      New Bedford lawns follow a cool-season schedule. Spring (March-May) is for fertilizing and weed prevention. Summer calls for proper watering and taller mowing heights. Fall (August-October) is prime time for seeding and fertilizing again. Winter requires minimal care as grass goes dormant. Sunday's custom plan times deliveries perfectly for your New Bedford lawn's growth cycle, taking the guesswork out of scheduling.

      Choose lawn care based on your grass type, soil health, and specific challenges in New Bedford. Most homes have cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass or fescues. Start with a soil test to understand your lawn's specific needs. Sunday's custom plans use your location data, lawn size, and soil test results to create a tailored approach for your unique New Bedford yard conditions.

      New Bedford residents should avoid cutting grass too short, which stresses cool-season lawns. Don't overwater, as the humid eastern climate can encourage lawn diseases. Avoid applying fertilizer during summer heat when grass is stressed. Don't wait until weeds take over to address them. Sunday's custom plans help prevent these mistakes by providing the right products at the right times for your specific New Bedford lawn.

      For a healthy New Bedford lawn, seed in early fall when cool-season grasses thrive. Mow at proper heights between 2.5 and 3.5 inches to promote deep roots. Water deeply but infrequently to build drought tolerance. Remove leaves and debris to prevent lawn diseases common in the humid East. Sunday's custom plans deliver products timed specifically for your New Bedford growing season, supporting your lawn through each seasonal change.

      Lawn care in New Bedford typically involves seasonal fertilization, weed control, proper mowing and watering practices. For cool-season grasses common in Massachusetts, spring care includes clearing debris and early fertilization. Summer requires proper watering during dry spells.
