Agricultural Farm Mapping
Clear orthomosaics for paddock boundaries, drainage lines, tracks, and infrastructure — practical maps farmers and contractors can use.
Who it is for
- Farm owners updating paddock and boundary maps
- Drainage and earthworks contractors
- Farm consultants needing a current aerial base
- Lifestyle block owners planning fencing or plantings
Flight overview
- Brief on area, resolution, and what you need mapped
- Systematic photogrammetry flight over the property
- Optional thermal pass for wet or stressed areas when useful
- Processing into orthomosaic and simple overlays
Deliverables
- High-resolution orthomosaic of the mapped area
- Boundary and feature markup as scoped
- Drainage / track / infrastructure notes where requested
- Files ready for print or GIS use (formats agreed at quote)
Turnaround
Most farm maps within 5–10 business days depending on hectares and weather windows.
Coverage
Waikato farms are our home ground. Wider North Island by arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
How does weather affect farm mapping?
We need a calm, clear enough day for photogrammetry. Fog in the valleys and strong afternoon winds are common Waikato stoppers — we wait for a workable window rather than deliver blurry mosaics.
What access and consent do you need?
A safe launch area on the property, awareness of stock and people, and confirmation you control (or have permission for) the airspace we will cover. Neighbouring dwellings close to the flight path may need a heads-up.
What is in a typical farm map pack?
A high-resolution orthomosaic of the agreed area, boundary/feature markup as scoped, and notes on drainage, tracks, or infrastructure when requested. Print- and GIS-ready files in formats we agree at quote.
Turnaround for a few hundred hectares?
Most maps land in 5–10 business days after flight, depending on hectares and weather. Very large blocks are phased — we quote the stages clearly.
Part 101 on rural properties?
Rural jobs usually fit Part 101 well, provided we keep visual line of sight and stay clear of people and stock not involved in the operation. Powerlines and nearby airstrips are flagged in the briefing.
