Makes lawn care enjoyable

"I've been taking care of my lawn with this program since 2022 and I really love it. My lawn looks spectacular and I can't wait for my next soil test to restart the program. The only issue I've had is adding certain products like GreeneEfFect and Hydretain. When I try to add them, it doesn't let me; it's as if the app gets blocked. Thank you Yardmastery for the time and dedication and for providing a program tailored to our needs. Thanks."

Not bad

A little buggy. Occasionally it will show no calendar, you have to go back a year, then forward a year to get it to show up again. Store integration is helpful, but a little confusing, even after purchasing the item remains in your cart.

Like the journal, but if you journal 2 products in the same day only 1 shows up. Was a little confused about that at first, but can see they’re both listed, just only 1 shows

Looking forward to completing the year and seeing my grass health get better.

Good app!

Love this app. Helps keep me on track of what I have done in the TTTF lawn. After starting with Allyn in 2016 watching his videos, my lawn got better and better but I forgot at times what I did and what I threw down. The app changed all that. Now I can look back over the past year and see exactly what I have done along with the pictures. Now even the lawn pros who do my neighbor’s lawns stop and gawk. I just turn them on to the Lawn Care Nut movement! Ha!

Very helpful

Ive always wanted a maintained lawn. Im very busy like many with work, kids, and other obligations. I would try to remember to mow on the weekends and maybe buy a bag of fertilizer here and there when at a big box store, but I was never consistent. Once I started using this app and purchasing my needs through it, my yard has never been better. It still has a ways to go after many years of unintentional neglect and insane Texas summers, but Im proud to say Ive kept up in fertilizing, mowing and tailoring my lawns exact needs using this app.

Beautiful Yard

We moved into our current home 10 months ago and the previous owner did not take care of their lawn. Instead of hiring a service we decided to purchase all the supplies we needed from The Lawn Care Nut. What a difference! We have the best looking yard on our street! Thank you so much for all the tips and the calendar is a great help!

Yard mastery

Thanks for the help with your experience. I found you on U Tube I’m trying to dominate my small community in So. Cal. Actually I just want a healthy lawn. Through you I found John Perry who I also enjoy. I started last October I’m not trilled yet with my yard but I’m being patient I look forward to the future if I can afford $ it. I’m being dominated by a neighbor who uses Vigaro 24-0-0 ? His lawn is perfect year round. I’m stumped. I hope you keep making videos I enjoy seeing you in the lawn ! Thanks Don

Works when it wants to

I’ve had this app for at least a year and my account has always stayed signed in. Out of the blue it now signs me out every time I close the app. In addition to this, the password field glitches with auto fill and it’s very frustrating trying to get the “login” button to light up/work. The way around this is to put a space at the end of my password then delete that space.

Custom program locked behind a soft paywall

If I downloaded this right now, I will definitely give this a lower rating. But to give a bit of credit for the previous functions, I am keeping this at 3 stars.

Right now, the custom program is locked until you purchase a soil testing kit that’s only from Yard Mastery. No way to link other soil testing that you got somewhere else. It doesn’t matter if you purchased fertilizers, biostims that have been recommended before. So now, it doesn’t recommend anything until you spend $30 for their kit. It’s not like I’m freeloading, the app already made me purchase a couple of stuff to give oomph to my lawn.

I guess I’ll start transitioning to a different app for keeping track of my applications. Kinda disappointed on the direction this app is going.

Response from developer

The app still provides a custom program. You just wont see any program steps to do to your lawn in the winter months. That would be Dec 10 - Jan 25 for everyone. We provide a customized lawn program based on the data you give us. Go to the menu -> settings -> lawn settings and set your preferences. The more data you give us the more we can customize your lawn program. Soil tests are just another data point. If you don't want to buy a soil test then don't. Keep enjoying the free program we give you. It works great.

Helpful but still frustrating…

While I know it’s not possible to add every lawn product on the market it would be nice to at least include all the products sold on the YardMastery site. Added recent Sanctuary and Simple Lawn Solutions brands but sell Ecologel TurfPlex and MultiPurpose and have yet to include in the app.

Makes lawn care fun!

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.
