How it works
Four steps from confused to confident
Yard Inspector organizes what you are seeing so the next action is obvious.
Step 1
Photograph the problem
Snap the patch, the whole yard, or a close up of the blades. More angles means better context.
Step 2
Answer a few questions
Watering habits, sun exposure, recent treatments, and where you live. Nothing technical.
Step 3
Get possible causes
A ranked shortlist of what is most likely going on, with what to check to confirm it.
Step 4
Follow a simple plan
Practical next steps in plain language, sized to the season and your grass type.
Why homeowners like it

Grass type guidance
Narrows down what you are likely growing and identifies when more information is needed.
Honest about uncertainty
Results are framed as possibilities to check, never as a guaranteed diagnosis.
Season appropriate advice
Guidance reflects your climate and the time of year instead of generic lawn tips.
