      Raleigh, North Carolina FAQs

      Professional lawn care services in Raleigh typically cost $45-75 per visit for a standard quarter-acre lot. Sunday's custom lawn plans start at $55 per season, with multiple nutrient shipments throughout the growing season. This includes custom fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support - making it more cost-effective than traditional services.

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

      1. Identify your lawn's specific needs - weeds, bare spots, or general maintenance
      2. Compare service types - DIY vs professional services
      3. Review warm-season grass expertise, as Raleigh lawns typically have Bermuda, Zoysia, or Centipede
      4. Evaluate pricing structure and included services
      5. Check scheduling flexibility during peak growing months

      A customized approach with regular fertilization and proper timing is essential for Raleigh's climate and growing season.

      The 1/3 rule means never cut more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. For example, if your grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut more than 1 inch off. This promotes healthier grass growth and prevents stress on the lawn.

      Lawn care refers to the specific maintenance tasks like fertilizing, weed control, and seeding, while lawn service typically includes regular mowing, edging, and cleanup. In Raleigh, lawn care focuses on supporting warm-season grass health through targeted treatments, while lawn service handles routine cutting and trimming maintenance.

      Professional lawn care services can be worthwhile in Raleigh when you need expertise for warm-season grasses and local climate challenges. However, a customized DIY approach with Sunday's plans offers similar results at a lower cost, while still providing expert guidance and properly timed nutrients tailored to Raleigh's growing season.

      Professional mowing services in Raleigh typically charge $45-65 per mow for a standard quarter-acre lot. Prices vary based on lot size, terrain, and service frequency. Weekly mowing during peak growing season (April-October) is recommended for most Raleigh lawns to maintain optimal grass height.

      A successful lawn care program in Raleigh should include regular fertilization timed for warm-season grasses, targeted weed control, and proper watering. Sunday's custom lawn plans provide tailored nutrients, soil testing, and expert guidance specifically formulated for Raleigh's climate and common grass types like Bermuda, Zoysia and Centipede.

      Here are typical lawn care costs in Raleigh:

      Full-service professional lawn care: $150-200 per month Basic mowing service: $45-75 per visit DIY with Sunday custom plans: Starting at $55 per season

      Sunday's custom lawn plans include fertilizer, soil testing, and expert support - making it more affordable than traditional services while providing professional-grade results.
