We help you work with what you already have.
Analysis runs locally on your device. No storage, no tracking, no account.
SoilMend provides calm, science-grounded guidance to reduce erosion and improve soil health — using your existing soil, grass, and landscape.
Practical guidance to understand your land and improve it with minimal intervention.
Upload a wide photo of your yard and an optional close-up of the grass. Images are analyzed directly in your browser.
We estimate bare soil, vegetation coverage, and erosion pressure — and clearly state when something can't be determined.
Recommendations prioritize timing, placement, and natural processes, helping you use what's already present.
Upload one wide photo of your lawn, and optionally 1–3 close-up photos of the grass or soil surface.
You can provide zip code and slope info optionally. Analysis runs entirely on your device.
SoilMend.org does not store your data.
Compare your grass photos with common lawn grasses. Click a grass type to learn how to care for it.
Close-up photos work best (leaf width, texture, color).
Every bare patch, moss cluster, or clover patch is a message from the soil below. The Knowledge Library helps you read these signals — and build a restoration plan rooted in soil ecology.
Free, gentle, and grounded in real soil science.
