Welcome to Lawnova
A new way to care for your lawn — personalised guides, weather-aware timing, and AI-powered identification, all in one place.
If you've ever stood in front of your lawn wondering whether you should mow, fertilise, or do something about that one suspiciously green patch — you're not alone. Most lawn advice online is generic, US-focused, or buried in 90-minute YouTube videos when all you wanted was a yes-or-no answer.
Lawnova is a different take.
What Lawnova does
Lawnova personalises lawn care to your exact situation:
- Your grass type — we cover the major Australian varieties (Sir Walter Buffalo, Couch, Kikuyu, Zoysia, and more) plus most common types in NZ, UK, US, ZA, and Canada
- Your region — care advice changes dramatically between Sydney and Hobart
- Your weather — we pull a 7-day forecast and adjust your task timing accordingly
- Your local weeds — snap a photo, our AI identifies the weed and recommends a treatment that's safe for your specific grass type
It's a Progressive Web App, which means you can add it to your phone's home screen and it works like a native app — no App Store, no download.

Happy mowing.
