Professional lawn care services can run up to $1,500 per year. Sunday's first box starts at $55 and includes a custom nutrient plan, free soil analysis, and expert consultations. Full plan costs vary by lawn size and any add-ons you choose.

Lawn care focuses on feeding your soil and grass through fertilization, soil testing, and nutrient management. Lawn maintenance covers the physical upkeep like mowing, watering, and debris removal. Both work together to keep your yard thriving.

Full-service lawn care typically includes fertilization, weed control, soil testing, and expert guidance. Sunday plans deliver custom pesticide-free nutrients, a personalized schedule, free soil analysis, Yard Advisor consultations, and options for grass seed, pest control, and garden products.

The 1/3 rule means never cutting more than one-third of your grass blade height at once. Removing too much stresses roots and invites weeds. This keeps your lawn healthier and more resilient through Salem's wet winters and dry summers.

The rule of 3 suggests grouping plants or design elements in odd numbers for a natural, balanced look. It applies to flower beds, shrubs, and hardscape features. Your eye moves more easily across odd groupings than even ones.

Consider a landscape architect for major projects like grading, drainage fixes, or full yard redesigns. For routine lawn care like fertilization, weed control, and soil health, a custom nutrient plan handles the science without the big project price tag.
