## What is YardGuard?

Snap a photo. Know your weed. Remove it for good.

YardGuard identifies the weeds in your yard from a photo and gives you a step-by-step removal plan written for that exact species — not generic advice. Know whether to pull, dig, or treat, which tools actually work, and how to keep it from coming back.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Snap up to 3 photos of the weed
2. Get an instant ID with a confidence score
3. Follow species-specific removal steps
4. See the right tools and products for the job, with direct Amazon links

WHY YARDGUARD
• Accurate identification powered by professional-grade plant recognition
• Removal steps tailored to how each weed actually spreads — taproots, rhizomes, and tubers all need different tactics
• Prevention advice for both lawns and garden beds
• Your identification history, saved on your device

PLANT CARE MODE (PRO)
Flip the toggle and YardGuard works in reverse: identify a plant you WANT to keep and get a structured care guide — sun, water, soil, hardiness zone, fertilizing, pests, and propagation — plus the supplies it calls for.

FREE VS PRO
Free: 1 identification per week, with full removal steps and product recommendations.
YardGuard Pro: 30 identifications per month, Plant Care mode, multi-photo identification, confidence scores, and permanent history.

Whether it's dandelions in the lawn, bindweed strangling the fence line, or nutsedge popping through the mulch — YardGuard tells you exactly what you're fighting and how to win.
