What its rules say about promotion
Include clear photos if you're asking for help.
Clear and CLOSE pictures are necessary to identify most issues, grass types, and weeds. Don't just take a pic from 5 feet away... Pull one sample (shoot/stem) down to the roots and get multiple close ups. All identification posts MUST have the word "ID" or "identification" in the title AND include your approximate location in the title or text body (state for those in US).
No affiliate links, self-promoting links, YouTube links, or advertising
Help others, don't help yourself. No affiliate links. No YouTube links or links to .com blogs.
Respect Fellow Redditors
no harassment, trolling, witch hunting, sexism, racism, hate speech, or promoting harm against pets.
What its rules say about AI and bots
Don't copy and paste responses from AI chatbots
This is a subreddit by humans and for humans. Chatgpt is good, but it gets things wrong and is not what users come here for.
All 10 rules of r/lawncare
- Include clear photos if you're asking for help.
Clear and CLOSE pictures are necessary to identify most issues, grass types, and weeds. Don't just take a pic from 5 feet away... Pull one sample (shoot/stem) down to the roots and get multiple close ups. All identification posts MUST have the word "ID" or "identification" in the title AND include your approximate location in the title or text body (state for those in US). - Give a general location on ALL posts.
Nearest major city is helpful, but atleast mention state/province. If in the US, choose the flair based on warm/cool season. If you don't know, pick flair based on location. Posts asking for help MUST include some description of your location in the title or text body of the post (post flair doesn't count) If you have a question about equipment, non-fertilizer or pesticide products/vendors, or things not directly related to biological factors in your lawn... you can say approximate location. - No affiliate links, self-promoting links, YouTube links, or advertising
Help others, don't help yourself. No affiliate links. No YouTube links or links to .com blogs. - Respect Fellow Redditors
no harassment, trolling, witch hunting, sexism, racism, hate speech, or promoting harm against pets. - Off-topic commentary/politics
Don't comment if you're just going to quip about, "native plants", "pollinators", "chemicals" or "biodiversity". This is LAWNCARE. - Advocate for safe and responsible use of pesticides and fertilizers.
Don't spread false info about pesticides. Follow integrated pest management guidelines (IPM). Broadly speaking, that means to apply products with the intent to control specific pests. Diagnose issues before treating. - Don't copy and paste responses from AI chatbots
This is a subreddit by humans and for humans. Chatgpt is good, but it gets things wrong and is not what users come here for. - No anti lawn trolling or brigading
This is a subreddit for people who like lawns... Of all kinds, but especially grass. Don't shame people for their choice of lawn type. - Don't spread misinformation
Don't spread information that is not supported by science. Old wive's tales and junk from YouTubers like LCN is not allowed here. - No Uninvited Alternatives
OP wants help with turf and not your opinion of what to plant. Help them with their request or don’t comment at all.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
