      Plymouth, Massachusetts FAQs

      Here are key lawn care tips for Plymouth, MA:

      Spring (March-May):

      • Clear winter debris and gently rake
      • Test soil pH and apply nutrients based on results
      • Overseed thin areas when soil temps reach 50°F
      • Begin mowing when grass reaches 3 inches, maintain at 2.5-3 inches

      Summer (June-August):

      • Water deeply 1-2 times per week, about 1 inch total
      • Mow regularly, never removing more than 1/3 blade length
      • Spot treat weeds when temperatures are below 85°F
      • Leave grass clippings to return nutrients to soil

      Fall (September-November):

      • Continue mowing until growth stops
      • Overseed bare patches in early fall
      • Remove fallen leaves promptly
      • Apply final fertilizer application by early November

      Winter (December-February):

      • Avoid walking on frozen grass
      • Clear heavy snow to prevent mold
      • Service lawn equipment
      • Plan next season's care strategy

      These guidelines align with Plymouth's coastal climate and growing season while promoting lawn health through sustainable practices.

      Mow when grass reaches 3-4 inches tall, typically every 5-7 days during peak growing season (May-September) and less frequently in spring and fall. Keep grass height at 2.5-3 inches, never removing more than 1/3 of blade length in a single mowing.

      The best time for core lawn care tasks in Plymouth, MA is early spring through late fall. Focus fertilizing efforts in spring (April-May) when soil temperatures reach 55°F and again in fall (September-October). The moderate temperatures and natural rainfall during these periods support optimal grass growth and nutrient absorption.

      For a healthy Plymouth lawn:

      • Water early morning, 1-2 times weekly totaling 1 inch
      • Test soil and apply appropriate nutrients
      • Keep mower blades sharp and cut grass at 2.5-3 inches
      • Address weeds promptly with targeted spot treatments
      • Overseed thin areas in early fall
      • Remove leaves and debris regularly
      • Let grass clippings decompose naturally

      These practices promote deep root growth and natural resilience while minimizing environmental impact.

      Common lawn pests in Plymouth include grubs, chinch bugs, and sod webworms. To manage these:

      • Monitor for brown patches and damaged grass roots
      • Maintain proper mowing height at 2.5-3 inches
      • Water deeply but infrequently to discourage pest habitat
      • Consider Sunday's pest control products for targeted treatment
      • Address issues promptly to prevent spread

      Professional lawn care services in Plymouth typically cost $45-75 per visit for a standard 1/4 acre lot. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season and include fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support - making it a more cost-effective option compared to traditional services that can exceed $800 annually.

      The 1/3 rule means never cut more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. This promotes healthier grass by preventing shock to the plant and maintaining enough leaf surface for photosynthesis. For example, if grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut below 2 inches.

      A lawn care service in Plymouth can be costly, averaging $45-75 per visit or $800+ annually. Sunday's custom lawn plans offer a more affordable alternative starting at $55 per season, while giving you control over your lawn care with personalized products, soil testing, and expert support to achieve professional results.
