Land Clearing & Reclamation
Brush, trees, and years of overgrowth cleared and reclaimed — turning unusable acreage back into open, accessible ground that is worth more.

Walking a property tells you only so much. From the ground you cannot see how the tract drains, where the old roads run, how the boundaries actually lie, or how many deer the land really holds — so plans get made on guesswork, and listings get marketed with photos that undersell the property.
As an FAA Part 107 Certified Drone Pilot, Mike captures high-resolution aerial imagery and mapping across Rayville, Monroe, Ruston, Bastrop and across Northeast Louisiana — planning tools for clearing, road layout, and habitat design, marketing imagery that sells land, and drone-based deer herd assessments that show you the game your property actually carries.
Drainage patterns, encroachment, old access routes, timber transitions, and the real lay of the land are invisible at ground level. For hunters, the biggest unknown is the herd itself — how many deer, what quality, and how they use the property. Decisions made without that picture cost money: plots in the wrong place, roads that fight the terrain, listings that undersell.
We fly the property and turn what we capture into decisions: high-resolution imagery and mapping to plan clearing, access, ponds, and plots before a machine ever rolls; documentation of the work before and after; and for hunting land, drone-based deer herd assessments that reveal travel corridors, bedding, and the herd your habitat actually holds.
For land going on the market, strong aerial imagery is the difference-maker — it shows buyers the whole property, the access, and the potential in a way ground photos never can.
Aerial intelligence protects every dollar you put into the land — improvements get planned around the real terrain, not assumptions. It sharpens your hunting strategy with herd data instead of hunches. And when it is time to sell, professional drone imagery directly improves marketability: it is the standard for serious rural listings, and it is the same imagery Mike uses to market properties as a land specialist with America’s Land Partners.

“I think the thermal video illustrates how well my thermal sensors detect animals. Some of those deer were around 1000 feet away from the drone.”Mike Martien
A thermal flight at 400 feet above ground level. Every bright spot on the dark field is a deer picked up by the thermal sensor, some of them around a thousand feet from the drone.

The optical camera at 400 feet above ground level, looking straight down on a herd feeding in an open field. This is the footage a deer herd assessment is counted from.

A sunset flyover of a pond, its banks and the surrounding timber at 400 feet above ground level, the kind of aerial imagery that goes into a property plan or a land listing.
