Terms of use
Effective August 19, 2026
Informational purpose only
Everything on Upkeep Plan is general information about home and yard maintenance. It is not professional advice for your property, and it cannot account for your local codes, your soil, your slope, your equipment or the condition of your house.
Work involving gas, electricity, structure, roofing, heights, mold or chemical application carries real risk of injury and property damage. Where a page tells you to stop and hire a licensed professional, take it literally.
Timing data
The soil temperature readings and task windows come from NOAA measurements and from a calibrated model, both described on the methodology page. They are our best reading of conditions in a region, not a guarantee about your yard, and weather can move faster than a daily reading.
No warranty
The site is provided as is. We work to keep it accurate and current, but we do not warrant that every page is free of error, and we are not liable for loss or damage arising from acting on what you read here.
Content
The text, calculators and data presentations on this site belong to Upkeep Plan. You are welcome to quote a passage with a link back. Republishing pages wholesale is not permitted.
