What is it about?

Fertilizing without setting foot on the ground

The drone flies close above the turf and spreads granular lawn fertilizer or sprays liquid fertilizer, micronutrients and lime in an even pattern: pass by pass, GPS-guided, without a single wheel on the surface. No compaction, no tracks in wet soil, no waiting for dry paths. We start when the ground is free and finish before it is needed.

Who it is for

Four surfaces, one method

Golf course

Fairways and semi-rough evenly supplied, without compacting the soil. We fly before the first tee time, the greens are left out.

Sports ground and stadium

Between training and the match, the pitch is fertilized in ten minutes. No tracks in the turf, no interruption to play.

Turf production

Even crop management on large fields: the same rate on every square metre, even when the soil cannot be driven on after rain.

What we apply

Spread and sprayed: what your turf needs

Spreading lawn fertilizer

Granules with the spreader unit, evenly right up to the edge: the standard application in spring, summer and autumn.

Liquid fertilizer

Nitrogen, potassium and more in solution, for even growth and a dense sward.

Foliar feeding and micronutrients

Nutrients straight through the leaf when the turf needs to react quickly, including manganese, magnesium, zinc and other trace elements targeted against deficiencies.

Liquid lime

For pH and soil structure, finely distributed rather than in clumps.

Biostimulants

Seaweed extracts, amino acids and humic substances for vitality and less stress in heat and drought.

Iron

For a rich, dark green, without residue on paths and edges.

You supply the product, we apply it. If you do not have one yet, we advise you on what suits your area and your goal. We do not name brands or rates in advance: we decide that together based on the turf, the season and the use.

In the order portal you choose directly: Fertilize sports field / lawn for granules or Foliar / liquid fertilization for everything that is sprayed.

In practice

Turf in September: three flights, 134 kilograms of granules

A turf business wanted to fertilize after rain without driving the spreader onto the soft ground. The drone spread the lawn fertilizer in three flights, evenly across the whole area, without a single track in the turf and with a record for each flight.

DJI Agras T50 in flight while applying
Technology in brief

What is flying up there

A DJI Agras T50 with up to 50 kilograms of payload and up to 20 hectares per hour. The drone flies the planned passes with GPS precision, overlap and edge distance are set beforehand. Granules are spread by the spreader unit, liquids are sprayed through nozzles with adjustable droplet size: fine for foliar feeding, coarser for lime and windy days.

Frequently asked questions

What groundskeepers and greenkeepers ask us beforehand

When do you fly, and when not?

We fly in winds of up to about 5 metres per second and without rain. Wet soil is no obstacle, the drone does not touch it. For foliar feeding we wait for a dry window of a few hours so the product stays on the leaf. We set the date together in the weather window, usually early in the morning.

Does the ground have to be closed?

Only the fairway or pitch currently being flown, and only for the minutes of the overflight. There is no need to close off the whole facility. On golf courses we fly before the first tee time, on sports grounds between two uses, in parks in the early morning hours.

Who takes care of the permit?

We handle the flight planning and the documentation. We clarify with you beforehand whether your area needs a special permit. For facilities close to residential areas or airfields we check this beforehand and tell you what is possible before you commit.

How large does the area need to be?

A single pitch is already worthwhile, and we can bundle several grounds into one date. There is no upper limit: we fly golf courses with 30 hectares of playing area or turf fields in one day.

How quickly can I get a date?

Price range right away, firm quote within 24 hours, job usually within a week, depending on weather and season. If you fertilize regularly, you get fixed dates across the season and do not have to enquire each time.

What does lawn fertilization by drone cost?

The price depends on area, product and travel. You see your price range on this page in 30 seconds; we email you the firm quote within 24 hours of your enquiry. Several grounds on one date share the travel.

Region

Where we fly

The Lake Constance district, Linzgau, Hegau, Upper Swabia, the Allgäu and eastern Switzerland: that is our core area. We are happy to fly golf and sports facilities further away if several grounds can be bundled on one day. Just ask, we will tell you honestly whether it fits.
