Sunday’s strongest documented strength is easy, guided DIY lawn care. Buyers praise its app and convenience. One wrote that for the first time in nine years, his lawn was “thicker, greener, and better looking than the golf course,” another said “The app is great,” and a third said “Super easy to use, love the new app to track.” Sunday is a US lawn care subscription founded by Coulter and Trent Lewis that builds a custom plan from your address, soil data and climate, then ships products to your door to apply yourself. What sets it apart is personalization plus guidance: a soil test kit, hose-end liquid nutrient pouches with a sprayer, application reminders in an app, and an AI assistant called Sunny.
Sunday’s annual plans are priced by lawn size. Earth’s Friends reports subscriptions starting around $109, and LawnStarter’s comparisons show plans in the low hundreds of dollars per year. The first box includes a soil test kit with a prepaid return box, and Thriving Yard says results take about three weeks. Sunday also sells weed control, pest control, grass seed and soil amendments. Subscriptions renew annually and can be cancelled anytime, according to Sunday. This Old House named Sunday “Best for DIY Lawn Care,” and buyers like that it avoids lawn-service trucks and harsh chemicals.
The honest caveat: Sunday’s Trustpilot score is 3.6 from 88 reviews, with 25% one-star, and it takes over a month to reply to complaints. One buyer said “my lawn does not look better, after two years,” and another said Sunday refused to cancel an order on the day he placed it and that “they still refuse to accept a return” on the unopened box.

We analyzed Sunday’s Trustpilot profile (88 reviews, a 3.6 TrustScore, 42% five-star and 25% one-star, with review invitations and replies to 56% of negative reviews, usually after more than a month), plus reviews from This Old House, LawnStarter, Bob Vila, Thriving Yard, Earth’s Friends and Eartheasy. GlossGirly has no commercial relationship with Sunday that affects this verdict. Safety note: follow each product label exactly, keep kids and pets off treated areas for the time the label says, store products securely, and follow local watering rules. “Natural” products still need careful handling.
When you sign up, Sunday uses your address to estimate lawn size, climate and regional soil conditions, then builds a plan. Your first box includes a soil test kit with a collection spoon, bag and prepaid shipping box, and Thriving Yard says results take about three weeks. Products arrive as liquid nutrient pouches that attach to a hose-end sprayer, so applying them takes minutes. The app shows when and how to apply each product, and the AI assistant Sunny answers questions. LawnStarter notes that Sunday doesn’t tailor amendments to your soil test until after you’ve started the program.
Results vary widely. Many buyers report thicker, greener lawns, including one who said his lawn now beats the golf course he lives on, and another who said his grass stayed good through a drought. Others saw little change. One buyer said his lawn hadn’t improved after two years and hired a professional, another said half his “lawn” is unidentified green growth, and another’s lawn yellowed during peak growing season. Weed control is the most consistent complaint. Several buyers said the weed product amounts weren’t enough and they bought extra products locally. Harsh climates like Arizona may need significant soil amendments beyond Sunday’s plan.
The app is one of Sunday’s best features, with clear reminders and instructions. Many buyers enjoy chatting with Sunny for advice, and one said it adjusts schedules to his needs. Others find Sunny long-winded and repetitive, and one said it gave up on his dead spots and told him to try again next year. Customer service gets mixed reviews. Some praise helpful answers, while others describe rigid policies. One buyer said Sunday wouldn’t cancel an order placed the same day and refused to accept a return of the unopened box.
Sunday’s annual plans depend on lawn size, starting around $109 per year according to Earth’s Friends. Some buyers say it costs a little more than buying products locally but is worth it for the guidance and convenience. Others say they could buy similar products at Lowe’s the same day without waiting for shipping. Thriving Yard argues the cost is comparable once you factor in soil analysis and buying the right mix of products. Our advice is to check your plan’s renewal date, read the cancellation and return policy before ordering, and budget for extra weed control or soil amendments if needed.
An annual subscription with a soil test, custom liquid nutrient pouches and a hose-end sprayer, delivered on schedule. It’s best for first-time homeowners and DIYers who want guidance. Follow the app’s timing, and track your renewal date.
Targeted weed killers available as add-ons. Some buyers praise them, while others found the quantities insufficient. They’re best for lawns with moderate weed pressure. Follow label instructions closely, and keep kids and pets off treated areas as directed.
Seed for overseeding thin or patchy lawns, which one buyer planned to use in fall after clearing weeds. It’s best for repairing bare spots. Follow the app’s timing for your climate.
Products like lime, recommended based on soil test results. They’re best for lawns with pH or nutrient imbalances, especially in harsh climates. Wait for your soil test results before applying.

Sunday is worth it for DIY homeowners who want an easy, guided lawn plan with fewer harsh chemicals and helpful app reminders. Expect to supplement weed control, and be realistic in tough climates. Read the renewal, cancellation and return terms before ordering. If you want guaranteed results without effort, a professional lawn service may suit you better.

Sunday makes DIY lawn care genuinely approachable. Custom plans, a soil test, easy hose-end applications, a helpful app and an AI assistant explain why many homeowners love it, and some report their best lawns ever.
The trade-offs are inconsistent results, weak weed control quantities, rigid cancellation and return policies, a sometimes long-winded AI, and slow replies to complaints. Read the terms, budget for extras, and follow the plan closely. For hands-on homeowners, Sunday is a cautiously positive recommendation.
