Why try Sunday Lawn Care in Phoenix, AZ

The best warm-season grasses for Phoenix's hot climate are Bermuda grass and hybrid Bermuda grass. These varieties thrive in full sun, handle high temperatures well, and stay green during summer months. For shaded areas, consider Malibu or St. Augustine grass, which offer better shade tolerance.

Professional lawn care services in Phoenix typically cost $50-100 per visit or $150-300 monthly. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season and include fertilizer, optional weed control, grass seed, pest control, and expert support - delivered right to your door when your lawn needs it most.

To maintain a lawn affordably in Phoenix:

• Mow at proper height (3-4 inches) to promote deep roots
• Water deeply but infrequently in early morning
• Use Sunday's customized fertilizer plan starting at $55/season
• Spot treat weeds rather than whole-lawn treatments
• Keep grass slightly longer in summer to retain moisture and reduce water needs

Professional lawn care in Phoenix can be worth it if you want expert guidance and convenience, but it's not essential. The extreme heat and unique soil conditions make proper timing of fertilizer and water crucial. Sunday's customized plans offer professional-grade results at a lower cost than traditional services, while providing expert support when you need it.

The average annual cost to maintain grass in Phoenix ranges from $800-2,000 for professional services. Key expenses include regular fertilization ($200-400/year), weed control ($150-300/year), and higher water bills during summer months ($300-600 extra annually). Sunday's customized lawn plans offer a more affordable option starting at $55 per season.

The 1/3 rule means never cut off more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. This maintains grass health by preventing shock to the plant, keeping moisture levels balanced, and promoting deeper root growth. Following this rule helps create a more resilient lawn.
