2030 and 2050 canopy targets cannot be achieved without greater focus on existing asset preservation. Treebit uses smart technology to proactively direct water maintenance crews to trees before heat stress and root-die back occurs.

Easy installation

Low cost and easy to (re)install, Treebit can be installed across an entire precinct by city maintenance crews.

Treebit works on a one-to-many ratio, meaning you only need as many Treebit devices as you have differing soil conditions in a target area.

In cases where these differences aren’t well understood, Treebit sensors can be initially deployed to identify where differences in moisture conditions are occurring. Once these baselines are established, redundant Treebit sensors can be removed and redeployed in other city locations.

IoT Connectivity

Treebit operates off LoRaWAN® technology through Telcos which is open to anyone, with no license fees or other fees associated with its usage.

The sensors take an hourly soil moisture reading and send the measurements via the LoRaWan connection to your Treebit dashboard.

Minimum moisture levels can be set to trigger maintenance alerts and crews can access the location of the trees via any smart phone device.

API Integration

The Treebit dashboard has an advanced API available that allows soil moisture data to be integrated for irrigation management or predictive analytics. This makes it possible to combine data from the individual Treebit soil moisture sensors.

Anti Theft + Vandalism

An earthy tone has been chosen to camouflage Treebit with the soil and mulch at the base of trees. We recommend inserting the probes into the soil until the top of the Treebit cap is at ground level, obscuring it from general view. Treebit will be unaffected by natural debris coverage and rain.

Suitable to Most Settings

To accommodate root depth variance, Treebit is available in 30cm and 60cm lengths to measure soil moisture at root depth.

We Make Cities Cooler

Healthier. More Liveable.

Treebit delivers actionable insights for essential water conservation using reliable data from easy to use, long lasting hardware.

Maintain the right balance between tree, soil and water content, optimising tree health:

  • too much water: hypoxia and nutrient washout
  • not enough water: permanent wilting and hydrophobic soil

Receive actionable insights for reliable and effective tree management hourly moisture level readings:

  • set high and low moisture thresholds based on soil type
  • activate maintenance crews only for the soil zones/trees that need it

Confidently manage tree inventory in different soil zones:

  • 99.5% accuracy with calibrated soil
  • different soils retain water differently

“Great customer service, quick response times and a very in depth QA system with constant support.”

- Laura Wiesenekker, Project Engineer, Densford Civil -

“Citygreen is a very professional  business, and I found everything was great in terms of deliveries, product supply and information. It was all forthcoming and helped us to complete the project.”

- Keith Burns, Architect/Designer, Keith Burns Architect -

“Citygreen offered training and invaluable technical assistance during the works.”

- James Callan, Estimating Manager, Complex Co Pty Ltd -

“Our experience, in working with a Citygreen Design Studio was second to none. We found responses from the design studio to be very timely, and technically thorough. We went backwards and forwards a number of times, looking at different iterations of the design and, nothing was too much trouble to examine and explore different possibilities. I would highly recommend the Citygreen Design Studio to any future client considering using your services.”

- Sandra Smith, Principal Landscape Architect, City Of Monash -

“We are big on compliance on all projects, and the fact that their SmartCertify cloud platform covers all bases, and supports their 20 year warranties, is critical – especially that these pits are being installed under roadways and footpaths.”

- Johny Purkaystha, Civil Program Engineer, Central Coast Council -

"I reviewed all the previous projects that we have installed in the past couple years using your product and I can happily report back that we have 0% mortality in the soil cells, which is incredible!"

- Brendan Wilton, CEO, Trim Landscaping, Bedford, Canada -
