Your lawn doesn't follow a calendar. It follows the weather. Lawn Command delivers daily, personalized lawn care tasks based on your actual conditions — not a generic schedule. Soil temperature, rainfall, growth potential, and 30+ data points drive every recommendation, tuned to your grass type and your local micro-climate. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most lawn apps give you a static calendar. Lawn Command recalculates every day based on real conditions — soil temp, rainfall, humidity, dewpoint, wind, and GDD accumulation. → When Growth Potential drops, your mowing interval extends automatically → When disease risk spikes, you'll get an alert before it's too late LAWN CONDITIONS DASHBOARD See your lawn's vital signs at a glance. The Conditions Grid shows Growth Mode, Water Balance, Disease Pressure, and Soil Temperature — updated daily with your local micro-climate data. HOME SCREEN WIDGET The same vital signs from the Conditions Grid — Growth Mode, Disease Pressure, Soil Temperature, and Water Balance — available as a home screen widget. Check your lawn's status without opening the app. GROWTH OUTLOOK Tap the weather card to see a 3-day forecast tuned for your lawn. Each day pairs weather conditions with Growth Potential so you can plan around what your grass is actually doing. SPRAY WINDOW FINDER Timing makes or breaks a spray. Lawn Command reads the forecast and gives you a live verdict — Good now, Wait, or Hold off — weighing wind, rain, and temperature so applications land when conditions are right, not lost to wind or washed away by rain. SMART COACHING NOTIFICATIONS Lawn Command doesn't wait for you to open the app. Get proactive alerts for season transitions, water deficits, growth surges, and ideal mowing windows — all timed to your local conditions. AI TURF DIAGNOSTICS Snap a photo of a problem area. The AI identifies weeds, disease, and pests — then recommends treatment with specific products and application rates. DAILY TASK ENGINE 30+ triggers generate personalized task cards every day: • Pre-emergent timing based on soil temperature • Fertilizer rates and product recommendations • Mowing height & interval adjustments • Watering reminders with precipitation tracking • Disease risk alerts with treatment plans RACHIO SMART CONTROLLER INTEGRATION (Pro) Connect your Rachio controller and every watering run flows into Lawn Command the moment your sprinklers shut off — zones, runtime, and inches applied. No manual logging: your water balance reflects exactly what your lawn received. WATERING INTELLIGENCE Log irrigation, track precipitation, and see a rolling 7-day water balance chart. Know exactly when your lawn needs water and how much. REPEAT APPLICATION Tap "Repeat" on any past treatment to pre-fill a new log instantly — same product, rate, method, and zones. Perfect for weekly spoon-feeding and recurring treatments. SEASON TRACKER Applied PGR or a wetting agent? The Season Tracker monitors each treatment's lifecycle using Growing Degree Days — a live progress bar, estimated reapply date, and escalating alerts as the product wears off. Never miss a reapplication window. DIGITAL SHED (Pro) Track your products — quantity remaining, expiration dates, application rates. Inventory updates automatically when you log treatments. INSIGHTS & ANALYTICS (Pro) Interactive charts for Growth Potential, GDD, soil temp, rainfall, dewpoint, and more. See trends over time and track your lawn's progress. MULTI-ZONE MAPPING (Pro) Draw up to 16 zones on satellite imagery. Each zone tracks its own grass type, shade level, and drainage conditions.
