Why try Sunday Lawn Care in Moline, IL

Traditional lawn care services can cost up to $1500 yearly. Sunday custom lawn care plans start between $55-100, based on lawn size.

Sunday's approach saves most homeowners hundreds of dollars each year compared to traditional lawn services.

Effective DIY lawn care in Moline starts with proper mowing at 3-4 inches high. Water deeply but less often to encourage deep root growth. Apply Sunday fertilizer when temperatures are between 50°F and 85°F. Spot-treat weeds rather than applying weed control to your entire lawn. Test your soil to understand nutrient needs. Time your lawn care activities with the seasons.

Common lawn problems in Moline include weeds, bare patches, moss, and fungal issues. For weeds, use Sunday's Dandelion Doom or Weed & Green on sunny days. Fix bare patches with Sunday's Bare Repair. Moss thrives in shaded, moist areas - improve drainage and consider Shade Select seed mix. Fungal issues appear during hot, humid weather - reduce watering and let problem areas dry out.

Sunday's custom lawn plan makes lawn care simple. Fertilizer pouches arrive when your lawn needs them with clear instructions. Just attach the sprayer and apply in about 15-20 minutes. Mow at 3-4 inches to reduce mowing frequency to once weekly. Leave grass clippings to return nutrients to the soil. Mulch fall leaves instead of raking.

The best mowing schedule varies by season. In spring and fall, mow once weekly. During summer's peak growth (May-July), you may need to mow twice weekly. During drought, reduce mowing frequency. Mow in early morning or evening when temperatures are cooler. Adjust based on grass growth - never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade in a single mowing.

The 1/3 rule means never cutting more than one-third of your grass height at once. Following this rule helps grass develop deeper roots and grow laterally, creating a thicker lawn that naturally crowds out weeds. Cutting too much at once stresses the grass, making it more likely to brown and less able to withstand heat, drought, and pests.
