Your yard has more in it than it's currently showing you. The right care, at the right time, is the difference between surviving and thriving.

Getting started feels more like exploring your yard with fresh eyes — discovering what you have, where it grows, and what it needs. Start with one plant or one corner. Every plant you add gets its own care track, and the more of your yard you map, the more Yard Routine can do for you.

How It
Works.

Set up your yard once — your zone, your conditions, your plants — and let Yard Routine handle the rest. The more you put in, the more it gives back.

01
Map Your Yard

Define the areas of your yard — front berm, back garden, shaded corner — and set conditions once. Every plant you add to an area inherits its lighting, soil, drainage, and watering automatically.

02
Check Before You Plant

Look up any plant before you buy it. Yard Routine tells you if it's a good fit for your zone and conditions — warning you off bad choices and flagging easy wins before you spend a dollar.

03
Identify Your Plants

Photograph what's already growing or search by name. Every plant gets its own dedicated care track, calibrated to the area it lives in.

04
Get a Personalized Care Plan

We tell you exactly when to trim, deadhead, fertilize, and apply pest control — all specific to each plant, each area, and your hardiness zone.

05
Work From One Monthly Checklist

Every care task across every plant and every area rolls into a single prioritized monthly checklist. Always know what needs doing and why it matters.

06
Check It Off and Watch It Thrive

Track task completion as you go. No guessing what you've done, no keeping it in your head. More blooms, berries, and clarity await.

The Founders

Why we built this

Yard Routine started at our own house. I watched my wife Amy going around our yard snapping photos, uploading them to Google, then feeding plant names into ChatGPT trying to figure out when to fertilize, what needed pruning, and what to water. The advice was generic, our spreadsheets were a mess, and half of what was growing was still a mystery. I built this so she wouldn't have to guess anymore. Two years of hauling soil, digging french drains with the kids, and getting to know every nursery in town went into making it something that would actually work in a real yard.

Yard Care Made Simple

This app takes all the guesswork out of gardening! It is so easy to navigate. I began by labeling my different garden areas which sets the foundation for information on growing techniques. It's as simple as taking a picture of your plant for the program to identify...

Simple but powerful

I have a large variety of trees and shrubs in my backyard. Maintenance can be complex. This has been a fantastic tool to simplify and organize the entire care routine. I no longer have to worry about forgetting some of the mid winter and early spring steps needed for some of our trees.

It taught me my plants

I didn't know how to identify or care for yard plants. This app helped me identify what's in my yard and what it needs. Great for novices like me and would likely be good to help experts keep organized.
