01 · MapYour lawn's real square footageDraw it on satellite or walk it with GPS — beds, drive and patio trimmed out. Seed and feeding are priced per 1,000 sq ft, so this number is everything. Already mapped? It's done.
02 · MarkThe trouble spots, on the mapThe shady corner, the dog's spot, where water sits, the worn path — pins on your map, each with its own advice.
03 · AnswerThree quick questionsWhat grass it is, what's bugging it, and what you're hoping for. The rest — sun and soil, what you've done, how you mow — waits inside the report, when you want it.
04 · ReportYour free, printable Zippy Lawn Care ReportWhat to do, in order: seed by the pound, feeding by your state's rules, the windows for your climate — and when the mower goes back on. Print it, share it with a link, and build your own plan from its suggestions.

Why it's a Zippy lawn care report

It integrates directly with your robotic lawn mower map. One map, both plans. The report reads the same square footage and zones your mower does, the spots you mark show on it, and your mowing schedule and your lawn care calendar live in the same place.
Up to 25% of your lawn's fertilization from micro-clippings. A robot cuts a few millimetres every day or two. The clippings are too small to see, break down in days, and return their nitrogen to the roots. The report counts that against your feeding.
Mowing is lawn care. Your mowing plan follows your goals. New seed, fresh sod, a struggling lawn, a lawn you want thicker — each wants a different height and rhythm. The report ends on your mowing plan and hands it to your robot's schedule.
Daily mowing is weed control. Weeds that flower above the cutting height can't reseed under a daily cut, and broadleaf weeds lose to grass that's thriving. A crabgrass patch dies in its own zone cut under an inch every day — the report prints the setup.
A free visual soil check, from your photos. Send a few photos and the report reads what a photo can show — the color and texture of bare soil, moss and puddles that point to damp or acidic ground, thinning, weeds — and says what it can't: pH and nutrients still need the $15 lab kit. Preliminary, and honest about it.
Printable, shareable — the starting point for the conversation. Print it or save it as a PDF, share it with a link (your contact details stay private), and build your own plan from its suggestions — pick the ones you'll do, in your order, with whose job each one is: yours, the robot's, or both.

Questions people ask

What is the Zippy Lawn Care Report?

A free report on what to do for your lawn, in what order, built off a map of it: seed by the pound for your grass and goal, feeding by your state's rules, the seeding and aeration windows for your climate, advice for every trouble spot you mark, and the mowing plan that follows — including when a robot mower goes back on after seeding. It saves to a free account, so it remembers what you did and what's next.

How can I improve my lawn health?

Usually with three things that cost little: cut higher and more often with sharp blades, seed in the right window (fall for most lawns), and feed in the right season at the right amount for your grass. Most of what's wrong with a lawn — weeds, thin spots, brown patches — is a symptom of one of those being off. The report tells you which, for your lawn.

Do I need a robot mower to use it?

No. The report works for any lawn. If you have a robot — or are getting one — it integrates with the same map: the mowing plan lands on your robot's schedule, it tells the robot when to stay docked around seeding, and it counts the fertilizer a daily micro-clipping cut gives back.

Is the visual soil check a real soil test?

No, and the report says so. Send photos and it reads what a photo can show — the color and texture of bare soil (dark and crumbly, pale and gritty, or orange and cracked), moss and puddles that point to damp or acidic ground, thinning, weeds — as a preliminary visual read. What a photo can't measure is pH and nutrients: that's a $15–30 kit from your county extension lab, and it's on the report's shopping list until you've had one done.

Can I print or share the report?

Yes. One button prints it or saves it as a PDF; another makes a share link anyone can open — a spouse, a landscaper, us on the call — showing the report but never your contact details. And you can build your own plan from it: pick the suggestions you'll actually do, put them in your order, and they print first with whose job each one is.

What should I do first?

Find out what's actually wrong. Tap the tiles above for what you see, map the lawn, mark the trouble spots, and the report writes the order: usually the cut height and the blades today, the seeding window this fall, then feeding in season. It's honest about what a tap or a photo can't tell — the soil test is still a $15 kit from your county extension office.

When is the best time to seed a lawn?

Late August to October for fescue, bluegrass and rye (September onward in the transition zone), and late spring once the soil holds 65–75°F for Bermuda, zoysia and centipede. The report prints your window; the seed calculator sizes the pounds and bags.

Is this a lawn care service?

No. We sell, install and service robot mowers — we don't do lawn care, and the report is free. It's educational and honest: what to buy and when, and it ends where we start, on the mowing.

Where the numbers come from: seeding and feeding rates are the ranges university extension services publish per 1,000 sq ft; state fertilizer rules follow each state's lawn-fertilizer law; germination and soil temperatures are seed-industry norms. Mowing heights are the same numbers the app prints for every grass.
