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.
