Tree Watering with Jewel

Regular tree watering is essential for healthy, resilient public green spaces. With increasingly dry and unpredictable summers, young trees in particular are vulnerable and require consistent care to survive and establish strong roots. Yet coordinating tree-watering tasks can be challenging in practice: routes are spread across wide areas, watering needs vary per tree and per location, and keeping oversight is difficult when teams work with manual lists or fragmented information. Jewel Software digitalises this entire process. Watering routes and tree locations are planned and mapped digitally, ensuring no trees are overlooked.

Challenges in Tree Watering

Even with experienced teams, various issues can arise during watering operations. Common problems include:

faviconWhat additional care do young trees require?
 
faviconWhich support materials need to be removed?

Digitize Tree Watering with Jewel 

Jewel provides powerful digital support for tree-watering operations by making planning and execution clearer and more accurate. In the web application, planners can record every tree on a digital map and update this information whenever needed. Each tree can be assigned a planting year, giving teams direct insight into age — essential for providing extra care to young trees during dry periods. Specific attention points, such as damaged stakes, poor soil conditions, or restricted access, can also be registered digitally.

Assignments are then sent directly to the field team, who receive all relevant information on their tablets. They can see exactly which trees require watering, which ones need special care, and which attention points must be checked. This ensures no trees are overlooked and that watering is carried out consistently and accurately. At the same time, colleagues in the office have live insight into the team’s progress and can generate reports on watering frequency and completed areas.

Jewel Tasks takes the pressure off by streamlining the entire process from start to finish.

An Integral part of Green-Space Management

Tree watering is just one essential part of the wider tree-care and green-space management responsibilities of local authorities. Keeping public areas healthy and resilient requires much more than irrigation: teams must plan mowing and verge maintenance, inspect trees and green assets, record attention points, manage support materials, and coordinate tasks across parks, verges, woodlands, and urban green areas.

Jewel brings all these activities together in one digital platform. In addition to planning and tracking watering rounds, the software supports digital mowing workflows, tree and asset inspections, reporting, and the complete administration of green-space tasks. This integrated approach helps councils maintain a clear overview, reduce errors, and deliver efficient, sustainable care for their urban trees and public green spaces.
