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.

Not perfect but better than what I had

I was paying a lot of money for professional fertilization services that nearly killed my lawn. I’m trying to do it in my own and while it’s not the best on the block, it’s way better than it was.

So far so good

It's early in the process, but I do see that my lawn is much greener than the neighbors, and there are less weeds. The pet spot repair has been great!

Great service

I have struggled with growing a lush green lawn for ever. I started the tailor made program with Sunday and it’s been amazing. I was sitting out in front of my house yesterday and a man walking his dog said you have the best lawn in the neighborhood. Highly recommended product.
