You are not the only one managing lawn treatments in Excel or Google Sheets. But you are probably also using a calculator app, a weather app, a notes app, and Google to fill the gaps. LawnSuite brings the records, label-rate maths, weather and seasonal plan into one app.
LawnSuite: Science-first lawn care for Australia, with FAO-56 watering, Australian product labels and programs for your grass and climate. FAO-56 watering estimates and year-round programs for 26 grass and climate combinations are on Pro; watering needs a lawn zone with a saved location.
A spreadsheet can record data. But lawn care is not just data entry; it is decision-making. Every time you open the shed, you face the same questions:
LawnSuite brings all five into one app.

A spreadsheet works if you:
LawnSuite is worth a look if you:
A spreadsheet is not the enemy. It got you this far. But it is a recording tool, not a decision-making tool. It cannot tell you "do not spray today; wind is 18km/h and you will get drift." It will not scale your product's label rate to your front yard's area unless you build the formula. It cannot give you a confidence-gated AI photo diagnosis of that brown patch.
LawnSuite keeps the record-keeping you already value and adds the calculator, forecast outlook, photo diagnosis and seasonal programs around it. There's no CSV export of your treatment records today, so keep your spreadsheet alongside it if you want your own copy of your records.
A spreadsheet is a flexible record you build and maintain yourself. LawnSuite brings your treatment records together with a label-rate calculator, Australian forecast data and a spray-condition outlook, AI photo diagnosis and seasonal programs for your grass and climate, in one app.
LawnSuite scales the rate on your product's label to grams or millilitres for your zone area, across a catalogue of 98 Australian products, records each treatment with product, rate and date, shows Australian forecast data and a spray-condition outlook, runs seasonal programs tailored to your turf type and climate zone, diagnoses lawn problems from photos using AI, and tracks equipment maintenance. It brings these together in one app.
No. If you have been tracking treatments in a spreadsheet, LawnSuite will feel immediately familiar: you are still logging what you applied, when, and where. The difference is that LawnSuite does the maths, checks the weather, and tells you what to do next. No formula writing required.
Not today. LawnSuite doesn't have a CSV or spreadsheet export of your treatment records, so keep your spreadsheet if you want your own copy of your records. You own your data. You can delete your account and its data at any time from Settings.
Same record-keeping. Added intelligence. No install needed.
