    Hot, Rainless Summer

    We didn’t get much rain during the Summer months in the Chicagoland area. Added this to the lawn to help it survive the heat and it worked great. Everyone else on the block had a dry crispy lawn and ours stayed green and healthy.

    Lawn vs 3 dogs

    Last year I had replaced our entire lawn with new sod. Summer it looked great! But between having 3 dogs, a harsh winter, and bad soil the lawn looked rough at the beginning of the season. I’ve been very happy with how my lawn has progressively healed. Sunday makes it very easy to stay on top of my lawn care. I look forward to every new application because I love seeing the results.
