Care tip
Water deeply about once a week in summer heat, and feed mostly in fall, when cool-season grass builds roots.
Snap a patch of lawn, a single weed or a clump of clover. You get the likely grass or weed, how confident the match is and the look-alikes worth ruling out.
Chat about the scan you just took. Why the patches are brown, how to get rid of clover, when to overseed and how short to mow.
Each scan is saved with its photo, so you can watch a problem spot over the season and see whether your fix is working.
Scan the lawn, read the care report, ask follow-up questions and keep every scan in one history.
The free web grass identifier gives you one scan a day, no sign-up. Upload a photo and see the likely grass, weeds and lawn problems.

Almost every lawn grass belongs to one of two groups. Knowing which one you have narrows the answer to a handful of grasses and decides when to mow, water and feed.
Cool-season grasses
Grow most in spring and fall. Common in the northern U.S., Canada and northern Europe.
Warm-season grasses
Grow most in summer heat and turn tan after the first frost. Common in the southern U.S. and warm climates.
Live in the transition zone, between the two climates? Your lawn may be a mix of both groups.
