Getting started with your Sunday Lawn Plan
Welcome to your new Sunday lawn plan! If you're reading this, you've taken a fantastic first step toward growing a healthier, more sustainable lawn that's better for you, your pets, and the planet. Ready to get started? Here’s everything you need to know to use your Sunday products and grow your lawn.
First, what's in your Sunday plan
Every Sunday box is tailored specifically to the individual yard's needs. Don't worry if the items in your box look a bit different from other plans—each lawn plan is as unique as your yard!
Essential resources
- My Plan: Keep track of when to apply fertilizer, seed, and other tips.
- The Shed: Explore detailed product guides, videos, and articles on all things yard care.
- Yard Advisors: Our team of pros is ready to answer any and all yard care questions.
Fertilize your lawn
No matter what’s in your Sunday plan, your journey starts with one critical task: fertilizing your lawn. Whether you have liquid or granular fertilizer, we got you covered.
Liquid Fertilizer: Simply attach it to a hose, turn it on, and evenly cover your lawn, doubling back as necessary.
Granular Fertilizer: Use a hand or push spreader to distribute the fertilizer evenly over your lawn.
Sunday tips for fertilizer applications
- If the timing doesn’t work out, don’t worry! A little delay on application won’t harm your lawn—just space out the applications by about a week to catch up. More on how to use leftover fertilizer.
- Liquid fertilizer requires a hose. Granular requires a hand or push spreader.
- Don’t overthink it; keep moving and apply uniformly across the lawn.
- If your plan includes Lawn Kickstart or an extra boost pouch, apply between your My Plan fertilizer applications.

Sunday Fertilizer FAQs
How quickly should I move? Move quickly to apply to your entire treatment area. If you still have product remaining, double back until it’s used up.
How do I know how much to apply to my yard? The amount of fertilizer in your custom plan applications is meant to cover your lawn size (which can be found on your Account page). P.S. Need a modification? Our team can update if necessary!
Remember, your Sunday box may include additional products if you opt for upgrades. Keep reading if that’s the case.
Sunday Tip:
The only exception to not starting with fertilizer will be if you're starting a lawn entirely from scratch or doing an extensive renovation. If that's the case, be sure to check out these Shed articles instead:
Control weeds
Next up is weed control. You won’t find custom instructions in your My Plan—it’s meant to be applied throughout the season—to your preference and as needed.
Sunday tips for weed control
- Weed control can be applied the same day as fertilizer, just make sure the lawn is dry.
- Cover the weeds entirely for effective control.
- Choose a rain-free forecast for the application to dry fully on the leaves.
- Consider a follow-up application within two weeks for best results.

Seed and patch
Depending on your selection and region, you may receive Sunday grass seed. Luckily, this task can also be done the same day you fertilize. Our fertilizer is formulated without pesticides and won’t harm grass seed.
Sunday tips for seeding
- Your My Plan page includes optimal overseeding dates for seed germination.
- Watering is the most important thing. Make sure seed stays moist, not oversaturated, possibly requiring watering twice a day.
