Drone crop spraying in San Juan Capistrano.
Strata UAV flies aerial application and crop mapping across San Juan Capistrano — the mission town where south-county farming holds on in the creek valleys and canyons, in Orange County. From our Carlsbad base we spray nursery & greenhouse stock, citrus, avocados, and row vegetables on the groves and fields around San Clemente, Dana Point, and Ladera Ranch, with even-coverage or variable-rate application flown under FAA Part 137 and a California Qualified Applicator License.
South-county growing happens in close quarters — nursery yards and small groves tucked along San Juan Creek, hillside avocados up toward Ortega, and equestrian neighbors who notice everything. The T100 covers those odd-shaped parcels on a logged flight plan, scheduled around the marine layer so product goes on in still morning air. You keep your PCA and supply the product; we bring the aircraft and the licensed pilot.

What San Juan Capistrano growers ask us
Can you treat outdoor nursery and container stock?
Field-grown blocks and outdoor container yards, yes — uniform coverage over a big block of cans is exactly what a logged aerial pass is good at. Covered houses are the one thing we can't fly; those stay with your ground program.We're surrounded by horse properties — how do you handle that?
Carefully and on the record: coarse droplets, label buffer zones, and honest wind calls. If a heads-up to the barn next door makes everyone's day easier, we'll time the flight with them — and you get the GPS coverage map showing exactly where product went.Can you reach the avocados up the canyons?
Those canyon groves fly the same way our Fallbrook home turf does — terrain-following passes that hold height over slopes a tractor can't safely work, with RTK keeping every swath on line.
