Sky Shepherd Drones provides modern aerial spraying solutions for orchards, vineyards, shelter belts, and horticultural properties throughout the Waikato and beyond. Using the XAG P150 Max drone platform, we deliver precise, efficient, and targeted application designed to support crop health, protect productive growing areas, and help orchard owners manage spraying work with minimal disruption to the land and crop.

Orchard and horticultural spraying often requires a careful balance of accuracy, efficiency, and access. Traditional ground-based methods can be limited by row spacing, wet conditions, difficult terrain, sensitive root zones, and the risk of crop or soil damage from repeated vehicle traffic. Drone application provides a practical alternative by allowing product to be applied from above with minimal ground impact, while still delivering targeted coverage across the areas that need treatment.

Our orchard services are suited to a wide range of horticultural properties, including kiwifruit, avocado, citrus, blueberry, and other orchard or covered crop operations, as well as shelter belts, perimeter spraying, and hard-to-access areas around productive growing environments. Whether it’s targeted treatment within the orchard, spraying around boundaries and shelter belts, or managing areas that are awkward to reach with conventional equipment, Sky Shepherd Drones offers a modern and flexible aerial solution.

• Orchard spraying

• Shelter belt and boundary spraying
