Welcome to Lawnova

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.

Why it's free during early access

We're in early access. Everything is free while we collect feedback. Founding members will get a discounted rate when paid plans launch, and a permanent badge on their profile.

If you've got a lawn you're trying to figure out, you can sign up here and be running through onboarding in about two minutes.

What's next on this blog

We'll be publishing in-depth guides on:

• Sir Walter, Sapphire, Palmetto, and other Buffalo varieties
• How to identify common Australian weeds (bindii, clover, paspalum, oxalis)
• Seasonal care month-by-month for each major region
• Fertilising mistakes that ruin your lawn
• Wetting agents, dethatching, scarifying — when each is actually worth it

If there's a topic you want us to cover, the Lawnova chat feature is the fastest way to suggest one.

Happy mowing.
