A wooded tract just looks like trees

From the road, most land listings are a tree line and a sign. Buyers and developers want to know where the property starts and stops, how much frontage it has, how it is accessed, and what is nearby. A boundary overlay answers all of that in one image.

The parcel outline is drawn from county parcel data or the survey or plat you provide, then aligned to the aerial photo. Roads, interchanges, schools, neighborhoods, and new development are labeled so the location sells itself, whether the buyer is local or reviewing the listing from another state.

Built for difficult land

Heavily wooded tracts

Shots are flown from outside the tract at the far corners, where distance shows more of the property than altitude can. Leaf-off season, from November on, opens up creeks and road lines.

Large acreage

Stitched wide-angle panoramas from near the 400-foot limit capture large tracts in a single frame, with a road in every hero shot for orientation.

Irregular and multi-tract parcels

Only the parcels you are marketing are outlined, even when an owner's other tracts sit next door.

Development sites

Overlays highlight access, utilities corridors, nearby rooftops, and traffic generators that developers look for first.

Who uses boundary overlays

Land and investment brokers marketing raw land, pad sites, and development tracts. Developers and owners presenting a site to partners or lenders. Estates and family owners selling acreage that is hard to show from the road.

Every flight is flown by an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot with $1 million in liability coverage. Certificates naming the broker or owner as additional insured are available at booking.

Land and overlay questions

How accurate are the boundary lines?

The outline is drawn from county parcel data or the survey or plat you provide and aligned to the photo using the drone's GPS position, heading, and camera angle. It is a marketing graphic that shows buyers the property's shape and location, not a legal survey.

Can you photograph heavily wooded land?

Yes. Wooded tracts are shot from outside the property at the far corners, where distance shows more of the land than altitude can, and stitched panoramas capture large tracts in one frame. Leaf-off season, from November on, shows creeks and road lines more clearly.

How high can the drone fly?

FAA Part 107 limits flights to 400 feet above the ground in most airspace. For large tracts, wide panoramas from near that height show more of the property than a single photo.

What do you need from me?

The address or parcel ID, the acreage, a survey or plat if you have one, the landmarks or roads you want labeled, and your listing deadline.

Can you add the boundary to video?

Yes. Land and development videos can include motion-tracked boundary lines that stay on the parcel as the camera moves. 6K capture is available for large projects.

How fast will I get the photos?

Edited photos and boundary overlays are delivered within 48 hours of the flight. Video delivery dates are confirmed when you book. Call or text 901-497-5656 for a quote.
