My lawn has definitely started
My lawn has definitely started getting greener. I just wish there was a faster/better way to get rid of the weeds. The customer service is great!

Lawn has never looked better. The tip about leaving the grass tall has been the best thing ever, our lawn is healthy and can handle the heat. The fertilizer has worked wonders, creating a deep green to our lawn.

I can't stop staring at my lawn!
Sunday's products have been amazing. SO easy to use, and the automatic delivery is awesome. My lawn looks incredible - I just love to stare at it. This is the first year using it (in previous years, just did a couple of treatments with MiracleGro or something from the local store), and I'm hooked. Will definitely renew for next year.

Love this!
I've been using Sunday lawn service for 3 years now, and I'm so pleased with how well it works! I coupled it with a Rachio sprinkler system starting last year, on a Sunday Lawn Care specialist recommendation, and I think it has really taken the grass to the next level. Not to mention it helps conserve water by watering more effectively! For 15 years, I only used big box store type fertlizer once or twice a year, and my lawn was just average. Sunday lawn is so much more specific and well worth the fees.

I love the area-specific plans
I love the area-specific plans and guided application process. I live in Southern California near Palm Springs, so the climate gets VERY hot but Sunday's products do a great job keeping my lawn green. There's a few bare patches but I think that has to do with the horrible soil in my area.
