FAA Part 107 & 137 Certified Aerial Applicator
Expert herbicide, fungicide, PGR, and mosquito applications for golf courses, native areas, farms, and municipalities across Ohio and the Midwest — flown by certified pilots, guided by RTK-GPS, documented to the acre.
What we do
Applications customized to your goals, site conditions, and timing — no ruts, no compaction, no crews wading through steep or wet ground.
Targeted herbicide programs that keep fescue and native stands clean from May to Labor Day — the application our golf course clients build agronomic plans around.
Fungicides, PGRs, and herbicides applied with course-aware precision by a team with two decades of golf and sports-turf contracting behind it.
Efficient aerial application for row crops and specialty fields — cover more acres in less time with prescription-grade accuracy.
Targeted larvicide and adulticide programs for residential communities, parks, and municipal spaces.
Survey-grade 2D orthomosaics and full 3D course models, plus LIDAR and thermal inspection services.
Invasive and unwanted vegetation control on utility corridors, pond edges, slopes, and anywhere ground equipment can't safely go.
Why drone application
Map first, spray smart
We fly survey-grade HD GPS-RTK imagery and build full 3D models of your property. Treatment areas are drawn to the square foot, acreage is computed geodetically, and every application is planned — and recorded — against the real map.
Our software
We didn't just buy drones — we built the platform that runs the operation. DroneSpray.ai handles our course mapping, tank-mix calculations, compliance checks, and spray records — and it's available to superintendents and operators too.
How it works
We fly your property, build the map, mark treatment areas and buffers with you, and quote from exact acreage.
Certified pilots fly the application with RTK precision — right product, right rate, right place, right conditions.
You receive complete application records with as-applied coverage maps — ready for your files, your board, or your regulator.

What superintendents say
"We treated our native areas in May, followed by a second application four weeks later, and the results were exactly what I was hoping for. This technology has earned a permanent place in my agronomic program, and I plan to continue expanding the treated acreage moving forward."
"Phil and his team were professional, responsive, and clearly knew what they were doing. What impressed me most was the combination of precision, communication, and overall professionalism. It's clear they understand golf course conditions and how to apply this technology in a practical way."
"Communication was exceptional — the pilots were professional, punctual, and highly skilled. I'd recommend Aero Precision Drones to any turf manager who values detailed applications and large-area coverage."
Questions
Yes. Aero Precision Drones operates under FAA Part 137 (agricultural aircraft operations) with Part 107 certified remote pilots, and applications are made by licensed pesticide applicators according to each product's label.
Native and fescue areas, steep slopes, bunker faces, pond and stream edges, wet ground, and anywhere ground equipment causes damage or can't safely operate. We also fly full-coverage fairway and agricultural applications.
Typically 10–20 acres per hour depending on product, rate, and site conditions — roughly double conventional ground methods, with up to 90% less labor on site.
Our standard golf program is a late-spring application followed by a second pass about four weeks later. Clients typically stay clean from May through Labor Day, with programs customized to your species mix and site.
Every job produces a complete commercial application record — products, rates, EPA registration numbers, weather, and as-applied GPS coverage maps — generated through our own DroneSpray.ai platform.
We're based in Ohio and serve golf courses, farms, and municipalities across the Midwest. For projects further afield, call us — we travel for the right work.
