YardStick

Your lawn and garden, perfectly maintained. Track every mow, feed and treat. Manage plants, plan with companion planting and stay ahead with frost alerts and calendars.

There's something deeply satisfying about a perfectly maintained lawn or a thriving garden. The problem is keeping track of everything — when you last mowed, whether the fertilizer is due, which plants need watering, what to plant next to your tomatoes. YardStick was built for people who take their outdoor spaces seriously, and want one place to track it all.

YOUR LAWN, ALWAYS ON SCHEDULE Whether you're managing a single backyard or multiple zones, YardStick keeps your lawn care on track. Log every mow, watering and weed treatment. Track multiple fertilizer blends and soil amendments each on their own schedule, with a visual draining pill that shows exactly how far through your cycle you are at a glance. When it's time to act, you'll know — and when you've done the work, logging it takes one tap. Set up overseeding, aeration and dethatching schedules so seasonal tasks never sneak up on you. Connect your Ecowitt weather station and YardStick will automatically log your lawn as watered when weekly rainfall hits the 1 inch threshold — because why log it manually when the sky already did the work?

YOUR GARDEN, DEEPLY UNDERSTOOD For plant lovers, YardStick goes far beyond a simple log. Track every plant you grow — vegetables, herbs, fruits, flowers, trees and more — with fertilizing schedules, watering history, sun profiles, location types and progress photos. The feeding pill shows how fresh your last fertilization was and goes orange and red as the next one approaches. Planning to start seeds indoors before the season? Set your seed start date and outdoor planting date and YardStick shows a countdown timeline right on the plant card so you never miss the window. The companion planting guide helps you grow smarter. Search any plant and instantly see which neighbours help it thrive — which ones repel pests, improve flavour, attract pollinators — and which ones to keep far away. Found a good companion you want to grow? Add it straight to a plant shopping list without leaving the screen.

PLAN AHEAD WITH THE GARDEN CALENDAR The Garden Calendar brings everything together in one view. See upcoming fertilizing dates for your plants, yard treatments, amendments and scheduled ground work across the next 60 days. Tap any day to see what's due. Never walk outside wondering what needed doing last week.

FROST WARNINGS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE When frost is expected overnight, YardStick puts a warning banner right at the top of your plants list so you see it the moment you open the app — with enough time to bring sensitive plants in or cover what needs protecting.
