Smart Landscaping
The management of outdoor spaces is growing increasingly complex as property managers, facility operators and landscape teams balance aesthetics, plant health, water usage, safety, and regulatory expectations. In many regions, rising costs of water, stricter sustainability goals, and the demand for low-maintenance environments put added pressure on landscaping operations. Too often, outdoor maintenance remains reactive, manual and disconnected — creating wasted resources, plant stress, higher costs, and hidden risks.
Solutions with NexAscent sensors
NexAscent provides sensors or end-to-end solutions.
01.
Soil Moisture & Nutrient Sensor (EM500-SMTC)
Measure volumetric water content, soil temperature, salinity and nutrient levels. These help turf, shrubs and plantings maintain optimal growth while avoiding overwatering and nutrient waste.
02.
Environmental & Micro-Climate Sensor (WTS506)
Track ambient temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind and rainfall. These data feed into irrigation scheduling, pest-risk models and plant-stress alerts.
03.
Smart Irrigation Controllers & Flow Monitoring (UC511, UC512)
Real-time monitoring of water flow, valve status and usage across zones. Integrates with soil and weather sensors to trigger zone-specific watering only when required.
04.
Asset & Usage Sensors (VS135)
Track foot-traffic, area usage and equipment operation (mowers, lighting, fountains). Optimise maintenance schedules and support safety & access management.
05.
Outdoor Lighting & Feature Monitoring (UC300)
Monitor lighting usage, fixture health, and power consumption of features such as water fountains, pergolas and hardscape lighting. Improve energy efficiency and schedule proactive maintenance.
06.
Centralised Dashboard & Analytics Platform
All onsite sensor data aggregates into a live dashboard for landscaping teams and facility managers. AI-driven analytics identify underperforming zones, forecast water demand, report on sustainability metrics, and support regulatory or certification compliance.
ROI and Business Case
Smart landscaping solutions deliver tangible business returns for clients
Water Efficiency (20-40% savings)
By linking soil moisture and weather data to irrigation control, watering is only applied where and when needed, rather than on a fixed schedule
Labour/Productivity Improvement (30-50%)
Automated monitoring and alerts reduce manual inspections and reactive maintenance. Staff focus shifts to high-value tasks such as plant health optimisation and landscape design.
Reduced Plant-Failure & Risk
Early detection of stressed plants, drainage issues or irrigation faults prevents costly replanting, hardscape damage or aesthetic degradation
Enhanced Sustainability & Compliance
With real-time data, landscaping operations can be aligned with green-certification frameworks, water-usage reporting and ESG (environmental, social governance) goals.
Improved User & Visitor Experience
Well-maintained outdoor spaces with optimal plant health, lighting and features enhance occupant satisfaction, brand impression and asset value.
Conclusion
With LoRaWAN / IoT sensors from NexAcent, your outdoor environment becomes visible, controllable and optimised: 24×7 monitoring, data-driven decisions and predictive capabilities enable your landscape to thrive sustainably, cost-effectively and future-ready. Smart landscaping isn’t just about maintenance — it’s about elevating outdoor assets into dynamic, living investments.
