Sunday Lawn Care - A warning
Posted on 9/30/19 at 10:34 am
Posted on 9/30/19 at 10:34 am
I started a thread about Sunday Lawn Care a while back, I updated the thread but I wanted to post a more thorough review of my experience. I think they are a new company still working through some issues, so maybe it will improve, but it ended up killing all my grass.
The first package didn't really do anything to make my grass grow in and came in about 2 weeks late, the second shipment arrived at my house (late again) and the bag busted open. They sent me out a new one a week later. Then I applied it per the instructions and here are the results:
Grass totally burned, weeds are thriving.
Here is the farthest corner of my front yard where the hose doesn't reach. Grass looks great.
They issued a full refund and suggested I still spray the third pouch on my lawn, then tried to sell me weed killer and seed (I have St. Aug)
Eta: Any tips on saving my lawn??

I will look at the bag when I get home. I know there was iron in it and it was all natural kid friendly and pet friendly

More interested in what they are giving you for weed control. Are there any active ingredients of herbicides?
Posted on 9/30/19 at 3:09 pm to gamecocks22
I looked at their website one time and thought they had mentioned on there that they use no herbicides and the "weed control" comes from making sure the lawn is strong enough to choke out the weeds.
I closed my browser.

We’re not here to scare you, you can Google these commonly used herbicides and pesticides for that. We just happen to know that healthy grass is incredibly tough, and it’s the best weed and pest control there is.

Oh Okay. So they are just giving everyone fertilizer burn I guess? Wow

Looks like it.
I think they send a soil test kit but idk if they take grass type into consideration.

Damn... We used them and could never get the bags to work correctly. After the second treatment or so I called and they fully refunded me. Now Im glad it didn't work

Yes your lawn is tiny do it YOURSELF

I read up in them and came to the conclusion they don’t use anything to kill weeds just fertilizer to attempt to strengthen your grass. Sorry hard pass.

if my yard was that small I'd have artificial turf.
