Three close-ups beat one wide shot — the AI identifies from the features turf pros actually use, restricted to grasses that grow in your region.
1. Blade close-up
One grass blade laid flat next to a coin for scale. Fill the frame; sharp focus.
2. Collar region
Pull a blade back from the stem and photograph where they meet — this tiny joint is the fingerprint.
3. Growth habit
At a lawn edge or bare spot: does it grow in bunches, or spread with runners? Get low, show the base.
