    • Fall: Core aerate to reduce soil compaction in clay-heavy areas

    For effective Sunday lawn care, adjust mowing heights seasonally - taller in summer (3-4 inches) and shorter in spring and fall. The silt-dominant soil holds moisture well but may compact over time.

      Oswego, Illinois FAQs

      Professional lawn care services in Oswego can cost up to $1,500 yearly. Sunday offers a better value with custom lawn care plans starting between $55-100, based on lawn size.

      Mow at the right height, keeping grass blades about 2-3 inches tall. Use sharp mower blades to make clean cuts. Water deeply but not too often to help roots grow down.

Sunday's soil test helps find specific issues that may cause these problems.
