The questions people ask first
The short version of how the loop actually feels to use: how Jed, LawnSuite's AI lawn assistant, picks products, whether you have to measure anything, how exact the dosages are, and what it all costs. Chasing the device, data or offline basics instead? Those live on the homepage FAQ.
Getting-started FAQ
Straight answers about what the app does for you.
How does Jed know which products to recommend?
Jed, LawnSuite's AI lawn assistant, reads My Shed, where LawnSuite remembers the products and gear you own, before it answers. Ask what to put on this month and Jed checks your shed first, alongside your zone name, turf, climate, postcode, sun and soil details, equipment and last health check, not a generic forum answer. If there's a real gap it'll point you to something you can grab at Bunnings, and it explains the why.
Do I have to measure my lawn?
Not with a tape measure. You pop the area in once when you set up a zone; rough numbers are fine to start, and you can refine it any time. On Android, Pro members can also trace the lawn on a satellite map and have the area worked out automatically. Either way it's a one-off; after that every dose, watering run and seasonal job is sized to that zone for you.
Are the dosages exact?
As exact as the maths gets. Pick a product, enter your zone area, and the calculator turns the label rate into the precise grams or millilitres for that patch: one product at any rate (including a concentrate dilution), or a multi-product Tank Mix of up to 10 products. That takes the arithmetic out of the shed. The rate comes from your product's label, which also carries its safety and timing directions.
How confident is the photo diagnosis?
You're always the final call. The photo diagnosis suggests a likely pest, disease, weed or deficiency with a confidence score. Web hides specific treatment text and the Treat This action when the primary match scores below 50% or the result set is ambiguous. Review the result; AI can be wrong. You choose a product, enter the details and save the treatment yourself. The quick Health Check photo read works the same way: it reports what it sees (green cover, patches, uniformity, mow height); it doesn't make the decision for you.
Is it safe to use near vegetables and fruit trees?
For edible zones LawnSuite screens out products that aren't permitted there, and steers you toward organic-first options and away from broad-spectrum herbicides near your food plants. LawnSuite does not provide withholding periods; always read and follow the product label and its stated withholding period.
What does it cost?
The free tier covers 1 zone, 20 Jed chats in your first 14 days, then 7 a week (photos welcome in chat), your photo timeline, flow calibration in Android and the single-product dosage calculator (any rate, including concentrate dilutions), no card needed. Pro adds the full AI, your year-round program for 26 grass and climate combinations (build-your-own DIY programs stay free), soil-test uploads (Android app) and multi-product tank-mixing (up to 10 products in one tank), at $149.99/yr (or $14.99/mo); Founding Member pricing is $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.
Can I use it offline?
Yes, log treatments, take photos and browse your data without a signal, and it all syncs when you're back online. We've answered this one in full over on the homepage FAQ, so head there for the detail.
