Reel Rollers is the smart lawn care platform built for reel mower owners and turf enthusiasts who want a proper lawn — not a guess. Most apps remind you to mow every 7 days. Grass doesn't grow on a schedule; it grows on heat. Reel Rollers watches the real temperature data for your exact location, accumulates Growing Degree Days (GDD) for your specific grass species, and tells you precisely when to cut — so you keep a tight, healthy, striped lawn without scalping or falling behind. MOW AT THE RIGHT TIME • GDD-based cut timing tuned to bermuda, zoysia, fescue, and 10+ species • Live weather for your address — not a regional average • Rain-delay detection holds your mow window automatically • Dormancy detection pauses tracking when your grass stops growing WEATHER BUILT FOR TURF • 7-day forecast with a daily mow-suitability read • Rainfall totals vs. your weekly water budget, so you know when to irrigate • Soil temperature for pre-emergent and PGR timing • Spray-condition windows (dry, calm, in the right temp range) A FULL-SEASON PROGRAM • Pre-emergent, fertilizer, iron, and PGR timing on your real calendar • Per-lawn programs — every yard gets its own plan • Log an application and it checks the task off automatically MAP YOUR LAWN • Draw your yard on the map for accurate square footage • Group and manage multiple properties and zones YOUR GARAGE & SHED • Track mowers, trimmers, blowers, sprayers, and spreaders • Backlap and maintenance reminders based on hours of use • A chemical shed with a smart tank-mix and fertilizer-rate calculator (exact rates, real N-P-K math) FIND A REEL MOWER PRO • A directory of specialists who actually service reel mowers — searchable by location and service Core features are free.
