To be fair a lot of good product ideas come from personal experiences like yours, not weird. Seems like a solid idea, when you say tailored to location does that account for the different types of grass across geographies? If you're interested in a market snapshot to look at competitors I built a one-time competitive intelligence report tool at stratica.ca covering competitor positioning, market gaps, SWOT, growth action items and more. Could be useful if you want to make it real.

Cheers!

Soil science!

Soil Food Web!

Can topdressing fix lawn problems?

Can mulching clippings instead of bagging fix lawn problems?

How to avoid worsening nitrogen runoff algae blooms with liquid fertilizer? Granulated fertilizer if you must.

White Dutch Clover is a nitrogen fixer that fertilizes soil and feeds the bees.

All broad-leaf herbicides kill clover and dandelions, which bees prefer.

Feature ideas:

- refer for local free soil testing; ?q=soil+testing+{zip code}

- follow-up reminders

Thanks for helping lawns and thereby animals.

You can buy divot fixer bottles and a holder for a golf cart, because of soccer in the backyard

That’s a great point! However, I think it would be better if your service better reflected the fact that you’re a veterinarian. For example, determining the appropriate grass or turf for grazing horses, or checking whether they’re being cared for in a way that prevents injuries.
