TurfWise

Turfwise is a lawn-care app built for Canada, where most cosmetic pesticides are banned and every American lawn app tells you to buy something you cannot. It works the other way round. Instead of a spray, it builds a thick lawn: the right cut height, overseeding when the soil is actually ready, feeding at the right moment, and the physical checks that settle a problem before you buy anything, and when you need chemicals it recommends the legal ones - with the efficacy compared to other versions not available here. THE GROUND DECIDES, NOT THE DATE Every seasonal job is gated on a measured soil temperature from a weather station on your street, with the week's forecast shown so you know when it will open. A date says "start now". Turfwise says "not yet, and here is why". A PLAN THAT IS YOURS Three questions on first launch — where your lawn is, what you want from it, what is bothering you — and you have a plan in order, each job saying why it is there in your words. Tell it how a job went and the plan adjusts. If something did not work, it stops suggesting it and looks for the real cause. PHOTOGRAPH IT Point the camera at a weed, a patch, or the whole lawn. Turfwise names what it sees, ranks the likely causes, and gives you the options that are legal in your province, with the catch on each. When a two-minute test in the yard would settle it — a screwdriver in the ground, a can of soapy water — it shows you how. ASK ANYTHING The assistant knows your lawn's history: what you have done, what you measured, what did not work. Answers are about your lawn, not a lawn. ALSO INCLUDES • Trace your lawn on satellite for its size, so every rate becomes an amount for your spreader • A watering ledger that turns rain and forecast into minutes on your own system • 72 weeds, 26 problems, 7 physical checks, 105 products from Health Canada's registry, filtered by province • Optional sprinkler timer control (Rachio, Netro, Orbit B-hyve) • Local reminders for check-backs and the morning the ground opens Turfwise carries Ontario's and Nova Scotia's allowable lists and the federal rules elsewhere. Municipal by-laws vary and are not included; confirm anything that matters before you buy.
