Your lawn knows when it's ready.
Reel Rollers tracks growing degree days from real weather data and tells you the exact right day to cut — not a calendar guess. Built for reel mower owners who want a proper lawn.
Free plan available · Works with any reel mower · Bermuda, zoysia, fescue & more
From overgrown to dialed in.
Three steps to stop guessing and start cutting at the right time.
Add your lawn
Drop a pin, draw your zones on the map, and tell us your grass species. Takes under two minutes. Reel Rollers pulls live weather for your location automatically.
GDD does the math
Reel Rollers watches your local temperature data and accumulates Growing Degree Days. When your lawn hits the threshold for your species, you get notified — not before, not after.
Log it, track everything
Log each mow in seconds. Your history, treatments, maintenance tasks, and program recommendations all live in one place across every season.
Mow when your grass says ready.
Every grass species has a GDD threshold — the accumulated heat units that drive one full growth cycle. Reel Rollers watches your local temps and tells you exactly when that threshold is hit.
- Real weather data for your exact location — not a regional average
- Species-specific thresholds for bermuda, zoysia, fescue, and 10+ more
- Rain delay detection automatically holds your mow window
- Dormancy detection stops notifications when grass stops growing
A full season plan, built for your turf.
Set your grass species, program level, and location once. Reel Rollers generates a full-year lawn program — pre-emergent timing, fertilizer windows, overseeding, winterization — all on your actual calendar.
- Pre-emergent and post-emergent timing based on your GDD accumulation
- Fertilizer schedule matched to your grass's seasonal nitrogen needs
- Program levels from basic to full-detail enthusiast
- Reminders land before each window, not after you missed it

From the forum to the fairway.
“I used to mow every Saturday no matter what. Three weeks after switching to GDD scheduling my bermuda looks like a different lawn. I was cutting way too often.”
“Finally an app built by people who actually understand reel mowers. The mechanic directory alone is worth signing up — I found someone 4 miles away who does backlapping.”
“The seasonal program told me I was applying pre-emergent two weeks late every year. That explains a lot about my crabgrass situation.”

A reel mower uses a spinning cylinder of blades to scissor-cut grass — like scissors, not a blunt club. It produces a cleaner cut, less browning, and is dramatically quieter than a rotary mower. Premium turf (bermuda, zoysia, bentgrass) responds best to reel-cut heights.
Your weekend, back.
