The only invisible tree sensor solution — root-zone intelligence nothing above ground can see.
Mature specimen trees, old-growth olives, and large date palms can take decades to replace — and they hide stress below ground long before the canopy shows it. The GX-1F Flex Sensor is the tree-specialized model in the GX-1 family and the only tree sensor that disappears entirely: fully standalone and wireless, it sits just under the surface with nothing visible above ground — no wiring, no above-ground hardware, nothing to detract from the landscape or invite damage. Its flexible sensor cord reaches 44 inches deep into the expansive root zone, with custom orders available up to 5 meters for the deepest rooting trees. It installs in minutes and works with or without the iQ SmartWell, then GAIN runs autonomously on top of it — turning raw readings into early warnings, forecasts, and watering decisions delivered without anyone having to pull data or build reports for arborists and land stewards.

Planning assumption: Extension rule of ~10 gal per inch of trunk diameter weekly; a 12" tree over a ~26-week season ≈ 3,000 gal per tree. These are illustrative facility benchmarks, not verified worldwide industry totals. The ticker spreads annual use evenly across 365 days and applies a 25% potential reduction. It is not measured live water waste, water already saved, or a guarantee. Actual needs and savings vary by climate, season, soil, and irrigation practice.

Estimate only, not a quote or guarantee. Basis: Extension rule of ~10 gal per inch of trunk diameter weekly; a 12" tree over a ~26-week season ≈ 3,000 gal per tree. Savings use a 25% reduction benchmark; annual utility savings use the selected modeled US regional water rate (West: $7.50 per 1,000 gallons), not a local utility quote. Map zones are schematic, not state-level service boundaries. Sources: GCSAA, USDA/USGS, and university extension irrigation benchmarks for water use. Actual results depend on climate, soil, water source, local utility rates, and current practices.
Get a customized sensor planWhat you are up against
- Drought and over-watering stress develop in the root zone long before leaves or fronds show damage.
- Shallow turf sensors miss the deep, wide root systems of mature trees and palms.
- Above-ground equipment detracts from high-value landscapes and invites damage, theft, and vandalism.
- Losing a high-value tree is costly, slow to replace, and often irreversible.
What changes
- Standalone, wireless, autonomous
- No wiring, no visible hardware, no manual pulls — the GX-1F reports on its own and GAIN decides and alerts on its own.
- Early warning
- Catch developing root-zone stress weeks before it becomes visible in the canopy.
- Right water, right depth
- The flex cord reads to 44 inches — custom orders up to 5 meters — so water matches the full root profile, not a fixed schedule.
- Documented care
- Give clients and ownership a continuous record of tree health decisions.
Typical deployment
What goes in the ground
- GX-1F Flex Sensor — tree specialized, standalone and wireless, invisible just-under-surface install with a flex cord reading a 1 to 44 inch profile (custom orders up to 5 meters); works with or without the iQ SmartWell
- AI weather intelligence for site-specific ET, rainfall, and forecasts
- Autonomous GAIN alerts and per-tree recommendations in the field app
The hardware, up close
Two ways to install. One invisible footprint.
iQ SmartWell
The permanent in-ground well, RFID-enabled with BLE. Sensors install inside it and can be repositioned or swapped without re-digging.
GX-1F Flex Sensor — SmartWell install
This open configuration drops into the iQ SmartWell, sitting just under the surface with nothing visible above ground.
2-year warranty with SmartWell
GX-1F Flex Sensor — standalone
The fully standalone, wireless configuration: buried directly in the root zone with no well required.
1-year warranty standaloneOpen API
No walled gardens. Your data goes wherever you need it.
GAIN is built as an open, bidirectional platform. Root-zone telemetry streams out to any system you run, and context streams back in — irrigation run times, agronomic events, imagery, weather — so every prediction is made with the full picture. You own your data, and you can move it.
Integrates at will
REST endpoints, webhooks, scoped API keys, and scheduled exports. If a platform speaks HTTP, GroundWorx can speak to it.
Your data, portable
Raw and derived telemetry are exportable at any time, in open formats, to your own warehouse. No lock-in, no gatekeeping, no export fee.
