How does Lawnlytic create a personalised AI lawn care plan?

Answer a few simple questions about your lawn's size, condition and goals. Our AI builds a tailored month-by-month care calendar based on your grass type, soil conditions and UK climate — it takes less than two minutes.

When is the best time to scarify a lawn in the UK?

The best time to scarify your lawn in the UK is autumn — ideally September to October. Scarifying removes thatch (old clippings, moss and debris) so water and air can reach the roots. Your lawn may look rough afterwards but will recover well. Lawnlytic schedules scarifying into your personalised plan at the optimal time.

When should I overseed my lawn in the UK?

Early autumn (September–October) is the ideal time to overseed or re-seed your UK lawn, as the soil is still warm and rainfall increases. Mid-spring is also suitable. Overseeding after scarifying gives the best results as seed makes direct contact with soil. Lawnlytic includes overseeding in your care plan.

How do I remove moss from my lawn UK?

Synthetic mosskillers aren't necessary — non-chemical methods are highly effective. Scarify in autumn (October–November) to remove moss, improve drainage by aerating, reduce shade by pruning, and avoid mowing too low. Bacteria-based products can also help. Lawnlytic's AI creates a personalised moss management plan.

When is the best time to aerate a lawn in the UK?

Aerate your UK lawn in autumn (September–October). For most lawns, aerating every two to three years is sufficient. On clay or waterlogged soil, use a hollow-tine aerator to relieve compaction and improve drainage. Follow up with top-dressing. Lawnlytic schedules aeration based on your soil type.

When is the best time to feed a lawn in the UK?

Most lawns grow well without feeding. If needed, apply a spring/summer lawn fertiliser once in mid-spring (late March–April). Only reapply if the lawn still looks poor, and not beyond August. A separate autumn feed can encourage root growth. Lawnlytic schedules feeds only when your lawn needs them.

Why is my lawn turning brown or yellow?

Common causes include drought stress, over-fertilising, compacted soil, fungal disease (like red thread or fusarium), or pet urine. Lawnlytic's AI chatbot can diagnose your specific problem — just describe the symptoms or upload a photo.

How do I fix a patchy lawn in the UK?

Rake out dead material, loosen the soil with a fork, scatter seed and cover lightly with top-dressing. Keep moist for 2–3 weeks. For badly damaged areas, consider a full lawn renovation. Lawnlytic creates a step-by-step repair plan personalised to your lawn's condition.

Can Lawnlytic identify weeds in my lawn?

Yes! Snap a photo of any weed, bare patch or grass issue and our AI will identify it and recommend the best treatment. Our AI weed identification works for common UK weeds including dandelions, clover, speedwell, buttercups, daisies and more.
