      Stratford, Connecticut FAQs

      Traditional lawn care services can cost up to $1500/year. Sunday offers a more affordable option with custom lawn care plans starting between $55-100, based on your lawn size. Plans include custom lawn fertilizer, soil test kit and analysis, options for weeds, seeds and pests, access to Yard Advisors, and custom schedules. Stratford homeowners can save hundreds of dollars each year with Sunday while still growing a healthy lawn.

      Start with a soil test to understand what your lawn needs. Apply the right fertilizer at the right time, following Sunday's custom schedule for Connecticut lawns. Water deeply but not too often to help roots grow strong. Mow at the proper height, around 3 inches for most grass types in Stratford. Add grass seed in fall to keep your lawn thick and help fight weeds naturally. Sunday's custom plans make these steps simple with products delivered right when you need them.

It's DIY made simple with products that are safer for families and pets. Sunday helps you work with nature to grow a greener lawn without the hassle of traditional lawn care.

      Early spring, around March to April, is the ideal time to start lawn care in Stratford as soil begins to warm. This is when you should do your soil test and apply your first fertilizer. Fall, from September to October, is another key time for Connecticut lawns. This season is perfect for adding grass seed and preparing for winter. Sunday plans are timed to these local growing seasons, sending you exactly what you need when your lawn needs it.

      Stratford lawns often battle crabgrass and dandelions in spring and summer. Humid weather can cause brown patch fungus in summer months. Many Connecticut lawns suffer from grub damage in late summer. Shady areas may develop moss problems. Winter can leave lawns damaged from snow and ice. Summer heat and drought stress are also common challenges. Sunday's custom approach addresses these regional issues with targeted products designed for Connecticut conditions.

      Use Sunday's custom lawn plan that delivers exactly what you need based on your soil and Connecticut's climate. Mow at the right height, about 3 inches, which helps grass develop stronger roots. Water deeply but less often to train your grass to be more drought-resistant. Apply pre-emergent weed control in early spring to stop crabgrass before it starts. Add grass seed in fall to keep your lawn thick. Sunday simplifies these steps with clear instructions and products that work with nature.
