    Local soil tends to be acidic with a pH of 5.5, which can affect how your grass absorbs nutrients. For effective lawn care in Standish, consider:

    • Lime application: Helps raise pH levels closer to neutral, improving nutrient availability

    My lawn is looking good. There are still a lot of dandelions spreading throughout the lawn but I just received the container and electric sprayer to use with the container of dandelion doom that I have. I certainly have seen an improvement and I would say my number of stars should really be 4 1/2.

      Standish, Maine FAQs

      Traditional lawn care services in Standish can cost up to $1500 yearly. Sunday offers a more affordable alternative with custom lawn plans starting between $55-100, based on your lawn size. Our plans include custom fertilizer, a soil test kit with analysis, and options for weed control and seeding. You'll also get custom application schedules and unlimited access to our Yard Advisors, saving you hundreds each year.

      Several factors affect lawn care costs in Standish. The size of your lawn is the primary factor, with larger lawns requiring more product and time. Your choice of plan type also impacts pricing. Additional services like weed control, seeding options, and pest management can affect total costs.

Follow the application dates on your Sunday plan for optimal results.

      For a pet-friendly lawn in Standish, choose Sunday's specially formulated products designed with safety in mind. Our ingredients break down quickly and don't persist in the environment.
