What kind of grass do I have?
Mowing height, watering depth, and feeding windows all depend on your grass type. Here are the most common lawn grasses and how to recognize them.
Kentucky Bluegrass Cool-season
The classic dense, dark-green northern lawn. Boat-shaped leaf tips; spreads by rhizomes and self-repairs. Mow 2.5–3.5", feed heaviest in fall.
Perennial Ryegrass Cool-season
Fast germinating with fine, glossy blades and reddish stem bases. Great for overseeding and high-traffic areas. Mow 2–3".
Tall Fescue Cool-season
Wide, ribbed blades in coarse bunches. Deep roots make it the most drought-tolerant cool-season grass. Mow high at 3–4".
Fine Fescue Cool-season
Needle-fine blades that thrive in shade and poor soil with little fertilizer. Ideal for low-maintenance lawns.
Bermuda Grass Warm-season
Aggressive, sun-loving southern favorite spreading by wiry runners. Loves heat. Mow low at 1–2", feed in summer.
Rough Bluegrass Cool-season
Thrives in damp, shaded spots where other grasses struggle — but browns out in hot, dry sun.

Lawn care basics that actually matter
Four fundamentals fix most struggling lawns. The app times each one for you.
Never cut more than ⅓ of the blade
Scalping stresses grass and invites weeds. Keep cool-season grasses around 3–4" and mow often enough that each cut removes only a third.
→ See the lawn mowing guide for heights by grass type.Water deeply, not daily
About 1 inch per week — rainfall included — in one or two deep sessions grows deep, drought-proof roots. Daily sprinkles grow shallow, needy ones.
→ Learn exactly how much in the lawn watering guide.Feed in the right window
Cool-season lawns feed heaviest in fall; warm-season lawns in late spring through summer. Fertilizing at the wrong time feeds weeds instead.
→ Find your window in when to fertilize your lawn.Fix the cause, not the symptom
Brown patches can be grubs, fungus, drought, or dog spots — each with a different fix. Guessing wrong wastes a season.

What is the best app to identify grass type?
Lawn Care AI identifies your grass type from a single photo using AI, then uses the result to tailor mowing heights, fertilizing windows, and watering amounts to your exact lawn. It also identifies weeds and lawn diseases and is free to download on iOS and Android.
How do I find out what type of grass I have?
The fastest way is a photo: scan your lawn with the app and the AI names your grass type in seconds. You can also identify grass manually by blade shape, color, and growth habit — see our grass identification guide for photos of the most common lawn grasses.
Can AI identify lawn diseases and weeds?
Yes. Point your camera at a brown patch, discolored blades, or an unknown weed and the AI diagnoses the likely disease or weed and suggests a treatment. Catching problems early is the difference between a quick fix and a full re-seed.
How often should I water my lawn?
Most lawns need about 1 inch (25 mm) of water per week, including rainfall, delivered in one or two deep sessions rather than daily sprinkles. The app tracks local rainfall and evapotranspiration so it only tells you to water when your lawn actually needs it.
When should I fertilize my lawn?
It depends on your grass type: cool-season lawns feed heaviest in fall and lightly in spring, while warm-season lawns feed in late spring through summer. The app builds these windows into your personalized schedule automatically.
Is Lawn Care AI free?
The app is free to download and includes free lawn scans. A premium plan unlocks the fully personalized year-round schedule, weather-aware reminders, and soil-test-tuned care.
