Colorado Lawn Transformation
Sunday was a game changing experience for my lawn. Even though lawn care is a seasonal tasks in Colorado it can still be a challenge with frequent changes in temperature and moisture on an annual basis. My yard was very patchy and overrun by weeds when we moved in back in 2017. I found Sunday in the Spring of 2019 after searching for fertilizer safe for my pets. The yard has transformed over the past two years and continues to improve with each application. I appreciate the excellent customer experience as well whenever I have a question or concern.

Growing grass in Wheat Ridge means working with a cool semiarid climate that throws curveballs. Cold winters, dry summers, and limited rainfall make water-smart grass choices and timing everything.
Why fall seeding wins in Wheat Ridge
Your best window lands mid-September through early October, when soil stays warm but air cools down. Skip the common mistake of seeding too early in spring (the late-May window is tight for a reason). Prep soil with good aeration, water deeply but less often, and consider premium grass seed blends built for drought tolerance. Not sure which mix? Find the right grass for my yard.
