      • Use soil testing to apply only needed nutrients

      These practices reduce environmental impact while maintaining a healthy lawn.

      Here are practical ways to reduce lawn care costs in Metairie:

      • Switch to DIY lawn care with a customized plan rather than hiring services
      • Mow your own lawn and maintain proper height to reduce water needs
      • Water deeply but infrequently to promote deep root growth
      • Use soil testing to apply only needed nutrients
      • Spot treat weeds instead of whole lawn treatments
      • Mulch grass clippings back into lawn for natural fertilization

      A Sunday custom lawn plan starts at $55 and includes fertilizer, soil testing, and expert guidance - significantly less than traditional services costing $800-1,500 annually.
