      Silver Spring, Maryland FAQs

      Professional lawn care services in Silver Spring, MD typically cost $45-75 per visit for a standard quarter-acre lot. Annual costs range from $700-1,200 for basic mowing and maintenance. Sunday's custom lawn care plans start at $55 for a full season of tailored nutrients and support, offering significant savings over traditional services.

      When choosing lawn care in Silver Spring, consider these key factors: your lawn size, service frequency needs, and budget. Look for providers offering customized plans that account for the region's climate and grass types. Compare services, reviews, and pricing. Consider DIY options like Sunday's customized plans that provide professional-grade products with expert guidance.

      The 1/3 rule states you should never cut off more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. Following this rule maintains grass health, reduces stress, and promotes deeper root growth. For example, if your grass is 3 inches tall, don't cut off more than 1 inch.

      For a typical quarter-acre lawn in Silver Spring, expect to pay $45-65 per mow. Prices vary based on lot size, terrain, and service frequency. Weekly mowing during peak growing season (April-October) averages $200-260 per month.

      Here are the key maintenance steps for lawns in Silver Spring, MD:

      Spring (March-May):

      • Mow grass 2.5-3 inches high once soil dries
      • Apply fertilizer when grass starts actively growing
      • Spot treat early spring weeds
      • Overseed bare patches once soil warms

      Summer (June-August):

      • Mow grass 3-3.5 inches high
      • Water deeply 1-1.5 inches per week
      • Treat weeds as needed
      • Avoid fertilizing during peak heat

      Fall (September-November):

      • Continue mowing at 2.5-3 inches
      • Overseed thin areas in early fall
      • Apply fertilizer to strengthen roots

      Year-round best practices:

      • Test soil annually

      In Silver Spring, mow cool-season grasses like tall fescue every 5-7 days during peak growing seasons (spring and fall) and every 7-10 days in summer. Adjust frequency based on growth rate and maintain grass height between 2.5-3.5 inches. Avoid mowing wet grass or removing more than 1/3 blade length.

      Here are additional important lawn care tips for Silver Spring, MD:

      Water early morning (5-9am) to reduce evaporation and fungal growth. Most lawns need 1-1.5 inches of water weekly. Core aerate in early fall to reduce soil compaction. Keep grass at 3 inches to shade soil and retain moisture. Address grub issues in late summer if damage appears.

      Remember to:

      • Monitor rainfall and adjust watering accordingly
      • Sharpen mower blades monthly during growing season
      • Test soil pH every 2-3 years
      • Leave grass clippings to return nutrients
      • Control weeds before they go to seed

      Here's how to maintain a more sustainable lawn in Silver Spring:

      • Mow high at 3-3.5 inches to shade soil and reduce water needs

      • Leave grass clippings as natural fertilizer
      • Use Sunday's targeted nutrients that work with nature
