Common questions
Are the tools free to use?
Yes — every calculator and finder here is free and needs no account. Enter your details and get an answer on the spot.
Which tool should I start with?
If you don’t yet know what to plant, start with the Lawn Finder. If you’ve chosen a seed and need quantities, use the seed calculator; to time sowing, the planting-date calculator.
How accurate are the seeding-rate and cost numbers?
They use standard per-area seeding rates and your inputs (area, zone, product), so they’re a reliable planning estimate. Always check the exact rate on the product page before buying.
Do the savings calculators reflect real figures?
The water, mowing and nitrogen savings tools compare a conventional lawn to a low-input one using typical usage figures — useful for a realistic before/after, not a guarantee for every yard.
