Landscaping robots for Perth and WA: autonomous mowing, marking and grounds care.
Commercial mowing from $50 a day. We supply and service FJ Dynamics robotic mowers and line-marking robots across WA: councils, schools, golf clubs, mining villages, strata and landscapers. The established east-coast dealers do not ship robots to WA or install here; we survey, deploy and service from Perth.
Commercial mowing from $50 a day. Free site check; if the numbers don't stack up, we'll tell you.

You can't hire a grounds crew in WA. You can lease one.
Landscape gardeners are on the national Occupation Shortage List, more than a quarter of employers who advertise receive no suitable applicants, and the turf industry's own association is lobbying government about the skills shortage. Meanwhile the ovals, verges, fairways and village grounds still need cutting every week, and the contract price creeps up every year.
An autonomous mower changes the maths because you stop paying per visit and start paying per cut. A contractor cuts a typical oval once a week for $120 to $250 a visit; the FRX cuts it every day for about $50 a cut. Daily cutting means the site always looks freshly mowed, clippings are short enough to disappear, and your remaining grounds labour goes to edges, gardens and repairs instead of hours on a ride-on.
This is mowing as a service, run the same way we run our commercial cleaning fleet: the robot, blades, software, monitoring and WA-based service on one predictable rate, with the robot matched to the site rather than sold off a price list.
The landscaping fleet: five commercial units, one RTK ecosystem.
Every unit is an FJ Dynamics robot running centimetre-level RTK navigation and the same GreenMaster fleet platform, so one site survey and one dashboard cover mowing and marking together. We match the unit to the site, and we say so when a site doesn't suit one.
FJD FRX
520 mm cut · 8,000 m²/charge · 25° slope · IPX5
The lead mower, from $50 a day. Cuts 10–100 mm, works slopes to 25°, and covers up to 20,000 m² a day on auto-charging. Ovals, reserves, golf roughs and strata commons.
FJD RM21
635 mm cut · 12,000 m²/charge · 360° LiDAR
One chassis, four jobs: mow, line-mark, ball-pick and grass-collect. Cuts 20–127 mm, the highest in the range, which suits WA kikuyu and couch ovals. The schools and councils multi-tool.
FJD Titan
730 mm cut · 18,000 m²/charge · rated 0–55°C
The large-area unit: 108,000 m² over 72 hours on auto-charging, dual-RTK with LiDAR and vision, and the only mower in the range rated to 55°C. Big precincts and mining villages.
FJD RCM01
686 mm reel · 3,000 m²/h · under 75 dB
The golf specialist: a robotic cylinder mower cutting 7–44 mm for fairway presentation, with a 10 hour runtime and customisable striping. Pairs with GolfMind course mapping.
FJD PaintMaster
Line marking · 5–17 cm lines · RTK + vision
Line-marking robots for pitches and ovals. The Pro marks a full pitch in about 30 to 40 minutes; the Mini suits single-campus schools. Own the robot instead of paying per marking, or bundle it with mowing.
Floors as well as fields
The mowing fleet runs on the same service model as our commercial cleaning robots: one supplier, one dashboard discipline, WA-wide. See the cleaning fleet →

Figures are FJ Dynamics' published numbers. The PaintMaster markers paint lines rather than cut, so they sit outside this table; site-specific coverage and slope limits are confirmed at the survey.
Smaller sites: FR4000 and Vela.
For large residential grounds, small strata commons and other areas up to about 4,000 m², we supply two compact FJD units. Purchase only, no subscription, quoted on enquiry.
FR4000Up to 4,000 m², 33° climbing slope (the strongest in the range), RTK plus vision navigation, base station and garage included.
VelaLiDAR plus vision navigation with no RTK base station needed, suited to smaller or partly shaded sites. Up to 4,000 m² in 24 hours.

Survey, map, deploy, report.
The same deployment discipline as our cleaning fleet, tuned for turf. Most sites go from site walk to first cut in a few weeks.
Step 01
Survey
We walk the site, measure areas and slopes, and map tree cover and RTK sky view. This is where we confirm the site suits a robot, and say so if it doesn't.
Step 02
Map
We set up RTK positioning, from an on-site base or a CORS station covering a 30 km radius, then draw virtual boundaries, mowing zones and no-go areas in software. No buried wire.
Step 03
Deploy
We commission the unit, set cut heights and schedules, site the charging dock (under shelter where the model needs it) and train your team on the app.
Step 04
Run and report
The fleet runs on schedule and reports through GreenMaster: live tracking, multi-zone dispatch and work records across sites. We monitor it, service it and swap the blades.
Who this is for.
Five WA buyer groups carry most of the state's turf, and each has a different version of the same labour problem.
Councils & local government
WA councils tender out mowing of parks, reserves, ovals and verges at scale, and the contract price rises every renewal. No WA council runs robotic mowing yet: a daily cut at a per-cut price is a first-mover line item, with crews redeployed to gardens and repairs.
Schools & sports clubs
Oval mowing has to happen outside school and training hours, and weekly line marking is a second labour bill on top. One mow-and-mark package covers both, with the RM21 cutting to 127 mm for kikuyu and couch and marking with the same chassis.
Golf clubs
The greenkeeper shortage is documented by the turf industry's own association, and dawn fairway mowing is the hardest roster to fill. FJ Dynamics runs official golf deployments in Poland, Sweden and Japan; the RCM01 reel mower and GolfMind course mapping bring that stack to WA. See the whole-course golf system →
Mining villages
Groundskeeping by FIFO labour is one of the most expensive mowing regimes in the country, and no robotic mowing vendor targets village grounds anywhere in Australia. The Titan is rated to 55°C, and we already service robots across WA mining sites.
Strata & landscapers
Strata commons run on thin budgets, and landscapers can't hire the crews they need: the trade is in national shortage. We supply strata direct, and we supply and service robot fleets for WA landscaping contractors. Partnership, not competition.

