Our Sunday Review

Company’s Profile

Sunday was founded by two brothers who wanted to improve lawn care. It was founded in 2019 and has not yet received a rating on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website. However, it was listed by TIME as one of the best inventions in 2019. It differs from other traditional lawn care services. For Sunday lawn services, you do the work yourself using natural products, compared to other companies, where you hire a lawn care professional.

The Plans, Products, and services offered by Sunday Lawn Care

Sunday Lawn care aims to improve the lawn while still reducing the chemical-laced products that can negatively affect people and animals. Their products are designed, to treat the lawn by use of the exact nutrients that your lawn needs.

It is important to ensure you read the list of ingredients on the products. Some of the above products may contain soy urea, food waste, and leonardite.

  • First box-Iron Booster, Grass Powerhouse, Lab soil test, and a prayer
  • Second box- Lawn Strength and Grass Powerhouse

The lab soil test helps in knowing the specific nutrient deficiencies and need. It allows the team to refine the plan and determine the exact needs of your lawn.

If you would like to add the weed control products to your box, these are several you can choose from. These include;

  1. Weed Warrior: This organic weed control/killer eliminates moss and other weeds in 20 minutes. You just need to ensure that you don't apply it to the good grass.
  2. Dandelion Doom: This weed control formula is iron-based that kills broadleaf weeds and dandelion. It doesn't harm the grass.

Subscriptions start and renew between February and April. Your subscription includes a full growing season of nutrients split up into three different shipments, roughly every two months. These plans can be canceled anytime.

Customer Reviews

Some Customers on their website are saying:

"After one treatment this year I can see my lawn becoming thicker and greener. Looking forward to how a full year of lawn treatments will improve my lawn and make it healthier. So easy to apply. Tried your lawn seeding program this fall and that was a heat success. Thank you, Sunday for helping my lawn." Michael, November 2020

"We have lived in our house for 14 years and each year we’ve struggled with what to do to make our yard the healthiest it can be and not put chemicals into the ground to accomplish that. This year, with using Sunday, is the BEST it has ever been! Our neighbors have asked us what we’ve been using because they notice the difference too! I cannot recommend Sunday enough!" Rhonda, November 2020

"First time user. Very easy to set up and apply. No strange weird smells. It provided complete coverage for our lawn. We noticed an improvement in the thickness and fullness of grass. Even after the first snow here in the Midwest, it proved to look great after it melted. Excited to continue using the product and see our beautiful lawn lush and full of growth in the spring." James, October 2020

Other Customers were not satisfied and this is what they had to say;

“For me, I didn’t get the product on time so it was very late for the first application. I also bought the weed killer and it was worthless and way more expensive than other products that really work. Eric in customer service is polite and kind but offered no refund or anything else to correct the weed killer’s lack of effectiveness. I may try the lawn stuff one more time if I can get it on time, but the weed killer, never again.” — Jeff R.

From our observation, most of the customers were satisfied with the customer service, the company's mission, and the product.

Customer Service

The customer service of Sunday Lawn care is top-notch. Whether the customers have a complaint, an inquiry, something positive or negative to say, they will all receive a response from the company. The following is an example of a response from the company after someone complained of damage after using their product.

Juan Pico—We’re so sorry to hear this! It is extremely uncommon for our products to cause browning, we’re going to have one of our turf experts reach out to you to try and diagnose the problem further and get this fixed! We do offer a full money-back guarantee if you’re not happy with your results, but of course, we want to help get your green lawn back on track ASAP. Look out for an email from us, and again our apologies!”
