Your lawn care schedule — and the reason behind every task.

YardLedger has a free plan that lets you log unlimited care events, build a personalized schedule, and use the calendar and timeline views — no credit card required. Paid plans add calendar sync, smart weather alerts, more properties and photos, and extra Yard Assistant credits.

YardLedger works for your grass type: it tailors your plan to your specific grass — warm-season types like Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine, and cool-season types like Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass — so feeding, mowing, and weed-control timing match how your lawn actually grows.

YardLedger does account for your region and climate. Your schedule starts from your grass type and long-term freeze normals for your area — your USDA hardiness zone is an adaptation check and a coarse index into those normals, not the timing engine on its own — and your watering guidance uses recent rainfall and the local forecast. As a result, the timing shifts with your climate instead of following a generic national calendar. Dates are planning estimates: what the lawn is actually doing, and the product label, still come first.

YardLedger tells you when to apply pre-emergent: it flags the pre-emergent and weed-control window for your grass type and region before crabgrass and other weeds break through, and reminds you when it's time to act.

YardLedger syncs your schedule to your calendar on the Plus plan and above. Scheduled tasks can sync to Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar (iCal), so your lawn plan lives alongside the rest of your week.

YardLedger offers two things you can check rather than take on trust. First, you stay in control: the Yard Assistant proposes, and nothing it proposes is added to your schedule until you approve it. Second, the guidance names its sources — NOAA National Weather Service and Open-Meteo for weather, USDA SSURGO for your soil, and the USDA hardiness-zone map for your region — each one linked at the top of this page and on our About page, so you can open it and check for yourself. We also don't sell fertilizer, run affiliate links, or take a cut of anything you buy, so nothing in your plan is there because it earns us money.

The Yard Assistant works to conservative nitrogen planning defaults — per-application figures and grass-specific annual ranges rather than one blanket number — and explains the reasoning behind a plan. It proposes; you approve every task before anything is scheduled, and a plan that would schedule a feeding inside an earlier product's release window is flagged for you to review. The product label is always the authoritative instruction, and the assistant keeps pointing you back to it.
