Sunday custom lawn plans start at $55 for your first box and can save you hundreds compared to traditional services that run up to $1,500 yearly. Your price depends on lawn size and any add-ons you choose. Every plan includes a free soil test and expert support.

Lawn service typically means hiring pros to mow, trim, and maintain your yard. Lawn care focuses on feeding and nurturing the grass itself through fertilization, soil health, and weed management. Sunday handles the care side with custom nutrient plans shipped to your door.

Never cut more than one-third of your grass height at a time. This prevents stress and helps grow thicker turf that naturally crowds out weeds. Mowing on the highest setting keeps roots strong and your lawn more resilient through Philadelphia's hot summers.

Mow when grass reaches about 3 to 4 inches, typically once a week during peak growing season. Adjust based on rainfall and temperature. Leave clippings on the lawn (they break down into free nutrients) and keep blades sharp for clean cuts.

Philadelphia offers free tree programs through local urban forestry initiatives. Check with the city's Parks and Recreation department or community greening organizations for availability. Planting native varieties supports local pollinators and adds shade that helps your lawn thrive.

Several Philadelphia nonprofits and community groups provide free lawn mowing for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. Local churches and neighborhood associations sometimes coordinate volunteer mowing days. Contact your local community center or search for lawn care assistance programs in your area.
