Lawn size by zone, bags to buy, a feeding calendar with reminders, a spread log.
Most lawns are not one rectangle. There is the front yard, the back yard, the strip along the side, a house and a driveway in the middle. Each part needs its own number of bags, its own watering time, and a nudge when it is time to feed. Lawn Calc keeps all of that in one place. ▬ YOUR LAWN, ZONE BY ZONE • Trace each zone on the satellite photo, from the couch: front yard, back yard, side yard. • Draw the house, the driveway and the patio as holes. They come out of the square footage. • Already know a size? Type it in. Prefer to walk the edge? The GPS walk is in the lawn plan's menu. • The total for the whole lawn, in square feet or acres, or in square meters. • See the date of the satellite photo, and switch to an older year when trees hide the edge. ▬ A FEEDING CALENDAR THAT REMINDS YOU • Start from a typical five-step program: crabgrass preventer, early spring feeding, weed and feed, grub control, fall feeding. • Change every date, every product, every rate. Add your own steps. • A reminder on the morning of each step, with the product, the number of bags and your spreader setting. • A step whose date has already passed this year starts next year. ▬ HOW MANY BAGS • Copy the rate from your bag, in lb per 1,000 sq ft, and the bag size. • Each zone gets its pounds; the bags are counted on the whole lawn: a bag opened in front is finished in back. • Give one zone its own rate, for shade or overseeding. • Grass seed, lime, sod rolls and topdressing in the Quantities screen, with your prices if you want a total. • The presets are common label rates, not recommendations. The app never tells you which product to buy. ▬ HOW LONG TO WATER • Enter your sprinkler's precipitation rate in inches per hour, or its flow in gallons per minute. • Choose the water you want each week, 1 inch by default, rain included, and how many times you water. • Each zone gets its minutes per watering. • Do not know the rate? The app explains the can test: a few cans on the lawn, 15 minutes, average depth times 4. ▬ A LOG OF WHAT YOU SPREAD • Tap “I spread it”, or Done on the reminder: product, zones and pounds are already filled in. • Or note anything by hand: date, zones, product, quantity, a comment. • The applications of the year and the pounds spread, for the whole lawn or one zone. • The year's totals by product and by zone. ▬ HONEST NUMBERS • A drawing is as good as the photo under it, and a GPS walk shows its margin as a ± figure. Right for buying bags, not a property survey. • Export a PDF with the lawn drawn to scale and the quantities, or share it as an image. ▬ NO ACCOUNT, NO SUBSCRIPTION • Nothing to sign up for. • A single purchase removes the ads for good. • Your zones, calendar and log stay on your phone. A backup is a file you keep. Questions or ideas: contact@ludiccraft.com
