    Best customer service and great products!

    Before even applying the products I ordered from Sunday I was impressed. With their customer service alone.

Since applying a couple of their products our very sad grass is being brought to life! I will be reordering every season from Sunday!

      How to grow grass in Modesto, California

      Most common grass type(s) in Modesto, CA Cool-season grasses
      Best way to grow grass in Modesto, CA Seeding is the most effective method for establishing cool-season grasses
      Recommended grass species for Modesto, CA lawns Tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass
      When to start growing grass in Modesto, CA Spring seeding is best from March 28 to April 26 and fall seeding is best from October 1 to October 22

      Growing a beautiful lawn in Modesto, California starts with choosing the right grass type. Cool-season grasses like tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass perform best in this Central Valley climate.

      For lawn care in Modesto, seeding is the most effective establishment method. Timing matters significantly:

      • Spring seeding window: March 28 to April 26
      • Fall seeding window: October 1 to October 22

      These specific periods take advantage of Modesto's moderate temperatures when cool-season grasses establish most successfully. The fall window is often ideal as seedlings face less competition from weeds and have more time to develop strong root systems before summer heat arrives.

      When planning your Sunday custom lawn care plan, consider that proper soil preparation helps seeds make good contact with the soil. Use Sunday premium grass seed varieties suited for Modesto's conditions.

      Not sure which grass type fits your yard? Try Sunday's Seed Finder Tool to match your lawn conditions with the perfect seed. For step-by-step instructions on growing grass in your Modesto lawn, check out Sunday's how to grow grass guide or browse seed guides in The Shed for expert advice.
