      Rock Island, Illinois FAQs

      Traditional lawn care services can cost up to $1500/year. Sunday's custom lawn care plans start between $55-100, based on lawn size and needs. Plans include custom fertilizer, soil testing, weed and seed options, and expert advice. Rock Island homeowners can save hundreds yearly with Sunday's DIY approach while still getting great results.

      Focus on smart basics instead of expensive treatments. Mow using the 1/3 rule. Water deeply but less often. Use Sunday's soil test to apply only what your lawn needs. Their DIY approach saves on service fees. Custom plans prevent wasteful product use. Seeding bare spots in fall helps prevent weeds without costly herbicides.

      Find a program with soil testing to identify nutrient needs. Look for fertilizer matched to your grass type and local climate. Choose products safe for families and pets. Application timing should follow Midwest seasonal patterns. Sunday offers custom plans with these features plus expert Yard Advisors who understand local growing challenges.

      The 1/3 rule means never cutting more than one-third of grass height in one mowing. If grass is 3 inches tall, cut only 1 inch off. This prevents stress and helps roots grow deeper. Properly mowed grass better resists drought and crowds out weeds naturally. It's a simple practice that greatly improves lawn health.

      Rock Island lawns face hot, humid summers that bring fungal diseases like brown patch. Temperature swings stress grass. Summer heat causes drought. Many lawns have heavy clay soil. Sunday helps with targeted nutrients based on soil tests, proper application timing, and advice on mowing and watering to build lawn strength.

      Sunday designed products with safety in mind. Their ingredients break down quickly in the environment. After products dry, pets can safely play in your yard.
