      Waltham, Massachusetts FAQs

      Traditional lawn care services in Waltham can cost up to $1500 annually. Sunday offers a more affordable option with custom lawn plans starting between $55-$100, depending on your lawn size. Plans include custom fertilizer, soil testing, weed control options, and unlimited access to Yard Advisors who can help with your specific needs. Many customers save hundreds each year while getting better results with Sunday's data-driven approach.

      For Waltham lawns, look for a plan that works with cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and fescues. Focus on spring and fall feeding when these grasses grow best. Choose products without harsh chemicals that won't harm kids or pets. Find a solution that builds soil health over time. Good Waltham lawn care adapts to local weather patterns and uses water wisely during summer heat.

      For bare spots, seed in early fall (late August-October) when cool-season grasses thrive. Tackle weeds with targeted spot treatments rather than blanket applications. For patchy grass under trees, try shade-tolerant seed varieties. Fix thin lawns by overseeding and applying nutrients to boost soil health. Sunday's soil test helps pinpoint specific deficiencies so you apply exactly what your lawn needs, not what it doesn't.

      Early spring (March-April) is ideal to begin lawn care in Waltham. Start with a soil test and spring cleanup to remove winter debris. Apply spring fertilizer when soil temperatures reach about 55°F. For seeding, wait until late August to early October when cool-season grasses establish best. A customized plan with timed nutrient applications throughout the growing season will give your Waltham lawn the strongest foundation.

      Yes! With Sunday's customized approach, Waltham homeowners can easily manage their own lawns. Our soil test pinpoints exactly what your lawn needs, and we deliver tailored nutrients right to your door with simple application instructions. The key is consistency and timing - applying the right products at the right time. Our Yard Advisor team helps with any questions, making DIY lawn care straightforward and effective.
