About CoreTurf

Built by someone who
needed it.

I couldn't find an app that took warm-season grass seriously. So I built one.

The story

I grow Wintergreen Couch in South East Queensland. If you're serious about your grass you know the drill — summer heat that drives growth rates through the roof, dormancy concerns in winter, and PGR timing that needs constant calibration.

For years I managed everything in my phone's notes app. A record of what I sprayed, rough dates, a running tally of GDDs calculated from memory. I was using PGRs properly, but the tracking system around it was a mess. I'd lose records, second-guess timing, and occasionally discover I'd let products lapse because I had no clear picture of where my program actually stood.

The apps that existed were either designed for golf course superintendents — expensive, complex, built for a completely different scale — or they were basic gardening reminder apps that had no concept of GDD, and no idea what turf actually needs.

So I built CoreTurf because I needed the thing to exist. I wanted something where the GDD maths was actually right and the spray log was easy enough that I'd use it standing on the lawn. Built for Australian grass in an Australian climate, by someone who grows it.

CoreTurf is in beta now. Android is on Google Play. iOS is close behind. If you grow Couch, Kikuyu, Buffalo, Zoysia, Rye, Fescue and you want actual tools rather than reminder apps — this was built for you.

What CoreTurf stands for

Three things that won't change

01 · Science
The agronomy is right or it's not in the app

GDD calculations use real meteorological data and thresholds drawn from published research. If a number appears in CoreTurf, it's there because it means something.

02 · Simplicity
Precision shouldn't require a manual

CoreTurf is technically serious and visually clean. Logging a spray application takes under two minutes. Your dashboard tells you what you need to know without making you find it. The complexity sits underneath where you don't have to deal with it.

03 · Australia
Built for our grass, our climate, our rules

Couch, Kikuyu, Buffalo, Zoysia. APVMA registration numbers. Summers and cool-season dormancy. Australian weather data. CoreTurf understands the Australian context because it was built here, for here.

Android is live.
iOS is coming.
