The short version
We took the long way. It shows.
Sunday Lawn Co. started with a used walk-behind, a Tacoma with 190,000 miles on it, and one customer who mostly wanted to prove a point. That lawn took two full seasons to bring back — soil test, lime, aeration, two rounds of overseeding, and a lot of patience in the second August. The neighbors watched the whole thing happen from their porches. By the third spring we had eleven houses on that street.
Before any of it, our founder spent nine years on golf course crews, mostly on fairways. Nobody on a course accepts “it was a bad year for grass” as an explanation, and that’s the standard that came with us. We test before we treat. We spot-spray instead of blanketing a property. And we tell people when they can skip something — the aeration you don’t need this fall is the reason you call us in the spring.
Ten seasons in, we still run one route at a time. We’d rather turn down four houses in November than show up at the fifth one in July with a crew that’s already behind.
“Anybody can make a lawn look good in May. We’re in it for what it looks like the third week of August, when nobody else’s does.” Ray Delgado, founder
