      Olathe, Kansas FAQs

      The average cost of professional lawn care services in Olathe ranges from $45-75 per visit for basic mowing and $175-300 per application for full-service treatments. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season and include fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support - making it a more affordable option than traditional services.

      When choosing lawn care in Olathe, consider these key factors:

      1. Climate-specific care for hot summers and cold winters
      2. Regular fertilization schedule aligned with cool-season grasses
      3. Targeted weed control for common Kansas weeds
      4. Professional soil testing to address unique clay soil challenges
      5. Drought-resistant grass varieties suited for Kansas weather

      Sunday's customized plans account for Olathe's specific climate and soil conditions, providing personalized lawn care solutions delivered to your door throughout the growing season.

      A comprehensive lawn care program in Olathe should include:

      • Spring fertilization (March-April)
      • Regular mowing at 3-4 inches height
      • Weed control for dandelions and crabgrass
      • Summer fertilization and pest management
      • Fall fertilization and overseeding (September-October)
      • Regular watering, about 1 inch per week
      • Soil testing to check nutrient levels

      The key is timing applications with Olathe's climate - hot summers and cold winters - while maintaining proper mowing height for cool-season grasses common in Kansas.

      Professional lawn care can be worth it in Olathe if you want expert guidance but don't have time to research and implement proper lawn care practices. Sunday offers a more affordable alternative to traditional services while providing customized nutrients, soil testing, and unlimited expert support to help you maintain a healthy lawn yourself.

      For cool-season grasses common in Olathe, mow when grass reaches 3.5-4 inches, typically every 5-7 days during peak growing seasons (spring and fall) and every 7-10 days in summer. Maintain a 3-inch height to help grass stay resilient during hot Kansas summers.

      The 1/3 rule states you should never cut off more than one-third of the grass blade height in a single mowing. This helps maintain grass health by preventing shock and stress. For example, if your grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut off more than 1 inch.

      Here's how to maintain a healthy lawn in Olathe:

      1. Water deeply but infrequently (1-1.5 inches per week) in early morning
      2. Fertilize based on soil test results and seasonal needs
      3. Keep mowing height at 3-3.5 inches
      4. Control weeds through spot treatment
      5. Aerate in spring or fall to reduce soil compaction
      6. Overseed thin areas in early fall
      7. Remove no more than 1/3 of grass height when mowing
      8. Clean up leaves and debris promptly

      Sustainable lawn care in Olathe provides several benefits:

      1. Water conservation during hot Kansas summers
      2. Reduced chemical runoff into local waterways
      3. Better soil health leading to more resilient grass
      4. Lower maintenance costs through efficient nutrient use
      5. Healthier environment for people, pets and pollinators
