Think you already know your grass?
Compare your lawn against the guides for the grass types we identify most often. Each one has reference photos plus its own mowing, watering, fertilizer, and seasonal calendar.
Bermudagrass
The most popular warm-season grass in America. Aggressive, heat-loving, and incredibly durable for high-traffic southern lawns.
Tall Fescue
A tough, drought-tolerant cool-season grass with deep roots. Excellent for transition zones and low-maintenance lawns.
Zoysiagrass
A dense, carpet-like warm-season grass with excellent cold tolerance for its class. Slow to establish but low-maintenance once mature.
St. Augustinegrass
A broad-bladed, shade-tolerant warm-season grass dominant in the Gulf Coast and Florida. Lush and tropical-looking.
Centipede Grass
The "lazy man's grass," a low-maintenance, slow-growing warm-season option that thrives in acidic soils with minimal fertilization.
Common questions
What people ask when they're trying to figure out their grass.
How can I tell what kind of grass I have?
The fastest way is to photograph a single blade up close and let our identifier match it — you get the grass type, a confidence score, and a starter care plan in about 10 seconds. If you'd rather check by hand, look at blade width, the tip shape, how the new leaf is folded or rolled in the bud (vernation), and whether the grass spreads by runners or grows in clumps. Our manual identification guide walks through each of those signals.
Can I identify my grass from a picture?
Yes. A sharp close-up of a single blade in natural daylight is usually enough for a confident match. Wide shots of the whole lawn don't work well — they look like green carpet to the model. Fill the frame with one or two blades and you'll get a far better result.
Is it really free, with no signup?
Yes. Upload a photo and you get the identification plus a quick care plan with no signup, no email gate, and no product upsell. Use it as many times as you need.
How accurate is the identification?
Accuracy depends on the photo. A sharp close-up of a single blade taken in daylight typically gets a confident match. When confidence is below 70 percent, we tell you so you can re-shoot or check the alternatives we return alongside the top guess.
What types of grass can it recognize?
It covers the ten grass types most common in the US — Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, St. Augustine, Centipede, Bahia, Buffalo, Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, Fine Fescue, and Perennial Ryegrass. For an ornamental, native, or pasture species outside that list, we'll usually return the closest match plus a confidence score so you know it isn't a sure thing.
Why does it ask for my ZIP code?
Your ZIP narrows the candidate list to grass types that actually grow in your climate, which improves accuracy a lot. It also lets us tune the care plan to your region's frost dates, summer highs, and soil-temperature trends.
What if I don't have a photo handy?
You can still narrow it down by hand. Whether your grass is warm-season or cool-season, how wide the blades are, and how it spreads will get you most of the way there. Our look-and-feel identification guide covers the manual method step by step, and the grass-type guides let you compare your lawn against reference photos.
What do I get after the identification?
A grass-type result with a confidence score and alternatives, a region match, a short care-plan preview tuned to your grass and ZIP, and links into our long-form guides if you want to read more on mowing, watering, or fertilizer timing.
