What silt-heavy soil means for your lawn care
Your soil's high silt content (70%) retains water nicely but compacts easily underfoot. Aerate in fall to keep roots breathing. One common mistake here: overwatering. That moisture-holding soil doesn't need daily drinks. For more seasonal tips, check out our lawn guides.

Started my treatment with Sunday
Started my treatment with Sunday over the summer and my lawn is looking great as we get ready for the winter! Just applied northeast nutrients, excited to see how it looks in the spring. Easy to use. Highly recommend.

With the lack of snow and rain this past winter and spring, Pennsylvania is heading for a drought this summer. With the Spring and Summer nutrient packages from Sunday, our lawn is one of the nicest looking in the neighborhood. With minimal watering and applications as directed the Sunday system cannot be any easier. In addition to the prescribed nutrients we’ve added pet spot neutralizer which has kept the areas where our dog goes looking as healthy as the rest of the lawn. Thanks Sunday for a beautiful lawn.
