Our Services
Drone Spraying
Drone Aerial Surveys & Mapping
Drone Aerial Surveys & Mapping
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are revolutionizing large-scale farming, particularly in agricultural spraying, thanks to their numerous advantages. Drones have quickly become indispensable tools for professional farming in Australia, offering unmatched efficiency and precision.
Efficiency and Precision in Spraying
Our agricultural spraying drones significantly increase coverage and efficiency, delivering faster and more accurate spray applications over large areas compared to traditional backpack sprayers. With benefits like water conservation and precise chemical application, our drones ensure optimal results with up to 95% coverage, surpassing other aerial methods.
Comprehensive, Independent Service
Our operators are fully trained and licensed in chemical handling, ensuring safe and compliant application every time. Equipped with a Kestrel device, we record precise weather conditions to optimize spraying accuracy. Our setup includes a trailer and generator, allowing us to operate independently from the client. All we require from you are the crop details, the necessary chemicals, signed documentation, and property access.

Drone Aerial Surveys & Mapping
We harness the power of autonomous drones to perform precise 2D and 3D agricultural surveying. Our advanced multispectral camera drones enable us to create detailed ortho maps, which are essential for evaluating crop health. These insights help us target problem areas more effectively, reducing costs and improving overall efficiency.
Expert Drone Specialists
Our team of drone specialists are experts in utilizing cutting-edge technology for aerial mapping. Equipped with highly accurate navigation systems, our drones can survey large areas quickly and with precision, capturing intricate data that traditional methods often miss.
Benefits of Drone Mapping
Drones offer a faster, more cost-effective, and accurate alternative to traditional surveying methods. For instance, what might take a ground surveyor 2-4 hours to cover a quarter-acre lot, or 6-8 hours to survey a 3-acre area on foot, can be accomplished by a drone in just minutes. Drones easily navigate dense vegetation and challenging terrain, enhancing both safety and efficiency.
Drone Spreading & Seeding

Drone Spreading & Seeding
Our advanced aerial drone spreader is designed to efficiently disperse granular seeds, fertilizers, or pesticides over large areas. Capable of covering up to 12 acres of land per hour, our drones accomplish in minutes what would take 150 laborers to complete manually.
Uniform and Precise Spreading for Maximum Impact
Achieve uniform spreading and seeding with our drone solutions, engineered for both efficiency and accuracy. Whether you're broadcasting seeds, applying fertilizers, or distributing cover crops, our drones ensure consistent coverage across your fields. Equipped with high-speed, focused airflow, the powerful spinner system precisely delivers granules exactly where they’re needed, optimizing crop health and yield.
Perfect for Challenging Terrain
Our drone spreading service is ideal for areas that are difficult to access with traditional machinery. We help you get the job done quickly and effectively, even in challenging conditions, ensuring your fields are treated with the utmost precision.
Drone Asset Inspections
Livestock & Wildlife Monitoring
Drone Spreading & Seeding
We provide high-resolution drone asset inspections to help businesses efficiently monitor and maintain critical infrastructure. Using advanced drone technology, we deliver fast, safe, and cost-effective inspections for a variety of assets, eliminating the need for manual climbing or expensive equipment.
Our Asset Inspection Services Include:
- Solar Farms: Thermal and RGB imaging to detect panel defects and efficiency losses.
- Buildings & Roofs: High-resolution inspections to identify damage, leaks, or structural concerns.
- Powerlines & Towers: Safe aerial assessments to check for wear, corrosion, or vegetation encroachment.
- Farm Infrastructure: Inspections of silos, storage facilities, and fencing to assist in preventative maintenance.
With RTK-precision GPS mapping and thermal imaging options, our drone inspections offer detailed reporting to help you make informed maintenance decisions.
Drone Whitewashing
Livestock & Wildlife Monitoring
Livestock & Wildlife Monitoring
At OzGuard Drone Services, we offer efficient and precise drone whitewashing solutions for greenhouses, ensuring optimal light control and temperature regulation. Using advanced drone technology, we can evenly apply shading compounds to large greenhouse surfaces quickly and safely, eliminating the need for scaffolding or manual labour.
Benefits of Drone Whitewashing:
- Efficiency: Faster application times reduce operational downtime.
- Precision: Uniform coverage ensures consistent shading and energy efficiency.
- Safety: Minimises risks associated with working at heights.
We primarily use ReduSystem products for our applications but are happy to accommodate other suitable alternatives based on your specific requirements.
Livestock & Wildlife Monitoring
Livestock & Wildlife Monitoring
Livestock & Wildlife Monitoring
We offer advanced thermal drone monitoring to assist farmers and land managers in efficiently tracking livestock and wildlife across large properties, day or night.
Our Services Include:
- Livestock Monitoring: Locate and count stock over vast areas, reducing time and labour costs.
- Missing or Stranded Animals: Quickly find lost cattle, sheep, or other livestock in difficult terrain.
- Wildlife Surveys & Pest Control: Monitor native species or detect feral animal activity for management purposes.
- Thermal Imaging: Identify heat signatures for accurate detection, even in low-visibility conditions.
