Your lease says maintain the lawn. You do not want bond deductions. But you also do not want to sink hundreds into a property you do not own. Keep treatment records and photos for your zones, and use AI photo suggestions to investigate possible lawn or garden problems.
Australian lease agreements typically require tenants to maintain lawns and gardens in "reasonable condition." That creates a specific tension:
Most renters do not know what turf type they have, what products are appropriate, or how much to apply. They either ignore it (and pay at bond return) or panic-buy at Bunnings and hope for the best.
Jed can help narrow down your grass type from a clear photo; confirm it before choosing a chemical treatment. Grass type matters for mowing, fertiliser choices, watering needs and safe herbicides (dicamba products such as Kamba M say DO NOT use on Buffalo). Choose the confirmed type when setting up your zone, and only use products whose current label permits your turf and intended use. Follow the label's application directions; a photo suggestion does not establish that a herbicide is suitable.
Never use dicamba on Buffalo (avoid products like Contra M or Kamba M).
The dosage calculator works out how many grams or millilitres your area needs from the label rate you enter, so you can check the amount before you buy. Pack sizes are fixed, so you may still buy a whole bag; the calculator tells you how much of it to apply.
In an emergency, including collapse, difficulty breathing or serious injury, call 000 immediately. For poisoning or exposure, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (24 hours, Australia-wide) without waiting for symptoms, even if the label is missing. Do not delay urgent help to find a label or contact a company. Follow the product label's Safety Directions and First Aid sections when available. For spills, keep people and pets away and follow the label's spill and environmental directions; if the label is unavailable, follow the product's safety data sheet or ask the company named on the container when available. For remaining product-specific use or lawn-recovery questions, ask the company named on the label; do not improvise watering or another treatment. After the immediate safety response, record the product, amount, area and date. Jed, the AI lawn assistant, can help you organise questions; it does not confirm a diagnosis or replace the label.
Use LawnSuite's forecast data and spray-condition outlook to help plan work. Check the current product label's weather and application directions yourself; an outlook or calendar entry does not establish that a treatment or establishment is permitted.
Healthdirect poisoning guidance verifies 13 11 26 and its 24-hour Australia-wide service; Healthdirect emergency guidance explains when to call 000. Read APVMA label and safety-data-sheet guidance.
Log treatments with date, product, zone and your own notes; calculator logs also record the calculated amount. Add weather observations to your notes yourself. The photos you save document lawn condition over time, giving you a maintenance record to show at bond inspection.
Jed, the AI lawn assistant, can help you organise lawn-care questions. Use supported seasonal guidance to plan maintenance, and check labels before treatment or establishment.
Before you sow, lay turf or plant anything new, check the labels of products applied there for re-seeding or replanting intervals. If you don't know what was applied or when, wait or ask whoever applied it for the product name and date.
For any proposed treatment, use a product only where its current whole label permits your turf, intended use and stage of establishment. Follow its directions for rate, application conditions, safety and environmental protection; a calculator, AI advice or a weather forecast does not establish permission.
AI photo suggestions can help you investigate patchy areas; they do not confirm whether the cause is disease, pests, dry conditions or another problem.

Ask Jed with a clear close-up photo for help narrowing down the grass type, then confirm it before choosing a chemical treatment. Choose the confirmed type when setting up your zone for supported seasonal guidance. Only use products whose current label permits your turf and intended use, and follow its application directions; an AI photo suggestion does not make a herbicide suitable.
Never use dicamba on Buffalo (avoid products like Contra M or Kamba M).
The calculator scales the label rate you enter to the area you supply. Check both inputs and the current whole label before each application; the result does not decide product suitability or the correct rate.
The photos you save document lawn condition over time, giving you a maintenance record to show at bond inspection.
There's no export of your treatment history, so keep your own copy: screenshots of your treatment history and photo timeline show the dates, products used and photos. Whether that is enough for a property manager is up to them and your lease.
If you have one lawn area, you can start with these free features:
The free tier supports 1 zone. If you have a larger property with multiple zones (front lawn, back lawn, garden beds), Pro adds 10 zones for $149.99/yr (or $14.99/mo); Founding $49.99/yr (renews at $49.99/yr). Your Founding price stays the same for as long as your subscription stays active. If you cancel after Founding closes to new sign-ups (at 100 paying subscribers, all plans), it can't be restored.
Renters are responsible for maintaining the lawn in most Australian lease agreements. Letting it die can mean bond deductions. But you also do not want to overspend on products for a property you do not own. Keep treatment records and photos for your zones, and use AI photo suggestions to investigate possible lawn or garden problems.
Yes. The free tier gives you a dosage calculator (you enter the rate from your product's label and it works out the exact amount for your zone area, across a catalogue of 98 Australian products), treatment logging, Australian weather data, equipment tracking, 20 Jed chats in your first 14 days, then 7 a week (photos welcome in chat), and 2 photo diagnoses per month. Most renters with a single lawn zone will never need to upgrade.
Jed, the AI lawn assistant, can help narrow down your grass type from a clear photo, but LawnSuite does not confirm your turf variety from a photo. Confirm the grass type before choosing a chemical treatment, and choose it when setting up your zone.
Never use dicamba on Buffalo (avoid products like Contra M or Kamba M).
For any proposed treatment, use a product only where its current whole label permits your turf, intended use and stage of establishment. Follow its directions for rate, application conditions, safety and environmental protection; a calculator, AI advice or a weather forecast does not establish permission.
Your existing zones keep their saved location and climate. Editing a zone's name, area or grass type does not move it to a new address. Its treatment history and scheduled jobs remain linked to that zone.
