    Great Results in Maine

    Sunday has been a really great way to take care of our lawn this past year. Ordering the product was easy. This lawn was completely re-seeded with 70-yards of fresh loam in 2021. It didn't look great at the end of last year. Sunday helped it fill in and defy a nasty drought this past summer with no watering. While other peoples lawns were turning brown, our yard was holding on and I think Sunday had a lot to do with it. I'm really pleased with the approach of the products, the ease of use and the results.

      How to grow grass in Scarborough, Maine

      Most common grass type(s) in Scarborough, ME: Cool-season grasses
      Best way to grow grass in Scarborough, ME: Seeding is the recommended method for cool-season grasses
      Recommended grass species for Scarborough, ME lawns: Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, fine fescue
      When to start growing grass in Scarborough, ME: Cool-season grass seeding is best from May 11 to June 15 in spring and August 1 to September 26 in fall

      Growing a beautiful lawn in Scarborough, Maine starts with choosing the right grass types for the local climate. Cool-season grasses thrive in this region, with Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fine fescue being the top recommendations for Scarborough lawn care.

      Seeding is the most effective method for establishing grass in Scarborough. The timing is crucial - you have two ideal windows for success:

      • Spring seeding: May 11 to June 15
      • Fall seeding: August 1 to September 26

      Fall is often the best time for seeding in Maine, as cooler temperatures and typically more consistent rainfall create perfect conditions for germination while reducing weed competition.

      When planning lawn care in Scarborough, consider using a Sunday custom lawn care plan tailored to your specific yard conditions. Not sure which grass seed variety is best for your situation? Use Sunday's Seed Finder Tool to identify the perfect match.

      For patching bare spots or repairing thin areas, apply Sunday premium grass seed during these optimal seeding windows. Water newly seeded areas consistently to maintain soil moisture until established.
