Yard Mastery Lawn Care App

First time post! I have been watching lawn care nut videos since you moved to Florida. I’m from Ohio, moved here in 2010 and knew nothing about St. Augustine grass but I have always loved nice lawns. It’s been a tough learning experience to deal with Saint Augustine grass. I’ve had to re-sod different parts of my lawn many times. And each problem that developed, grubs, chinch bugs, weed control, types of weeds, and many others, I learned from the lawn care nut’s videos how to figure out what problems I have and how to treat them and even was able to purchase many of the products from him to correct it. The FREE app is an amazing tool! The app gives homeowners so much helpful information to easily calculate the proper amount of product for each section of your lawn that is color-coded and broke down into square footage. Too easy! Also tells you when and what to apply on your lawn throughout the year Too easy! JT Oxford LCN

I really enjoy taking care of my yard and this app is a big reason why. There are so many lawn products and maintenance plans available that it’s difficult for the average DIYer to figure things out. I used to hire professionals, but now with guidance I am comfortable doing it on my own. I have a few suggestions to improve the app. It would great to have a calculator built in that would give you the quantities of product you need based on ounces or pounds per square foot. For example, if you needed 3 ounces per 1000 square foot, you could input the square footage and the app would give you how many ounces or milliliters you need. The calculator could be manual or even better it could be calculated automatically when a user taps “complete this step.” Also, it would be nice to have the ability to submit questions to a forum. I have questions at times but don’t have a place to ask. One thing I wonder is that I have a large yard but don’t have money to install an irrigation system and the water pressure where I live is too low to set up multiple sprinklers. Am I wasting money fertilizing when I know my grass will brown up and go dormant during a hot summer? Just a few ideas for you to consider, but overall a great app.

I really do enjoy the idea behind this app, a calendar tab on the bottom would be useful so that you could actually see the days laid out instead of just saying you have X amount of days til the next app. Also adding in over seeding in the journal portion, you would just to have they type of seed thrown down. Watering times and days would also be helpful so you remember what days your watering, if it rained, if you changed the length of watering time due to drought conditions. Mowing schedule would be awesome as well, and all these come back to the calendar tab which you could access and see all of your info everyday. Just designate colored dots or lines or something for each ex: green=mow; blue=watering; yellow=fert; red=weed killer; etc. then you choose a day and it pulls up what’s going on or what is scheduled for that day. Another feature that would be nice is to be able to have separate sections of your lawn. Like the front and back yard, or side yard. For example if you put down grass seed in your side lawn and did not in your front lawn but did fertilize the front the same day you seeded. The next up tile would be different times for each section.
