Did You Know?

15,000 Seeds

A single dandelion produces up to 15,000 seeds per year. Each one can travel miles on the wind and germinate in your lawn. One dandelion left alone becomes a hundred.

$45 Billion

Americans spend $45 billion per year on lawn care. A huge chunk goes to weed control — herbicides, services, and replanting damaged turf. Identifying weeds early saves real money.

150,000 Seeds

Crabgrass can produce 150,000 seeds per plant per season. It spreads fast, dies in winter, and leaves ugly bare patches. Pre-emergent herbicide in spring is the only real defense.

Edible & Useful

Many "weeds" are actually edible or beneficial for pollinators. Dandelion greens are nutritious, clover fixes nitrogen in soil, and violets attract bees. Not every weed needs to die.

How Deep ID Works

Deep ID uses AI-powered web search to analyze any plant in your yard — confirming identification, checking weed status, and building a complete removal plan.

It checks:

  • Plant identification confirmation (common name, scientific name, weed type)
  • Best removal method (manual pulling, selective herbicides, prevention)
  • Specific herbicide recommendations (pre-emergent vs post-emergent)
  • Best time of year to treat for maximum effectiveness
  • Soil conditions the weed indicates (compacted, low nitrogen, etc.)
  • How aggressively it spreads (seed, runners, or rhizomes)
  • Beneficial properties (edible, medicinal, pollinator-friendly)
  • Look-alikes to watch out for

WeedOrNOT is an AI identification tool, not a licensed lawn care professional. Common weeds are identified reliably. Always read herbicide labels before applying — using the wrong product on the wrong grass type can kill your lawn.
