Overview

My Lawn is a mobile app that allows subscribers of Scotts Program, a subscription based lawn program, to create and manage their custom lawn plan from their mobile devices. Found on both the Apple App and Google Play stores, the My Lawn app provides 40k+ monthly users with the ability to create a custom lawn plan, create and manage lawn activities, view lawn tips, and track local weather and rainfall.

In preparation for the Version 10.0 redesign, it was a priority to reimagine the home screen, allowing users to directly access their lawn activities and to more efficiently recognize when activities are overdue or upcoming. Prior to this update, users found it difficult to quickly view their calendar of activities. It was our goal to create a home screen that was relevant and interactive and and less utility focused.

In the Spring of 2022, we successfully launched Version 10.0 to 100% of our user base.

App Reviews

★★★★★

“There has been a major upgrade to this app, and it has seen a wonderful upgrade. The new calendaring features which allow you to specifically select dates for when you watered or applied a product is really nice. A big improvement from the older app which wouldn't let you back-date any activities. It is now much more useful to me for using my Scott's lawn care plan.”

★★★★★

“The new version is much easier to navigate. The one thing that is strange is I can’t seem to tap on some of the links in the lawn tip articles. Other than that, great improvement from previous version.”

★★★★★

“This app was in need of an update. The 10.0 update makes the user experience for this application much more smooth. The new contemporary UI makes me feel like I am using a service that is ‘up with the times’.”
