LAWN PLAN EXCLUSIVE

Heat Defense

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.

Worked for us!

Great results. We've had trouble with our lawn for years, but since using Get Sunday it has steadily improved. We have grass growing where it NEVER has before regardless of how much time, effort, fertilizer, or other product I've used. We would highly recommend. Give this a shot.

Looking good so far!

So far everything is looking very healthy and happy especially as it starts to cool off. The lawn is pretty lush except in a few areas where I'll probably have to add more seed since it's Fall. The shipments, instructions and application of the products have been a breeze. Now I'm ready to try more!

It really works!

I am amazed to see the growth and turnaround we have had from using Sunday. From completely dead areas to long strong blades of lush green grass! We still have some bald spots but we will continue to use Sunday because it has actually worked wonders!

Absolutely amazing

I was fighting a battle with pocket gophers and pets. My yard was great in a few spots but the majority was either not growing, always dead or just sad. I gave Sunday a chance and was amazed. After I got the gophers under control, I started my lawn plan and could not believe the results. There's sti...

Front yard looks like new sod

A friend asked when I got new sod put in. After just a couple of months of Sunday treatments, my yard looks like new sod.
