LAWN PLAN EXCLUSIVE

Orange and green bag of Heat Defense Granular Fertilizer

Meet the granular built for hot, dry days

Exclusively available only in Sunday Lawn Plans

When temps rise and rain dips, this blend keeps your lawn on track. Premium ingredients support healthy growth and greener color, while the added surfactant helps water move into soil and reach roots more evenly, especially in arid regions. We also added leaf compost to support healthier soil. (Bet you didn’t know granular did that.)

One spread. One watering. Greener grass made simple. (We kept it humble. Your lawn won’t.)

The good stuff inside

  • Zero pesticide fertilizer —everything you need, nothing you don't
  • Universally loved by climates and grasses
  • Heat stress tolerance from potassium
  • Steady growth and green-up with nitrogen, calcium and sulfur
  • Builds organic matter from recycled leaf compost

How to use

Fill the spreader. Spread evenly for full coverage. Water in. Let dry. Go brag.

How soon will I see results with Heat Defense Granular?

With good moisture, you should notice a greener, thicker lawn in about 1 to 2 weeks.

Is Heat Defense Granular safe for all grasses?

Sure is. While designed with the arid West in mind, this product can be used on any lawn or grass type.

When should I apply Heat Defense Granular?

Late spring is prime time, right before summer heat. You can also use it ahead of a forecasted dry spell.

Will Heat Defense Granular let me water less?

No. It improves water movement and soil moisture behavior but does not reduce irrigation needs. To reduce watering needs, add Sunday’s Drought Defense into your normal routine. You can use it alongside any Sunday lawn fertilizer, liquid or dry.

Granular Lawn Fertilizer Instructions

Your lawn is a living thing. Soil, roots, microbes, the whole crew. Sunday's granular fertilizers feed that system slowly, so your grass grows steadily (instead of spiking and stalling). Here's how to put them to work

Thank you for a clean product that works!!! I feel so much better spraying this in our yard instead of spreading toxins. . . dogs, cats, birds and squirrels all say thank you too!

Wonderful Lawncare

I started using Sunday this year and I love it so far! Great products that aren't full of harmful chemicals and they work! My lawn loves the fertilizer and doesn't hate the weed killer or bug spray, both of which work really well. The soil analysis was cool to see, and so far the AI chat Sunny has...

Best Lawn In The Neighborhood

Was not sure about this system but by following the Sunday directions, other some pesky clover, I have the best looking lawn in our subdivision.

I’m very pleased so far

I started Sunday treatments in August of this year and am pleased with the results. I love the ease of transactions as Sunday sends my tools as they are needed and I have a schedule that tells me when to apply. No guess work. I also love the Sunny feature and have used it a few times. It is very hel...

Working on it

I started the Sunday program in August. My yard hadn’t been fertilized since last autumn and isn’t in the best shape. After 4 applications of fertilizer it looks better but it isn’t where we want it. I just can’t seem to get the weeds out. I like the reminders to fertilize the lawn. I’m going to giv...

My yard was in need of getting greener and weeds removal. Sunday excelled at the getting greener part! The weeding product really didn't work especially the one for "garden" which ended up burning and destroying several of my flowers in bed around garden (it was supposed to be safe for flowers and g...

Beautiful backyard!

First year with Sunday Lawn. I started with them in August I believe? I am a widow who loves my backyard, 2 dogs and cat, and wanted a non- chemical lawn. This product really feeds and nourishes my lawn! I water on a schedule which is important too. I used to use Trugreen but decided to do it myself...
