LAWN PLAN EXCLUSIVE

Low nitrogen. High resilience.
Heat Defense takes a different approach. Instead of pushing growth during hot weather, it helps your lawn survive it. The 12-0-4 formula keeps nitrogen low to avoid forcing growth. Seaweed strengthens roots. Surfactant helps water penetrate instead of running off.
Apply before heat arrives. Your lawn will handle summer better.
The good stuff inside
- Low nitrogen 12-0-4 NPK Maintains color without forcing growth in heat
- Surfactant Helps water soak into soil instead of running off
- Seaweed extract Strengthens roots and improves heat tolerance
- Potassium Water management when temps climb
- Zero pesticide fertilizer—everything you need, nothing you don't
- Universally loved by climates and grasses
How to use
Apply in late spring or early summer before heat stress begins. Less effective as rescue treatment during active drought.
1. Apply early morning or evening to a well-hydrated lawn.
2. Connect sprayer to hose and pouch.
3. Spray evenly until pouch is empty (about 10-15 minutes).
4. Water thoroughly after application.
5. Reapply every 4 weeks through summer.
Can I apply Heat Defense during a heat wave?
It's less effective once grass is already stressed. Heat Defense works best as prevention. If temps have been above 90°F for several days and your lawn is showing stress, water deeply and wait for a cooler stretch before applying.
How is Heat Defense different from Drought Defense?
Heat Defense is a fertilizer (12-0-4) with surfactant included. It feeds your lawn while improving water penetration. Drought Defense (0-0-1) is just a wetting agent with minimal nutrients. Use Heat Defense for regular summer feeding. Use Drought Defense as a targeted treatment when you need maximum water efficiency without adding nitrogen.
Should I apply Heat Defense or weed treatment first?
Heat Defense first if summer stress is your main concern. Wait at least 1-3 days between applications. If weeds are actively spreading, treat weeds first, then apply Heat Defense at least 24 hours later. The surfactant in Heat Defense can affect how weed control absorbs, so you don’t want to apply them too close together.
I sprayed Heat Defense and a few days later some patches turned reddish. What does that mean?
That's likely rust fungus, not a reaction to Heat Defense. Rust appears as orange-red powder on grass blades, especially in humid conditions. Heat Defense doesn't cause discoloration. Mow regularly to remove infected blade tips and the lawn should recover as conditions improve.

It is an immense relief to find a yard care option that works with nature not against it. No more green short term facade, with poisoning long term destruction. And it's actually fairly affordable?!?!?! Wow. Mindblown. Thank you very much.
So far so good can’t wait for next season to see how everything is holding up? Time will tell.
I started with a weed infested lawn. I had tons of questions and the guys were more than helpful with their responses. Will even went as far as making video responses to a video I sent showing my lawn's status. Super happy with the service.
This is my first year using the Sunday System. I have unsuccessfully tried the DIY yard treatment granules from the big box stores and tried hiring a truly green service to apply for me, but no success with either. From the pictures, you can see that for the first time in ten years, I am finally mak...

I started using Sunday at the beginning of the summer and my yard is a lawn now. It's beautiful. And very very thick!!
I love that the products just show up, I don't have to mark dates on my calendar or research what I'm supposed to be doing now. Getting the emails telling me which product to use now; and having Sunny to ask questions has been a game changer. I have been following the plan for about 6 months now and...
We live in a wooded area where I am always fighting to get the grass to grow between the board of the yard and the forest. The fertilizer I received in my first box I feel made a difference with the existing grass we already had. With our new puppy I did utilize the urine resistance seed to get the ...
I do love using Sunday products on my too large lawn! I found them to be economical too compared to the dry fertilizers that never spread as far as they promise
So far Sunday’s products is helping me keep my lawn rehab on track heading into Fall season. The application and customer support has been on point also. Looking forward to seeing the Spring season results!
