      Schenectady, New York FAQs

      Traditional lawn care in Schenectady can cost up to $1500 yearly. Sunday's custom plans start between $55-$100, based on lawn size. Plans include custom fertilizer, soil testing, weed control options, grass seed options, and expert Yard Advisor support. Sunday's approach works with nature while saving you hundreds of dollars compared to traditional services.

      Choose a plan based on your lawn's specific needs. Sunday creates custom plans using soil, climate, and lawn size data. The included soil test identifies nutrient deficiencies to address. Consider options with weed control for persistent weeds or grass seed for thin areas. Sunday's personalized approach delivers the right products at the right time for your Schenectady lawn.

      Schenectady lawns commonly battle crabgrass in summer, bare spots from winter damage, brown patches during humid periods, and persistent weeds like dandelions and clover. Shaded areas may struggle with thinning grass. Sunday's soil testing helps identify specific nutrient deficiencies, while their customized products address these regional challenges at the right time.

      Begin lawn care in Schenectady when soil temperatures reach above 50°F in early spring. Sunday times product shipments based on your local climate, so treatments arrive when your lawn needs them most. Apply first nutrients when grass actively grows. Fall is ideal for seeding, while spring works best for weed control and initial fertilization.

      Maintain your Schenectady lawn by mowing at 3-4 inches and leaving clippings to return nutrients to soil. Water deeply, about 1-1.5 inches weekly. Apply Sunday nutrients according to your custom schedule. Spot treat weeds rather than blanket applications. Overseed thin areas in fall and monitor for fungal issues during humid summers.