Why FJ Dynamics
An autonomy company, not a mower brand.
FJ Dynamics was founded in 2017 by Wu Di, a former DJI chief scientist, and is backed by Tencent and Dongfeng Motor's investment arm. Its core business is agricultural autonomy: it is the world's third-largest supplier of agricultural auto-navigation kits (2024), so the mowers inherit RTK guidance proven at farm scale rather than scaled up from a domestic robot.
FJD reports more than 200,000 units sold across 140+ countries through 1,000+ dealers, holds 800+ invention patents with 45% of staff in R&D, and runs official golf-course deployments in Poland, Sweden and Japan. Its Swedish heritage runs through Sveaverken, the 110-year-old farm equipment maker it acquired in 2019. Every unit carries a 24-month main-unit warranty with lifetime free software updates.
We supply and service FJD robots across WA. The established east-coast dealers do not ship robots to WA or install here, so a Perth council or club buying elsewhere is buying freight and a phone number in another time zone. With us, the survey, commissioning, blades, parts and monitoring all come from Perth.

Three ways to pay for it.
Pick the model that fits your budget shape. Most suppliers in this market offer one; we offer all three.
RaaS
Robotics as a Service, or mowing as a service: a monthly subscription covering the robot, blades, service, software and monitoring. Lowest commitment, predictable opex. Commercial mowing from $50 a day.
Lease-to-own
Two-to-four-year terms; you own the unit at the end. A middle path between subscription and capital purchase, quoted per site assessment.
Outright purchase
Buy the robot, with an optional Care Plan for the same managed service behind it. Quoted per site assessment.
See the three models compared on the commercial models page.
The honest filter: not every site is a robot site.
A single small oval cut once a week by a contractor is often cheaper left exactly as it is. Daily-cut economics need frequency, scale or scarce labour to beat a weekly visit, and pretending otherwise sells robots into sites where they disappoint.
Where the numbers do stack up: sites cut two or more times a week, grounds teams stretched across mowing plus everything else, large or multi-oval precincts, remote sites where labour is expensive to house, and clubs that want daily presentation rather than a weekly shave. Heavy tree canopy, small fiddly areas and steep unfenced water edges count against a site, and we check all three at the survey.
We run the numbers per cut at a free site check. If they don't stack up, we'll tell you, and you'll have lost nothing but a site walk.
WA buyer FAQ
How much does robotic mowing cost in Perth?
Commercial mowing starts from $50 a day on Robotics as a Service (RaaS), which covers the robot, blades, software, monitoring and WA-based service. Think in cost per cut, not per month: a contractor cuts a typical oval once a week for $120 to $250 a visit; the FRX cuts it every day for about $50 a cut. Larger units and bundles are quoted per site assessment.
Is my site actually a robot site?
Not always, and we'll say so. A single small oval cut once a week by a contractor is often cheaper left with the contractor. Robots stack up when a site is cut twice a week or more, when grounds staff can be redeployed to higher-value work, or when the site is large, remote or hard to staff. We run the per-cut numbers at the site survey, and if they don't stack up, we'll tell you.
How do the robots navigate, and what about trees?
They mow to centimetre-level RTK GNSS positioning inside virtual boundaries, with no buried wire. RTK needs a reasonably open view of the sky, so we map tree cover and signal shadow at the site survey before we quote. The RM21 adds 360° LiDAR as a fallback under canopy, and the units use vision and bumpers to detect obstacles as they work.
Can they run through a Perth summer?
Within their ratings. Most of the range is rated to 45°C and the Titan is rated to 55°C, which is why it is our pick for mining villages and exposed inland sites. The PaintMaster line markers work in a 5 to 45°C window (5 to 35°C for some models), so summer marking runs in the mornings. We build these operating windows into each site's schedule.
Can they mark an AFL oval or other league lines?
The PaintMaster range ships with templates for codes including football, rugby, gridiron, baseball and lacrosse, plus custom geometry. AFL and other league templates are confirmed at scoping, before anything is quoted, so you know exactly what your fields can be marked with before you commit.
Who installs and services the robots in WA?
We do. We supply and service FJ Dynamics robots across WA: survey, mapping, commissioning, blades, parts and monitoring, all from Perth. The established east-coast dealers do not ship robots to WA or install here. Regional and remote sites, including mining villages, are serviced by arrangement, with remote diagnostics from Perth.
What are the ways to pay?
Three. Robotics as a Service is a monthly subscription covering the robot, service, software and support, with commercial mowing from $50 a day. Lease-to-own runs over two to four years and the unit is yours at the end. Outright purchase comes with an optional Care Plan. Most suppliers offer one model; we offer all three and recommend whichever fits your budget shape.
Will a robotic mower replace my grounds staff?
No. It takes the repetitive base mowing off them. The robot cuts the open turf on a schedule; your people do what a machine can't: edges, garden beds, irrigation, repairs and presentation detail. Landscape gardeners are in documented national shortage, so on most sites the win is redeploying scarce grounds labour, not removing it.
