      Mundelein, Illinois FAQs

      Traditional lawn care services in Mundelein can cost up to $1500 per year. Sunday offers more affordable custom lawn care plans starting between $55-100, based on lawn size and plan. Sunday plans include custom fertilizer, soil testing, weed and seed options, expert advice, and personalized schedules. Choosing Sunday can save Mundelein homeowners hundreds of dollars yearly while maintaining a beautiful lawn.

      Choose a lawn care approach tailored to your Mundelein yard. Start with a soil test to understand your lawn's needs. Consider your goals like fixing bare patches, controlling weeds, or maintaining healthy grass. Sunday's Custom Lawn Plan uses local climate data and soil information to create a personalized plan. This approach helps you work with nature for better results with less effort and less environmental impact.

      Focus on three core practices: proper mowing, smart watering, and timely fertilizing. Mow at 3-4 inches high to promote deeper roots. Water deeply but infrequently, about 1 inch per week during growing season. Apply fertilizer based on seasonal timing, with spring and fall applications being crucial for Mundelein's climate. Add overseeding and spot weed control to maintain a thick lawn.

      Start with a soil test to identify your lawn's specific needs. Apply Sunday fertilizer at the right times throughout the growing season. Mow high (3-4 inches) and leave grass clippings to return nutrients to soil. Water deeply in early morning. Fill bare spots with grass seed to crowd out weeds. Use targeted spot treatments for weeds rather than whole-lawn applications.

      A complete lawn care plan should include seasonal fertilization tailored to your soil, proper mowing at 3-4 inches, and deep watering. Add targeted weed control, overseeding, and solutions for specific issues like shade or high-traffic areas. Sunday's Custom Lawn Plan provides all these elements with a soil test, personalized nutrients, and local climate-based application schedules.

      Sunday offers convenient DIY solutions perfect for busy Mundelein homeowners. Their custom plans deliver everything to your door with clear instructions.
