Two ways. Finish setup and pick Explore to poke around a sample lawn for 7 days with no account at all. Anything you log while exploring comes with you if you sign up. After that, a subscription starts with a 30-day free trial.

Australia only, for now. The weather comes from the Bureau of Meteorology for your postcode, so outside Australia there’s nothing for it to look up.

iPhone only at the moment. There’s no Android version.... yet. Pop your email on the waitlist to register your interest though!

No. LawnDash takes the day’s high and low for your postcode and does the maths overnight. If you do have an outdoor sensor, you can log your own readings, or send them automatically from Home Assistant.

Pick Simple mode: log jobs, get reminders, done. The GDD tuning and the rest of the nerdy stuff sit in Advanced, and you can switch between them in Profile at any time.

Growing degree days (GDD) add up how much warmth your lawn has had above a base temperature (10°C by default). Grass grows on heat, not on the calendar, so GDD is a better guide than “every six weeks” for when to reapply things like PGR, fertiliser and pre-emergent.

Daily figures come from the Bureau of Meteorology via WillyWeather for your postcode. When you sign up, LawnDash backfills the last month from Apple Weather so your GDD count is already running on day one.

Yes, both are in Profile under GDD Settings (Advanced mode). Set the threshold and LawnDash warns you when your accumulated GDD gets there.

Usually when you apply a PGR, since that’s what the count is timing. When you log one, LawnDash asks whether to start the count over from that day. You can also reset it by hand from the Log screen.

Ready-made programmes of jobs for the growing season or the off-season. Pick one, choose which days you do lawn work and whether it covers the whole lawn or one zone, and its jobs land on your Horizon calendar as reminders. Remove the plan and its reminders go with it. Anything you’ve already logged stays.

Push notification, email or Telegram, in any combination. Turn on whichever you like in Profile. For Telegram you’ll need your own bot token and chat ID.

Yes. Set any job to repeat every so many days, and optionally only during your growing season, so you’re not told to mow in July.

Tell LawnDash the dates and it skips your watering days between them.

Yes, for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen: your accumulated GDD, the last week of rain and watering, your next job, or the whole Timeline summary in one large widget.

Send us a link to it from the Products screen. We’ll add it with its label rates, and you’ll get a message when it’s in.

Give each zone its grass type. Where a product’s label rate differs by species, the dose uses the right one, and if a product isn’t suitable for your grass, LawnDash warns you before you mix it.

Yes. Save a mix you use often as a recipe, and the dose sheet works out every product in it for the zone or area you choose.

59 dollarydoos (A$59) a year, after a 30-day free trial. Why not free? Weather data and hosting infrastructure isn’t free, and we’d rather charge a fair price than show you ads or sell your details.

It stays put. If you subscribe again later, you pick up exactly where you left off.

Both are in Profile, under Your data. Export a copy gives you everything LawnDash holds about you as one file, and Delete account removes it all. More in our privacy policy.
