Does Sunday lawn care help with weeds?
How often can you apply Sunday to your lawn?
How long does it take for Sunday lawn care to dry?

Do not even bother wasting your money!
I signed up for a service and was double charged for my order. The customer service team was friendly and quick to tell me they'll get it resolved and ship out my order (also gave me $10 store credit for what its worth).
Days go by without a shipment notification. I contact them again and am assured they'll be sending out the order ASAP.
I request to cancel my order. They promptly cancel my subscription, but when I requested a refund they merely said "we'll contact your bank".
I check my bank statement. Not only did they not refund me, they charged me again!!! 3 total charges for the service without a single shipment of product.
Now I'm locked in a dispute with my bank, have no lawn seed, and have a bad taste in my mouth from this scam service.
If you're considering Sunday, my advice is do your own research and buy local. This service is a complete scam and it's ran by morons or crooks, can't tell which one.
I’ve been thinking of trying them out. Price seems reasonable, but don’t want to fall for a gimmick product and ruin my lawn.
I made a comment yesterday calling Sunday lawn products trash and realized that many people on here are DIY’ers/new to lawn management and the marketing and ease of products showing up at their door sounds appealing. As someone that has studied turfgrass sciences as well as 20 years in the turf industry on the professional side of things educating lawn care operators, golf course superintendents, sports field managers and landscape architects on fertilizers, seed, and pesticides- I want to give my two cents on this company.
First of all, the major problem that I have with Sunday is the marketing approach here. https://youtu.be/PDRo2gwaR1k
They say “traditional lawn care dumps millions of pounds of toxic chemicals” and “totally toxic”. This is a narrative that has gained a lot of traction in the recent decade with companies like Monsanto/bayer losing billion dollar lawsuits on the safety of glyphosate without any scientific evidence to support the claim. The fact is fearmongering has become a stronger force then evidence and data and that is what their approach is.
So what is a toxic chemical? The word chemical is very triggering to some. However, technically every single thing you breath, touch, or ingest is made up of chemicals. Water is a chemical. Milorganite is made up of chemicals. Organic “pesticides” are chemicals. All products applied are made up of chemicals.
What is toxicity? Toxicity is the degree to which a chemical substance can damage an organism.
Toxic chemicals: -Water is a chemical. Water is toxic to plants at a certain dose. Water can be toxic to humans at a certain dose. -glyphosate is a chemical that is toxic to plants at a low dose. Glyphosate is toxic to insects at a much higher dose. Glyphosate is toxic to pets at a much much higher dose then that.
So, Sunday fertilizers are also TOXIC CHEMICALS! If you don’t believe me dump your entire bag of liquid fertilizer in one spot of your lawn and see how it does.
With any chemical the dose makes the toxicity!
The second very important thing to consider in this argument is the effectiveness of turfgrass as a ground cover at absorbing and breaking down fertilizers and other chemicals. Grasses have a very dense root system that absorb all the different forms of lawn fertilizers, utilize them for growth, and releases oxygen back into the air.
I could go on about the benefits of lawns but the issue here seems to be that lawns are good but only if certain products are used. A VERY good marketing strategy! However, in general, as long as applications of fertilizers and pesticides are made according to their label, the fate of those products are overwhelmingly low impact to the environment.
The goal for lawn care should be to optimize the density of the grass to prevent competition from other weeds. This is the best form of weed control in itself. The best way to increase density is to provide the optimal amount of nutrients, water, sunlight, and substrate for root growth. When I see Sunday promoting one little bag of liquid fertilizer for a 10,000 ft2 lawn I already know that there isn’t enough nutrients that can fit in that bag to supply the minimum requirement for most turfgrass lawns.
I originally thought I would write more about the actual products and compare to traditional products, costs, how their packaging and shipping is not eco-friendly, etc but ive ran out of time and thumb strength to type in my phone. If there’s interest then maybe another post about that.
Hope everyone had a good memorial weekend and people enjoy their lawn no matter what products they use to make it green and lush!
