Drone Fertiliser & Seed Spreading
Efficient aerial spreading for hard-to-reach land.
Drone fertiliser and seed spreading for farms and hill country.
Precise application with reduced soil compaction, improved access and efficient results across Canterbury.
Where Aerial Spreading Works Best
Drone spreading is the ideal solution for areas where traditional equipment is limited by terrain, access or ground conditions. It provides accurate application of fertiliser, seed and other granular products across steep hill country, wet paddocks, slips and remote areas without causing soil compaction or damaging pasture.
Our aerial spreading service is also ideal when timing is critical, allowing farmers and landowners to take advantage of short weather windows and complete applications quickly and efficiently.
Overseeding & Pasture Establishment
Improve pasture growth with accurate aerial seed application.
Fertiliser & Granular Product Spreading
Precise spreading of fertiliser, lime, urea, seed and other granular products.
Slip & Erosion Recovery
Apply seed and fertiliser to slips, erosion sites and difficult-to-access areas.
Where It Can Be Used
Drone aerial spreading is the ideal solution for applying fertiliser, seed and other granular products in areas where traditional machinery is impractical or cannot operate safely, including:
- Steep hill country and rolling terrain
- Wet paddocks and soft ground
- Slips and erosion-prone areas
- Gullies and difficult-to-access land
- Forestry blocks and conservation areas
- Orchards, vineyards and lifestyle blocks
- Sites where timing and weather windows are critical
