Services We Offer

Drone Spraying (DJI T50)

Precise spraying of gorse, lupin, blackberry, thistles and more — even on steep, wet, or rough terrain.

Seeding & Spreading

Aerial delivery of pasture seed, slug bait, or fertiliser. Ideal for re-seeding, erosion-prone hillsides, or inaccessible areas.

Multispectral Mapping

Crop scans using NDVI and vegetation indexes to highlight stressed or healthy areas and guide input decisions.

Native Planting Prep

Targeted weed control before native planting. Reduces regrowth and improves survival rates.

Forestry & Reserve Work

Spray waterways, bush blocks, fence lines, or wetlands safely with no need for foot access.

Building & Property Inspections

Visual drone inspections for sheds, roofs, infrastructure, and large properties — reducing risks and saving time on tall structures.
