A homeowner is struggling to restore a dark, patchy, weed-infested lawn after improper seeding, fertilizing, and mowing, and has not seen progress despite aerating and using a store-bought fertilizer.

Workarounds Described

• added random grass seeds and fertiliser from shed without knowing types
• mowed lawn too short
• bought an aerator and fertilised front yard with Scott's but no progress

Implied Software Gaps

• Integrated lawn diagnosis app that identifies grass type and recommends appropriate seed/fertilizer
• Mowing height and frequency guide tailored to grass type and season
• Treatment progress tracker with soil moisture and growth monitoring

LawnRx Diagnostic

A mobile app that guides homeowners through diagnosing lawn problems using photos, soil input, and local climate data. It provides a personalized treatment calendar, product recommendations (e.g., from Bunnings), and step-by-step instructions for aeration, seeding, fertilizing, and watering. Unlike generic advice, it accounts for Sydney's autumn season and common grass types.
