Savuko teamHow we research and publish lawn guides
We build Grass Identifier and publish practical guides for people who want to know what is growing in their lawn and how to look after it.
Who writes the guides
Savuko, the small team that builds Grass Identifier: Lawn ID, writes and edits every guide. Most of our readers are homeowners with a patch of lawn that looks different from the rest, so we write for them rather than for turf professionals.
Where the facts come from
Each guide starts with one reader task, such as working out which grass a lawn is. We check plant facts against university extension services, such as Purdue, the University of Florida IFAS and the University of Illinois, and list the sources at the end of each article.
Grass and weed traits are presented as facts. Care advice gives typical ranges, because the right mowing height, water and fertilizer depend on your climate, soil and grass variety. For pesticides we point you to the product label and your local extension office.

We use app screenshots in product areas and properly licensed photography, recorded in our image source list.
Keeping guides accurate
The date at the top of a guide changes when its advice changes. If two guides start to cover the same question, we fold them into one so you never find two answers that disagree.
