1. Lawn care uses harsh chemicals.
Traditional lawn care often involves over-fertilizing that can make your soil dependent on harsh chemicals. At Sunday, we want to help you grow a green lawn that’s people, pet, and planet friendly – which is why we’re extremely selective and careful about the ingredients we use.
We also don’t believe that “extra” is better. Your yard doesn’t really need an abundance of products, and we don’t believe in blanket pesticide application. We believe in giving your lawn the targeted nutrients and treatments it needs to grow healthy and strong, and crowd out weeds naturally. Nothing more, nothing less.
2. It’s too time-consuming.
Gone are the days of lugging heavy fertilizer bags and messy spreaders around the yard. Sunday’s lightweight pouches are sent straight to your door. All you have to do is open the box, attach the pouch to your hose and spray. It really is that easy.
3. Lawns use too much water.
Watering daily isn’t good for your lawn – in fact, it weakens your grass and makes it more vulnerable to disease. (Plus, the weeds and moss love it.)
Watering your grass less frequently and for longer times actually encourages deep, expansive root growth. This means your grass becomes more resourceful and reaches for nutrients and water deeper down in the soil. If you don't get a lot of water naturally, make sure to choose the right grass type for your climate. You can also reduce water use by adding native plants to your landscape that require less water.
4. You have to be an expert to DIY lawn care.
If you have a hose, you can have a Sunday lawn. We use a personalized soil test, combined with climate and satellite data, to create a complete picture of your lawn and any deficiencies it might be experiencing.
Your custom plan gets delivered exactly when your lawn needs it, so there’s no guesswork about the timing of the next application. You’ll find custom instructions in each delivery, and you always have access to lawn care experts whenever you need them. And if you have a question or issue of any kind, we guarantee that we’ll find a way to help.
5. It’s too expensive.
Conventional methods of lawn care can involve buying a ton of extra, unnecessary products or equipment, or even hiring a company to do the job for you. Sunday Smart Lawn Plans begin at just $119 for the year, and you can add on any upgrades you need up front, so you’ll know exactly what you’ll spend from day one. No surprise charges or extra, unnecessary products.
6. Lawn care can’t be sustainable.
Fertilizer runoff, water waste, harmful pesticide use – there are many old-school methods of lawn care that don’t prioritize the environment. At Sunday, we believe in using targeted plant science to give your lawn precisely what it needs to flourish, without the harmful or unnecessary add-ons.
We follow Minimal Levels of Sustainable Nutrition (MLSN) guidelines to interpret your soil health and needs to optimize nutrients for your lawn. We also recommend using an Integrated Pest Management system to deal with unwanted plants or insects, with chemicals as a last resort. Additionally, we’re a 1% for the Planet business, so a portion of every sale gives back to America’s wild places.

7. It’s too hard to grow a great lawn.
At Sunday, our goal is to help you grow and maintain a healthy, strong lawn that becomes self-sustaining. Year over year, you’ll find your grass roots grow deeper, making your lawn more resilient and less vulnerable to diseases or pests. With Sunday, you can mow less and maintain less while nature and the ecosystem do their thing.
