Know when your street and avenue trees need water
PlantData.Live follows the root zone and the response of the tree itself, so you water where it matters, prevent losses and can prove it afterwards.
Good impact or growth of trees?
Then this page is for you — whether you plant, care for or manage them.
Responsible during warranty period?
Two dry summers later you pay for the replacement, including breaking open the paving again.
Need proof of good aftercare?
You need to show your client that watering happened when it was needed.
Cost optimization in the management of tree inventory?
Every dry week you decide again where the water truck goes.
How it works
1. Measure
We discuss with you which sensors are minimally needed; soil moisture in the root zone, trunk diameter for tree condition, microclimate on site. But also water flow rates or irrigation control.
2. Flag
If a parameter falls below your threshold or triggers one of our algorithms, you will receive a notification — per tree or per management zone.
3. Account for it
All relevant context comes together in one place. Request a demo on automating the creation of reports or documents.
Starter kit water balance tree monitoring
PlantData.Live has a kit for remote monitoring of a single tree. This serves as your reference measurement for the environment.
The cost is € 775 to € 1250, depending on your preference. Advice, configuration, setup, and the first year of software are included.
The investment in this kit is less than the cost of replacing one tree.
This kit is intended as an introduction. A complete tree inventory? Then we will create a customized proposal.
What you get
Hardware
Soil moisture sensor per measurement point and optionally a trunk diameter measurement on valuable specimens.
Software and support
Overview of all your reference trees on one screen, thresholds and notifications, configuration before shipment, and startup support.
Urban green - A case apart
Why is a planting location in the city so unpredictable? A tree in a hardened environment has a limited rootable volume and receives its water almost exclusively from what you provide. Whether that water actually reaches the root zone is uncertain: an overflowing watering ring or a compacted substrate reveals nothing. In the meantime, you only see stress when the leaf edges turn brown — and by then, the tree has already made its decision.
