Rochester Hills, MI – meet custom DIY lawn care

In Rochester Hills, several factors shape your lawn care needs: soil type, local climate with cold winters and warm summers, amount of shade, lawn size, and your grass type (typically cool-season varieties in Michigan). Sunday's custom plans consider all these factors, plus soil test results that identify specific nutrient needs. Traffic patterns from kids and pets also influence your lawn's requirements throughout the growing season.

For a greener Rochester Hills lawn, focus on consistent care with properly timed nutrition. Sunday's custom plans deliver the right nutrients when your lawn needs them based on local conditions. Mow at the proper height (never too short), leave grass clippings on your lawn for added nutrients, and water deeply but infrequently. Address weeds promptly with targeted treatments, and overseed thin areas to maintain a thick, green carpet.

Start lawn care in Rochester Hills when soil temperatures warm in spring, typically April. Sunday's custom plans time your first application perfectly for Michigan's climate. Apply fertilizer when temperatures reach 50-85°F for best results. Early spring treatments give your cool-season grass the nutrients it needs to green up after winter dormancy. Don't wait until summer when heat stress can make recovery more difficult.

For Rochester Hills' weather, look for lawn care that addresses Michigan's seasonal extremes. Choose products formulated for cool-season grasses that thrive in your climate. Sunday's custom plans account for local soil and weather patterns, delivering nutrients when your lawn can best use them. Look for snow mold prevention in winter and drought-resistant options for summer. Products should work with nature to build resilience against Michigan's weather challenges.

Keep your Rochester Hills lawn pet and kid-friendly by choosing safer products like Sunday's that break down quickly and don't linger in the environment. After applications dry completely, family activities can resume. Maintain proper mowing height to encourage deeper roots that withstand play. Address pet spots promptly with specialized treatments like Pet Patch. Regular feeding with kid and pet-safe products creates a thick lawn that can handle traffic while staying green.
