High-resolution aerial imagery is the tech tool that lets you efficiently prospect new customers from your desk. You can evaluate the feasibility of potential new opportunities without spending time and money on potentially unproductive site visits. This is key to identifying potential new business opportunities.
By comparing images from historical and current surveys, you can spot property changes that have occurred over time to gain useful insights.
Bidding for new business also takes on a new dimension with high-resolution aerial imagery. The ability to scan large areas of land from a bird’s eye view identifies prospects faster and helps you win service contracts more efficiently and at a faster scale than competitors who are still traveling to make on-site measurements for old-style quotes.
Whether you’re in the business of landscape, paving, fence design, roofing, solar, or pools, here’s a closer look at some of the ways you can improve your day-to-day operations and overall business success with aerial imagery.

AI and 3D capabilities
High-resolution aerial imagery can deliver more than just photos. Technology like AI layers and 3D reality models are helping automate the identification of crucial elements. With a few clicks, you can spot which properties across a suburb have no solar panels, inspect elements like tree overhang, see roof conditions, and measure height, pitch, and length to create more accurate assessments and estimates. You can do this across small (property level) or large (suburbs, towns, and cities) areas, covering streets, suburbs, or regions and towns to give you a more informative view.
Time and cost savings
Old-school prospecting, with site visits and manual measurement takes time and resources. With aerial imagery, you can remotely assess potential job sites, measure dimensions, and generate quotes. This cuts travel time and costs associated with site visits (hourly rates and fuel). This means you can complete more estimates each day, qualifying potential clients remotely, and prospecting only the projects that are most likely to yield positive financial outcomes.
Greater accuracy and precision
High-resolution aerial imagery lets you take more accurate measurements, mark-up notes in projects, and share clearer visual plans. Using built-in measurement tools, your quotes and proposals can accurately reflect the scope of work. This eliminates guesswork and reduces errors, leading to more successful project outcomes and more satisfied customers.
Improved client communications
Aerial imagery makes it easier for your clients to understand proposals and quotes through imagery that clearly illustrates proposed changes and shows expected outcomes. With aerial imagery, you can also clarify property details, highlight potential challenges or opportunities, and address any client concerns.

3 steps to grow your property services business
1. Take accurate measurements & create impactful quotes
Aerial imagery lets you take accurate measurements and generate quotes more easily. Using measurement tools such as line, area, and radius, you can quickly calculate the area of sections, add notes to images, and provide clients with detailed cost estimates with a clear aerial snapshot of their property.
Aerial imagery helps you accurately locate and analyze properties, measure dimensions, mark images with cost estimate notes, and export the imagery as a proposal — all within minutes. This helps you showcase your designs and show the expected scope of work. Being able to quickly generate proposals with accurate information gives you an advantage in securing new projects.
2. Optimize field service delivery
Aerial imagery can help you optimize operations, especially when working on projects adjacent to existing structures or in complex environments. By verifying height, width, and other critical factors remotely, you can confidently plan landscaping, paving, pool installations, and more. This eliminates the need for multiple site visits and minimizes errors or delays.
3. Deliver a more satisfying customer experience
With the help of high-resolution aerial imagery, you can show progress and demonstrate the effectiveness of your projects. By comparing historical imagery to current aerial maps, you can validate work done, settle customer disputes, and provide evidence of improvements made over time.
Aerial imagery can also help you identify potential issues such as lawn degradation. This proactive approach to maintenance not only enhances the customer experience but also helps retain clients and generate positive referrals.
High-resolution aerial imagery is transforming the property service industry, offering a powerful tool to streamline operations, win more business, and improve the customer experience.
