Site Prescriptions and Recommendations

We are an aerial application company specializing in forestry applications. We work with consultants, industrial clients and private landowners by meeting with them, evaluating their tracts, discussing their desires and goals for their tracts and recommending the right prescription to best meet the landowner's desired results. Over the past 20 years we have made forestry applications throughout the Southeast on a repeat basis, having the pleasure of working for and with many manufacturers, distributors, paper companies, consultants and landowners. Consequently, we have seen many different products at many different rates over many varying land types. Over this time frame while many people have come through the industry, we have remained, making note of all of the different products, prescriptions, successes and failures. These years of experience coupled with the fact that we have continued to revisit the same areas year after year, we have had the unique experience of learning what works and what does not. While some companies are only able to provide liquid applications, we are able to provide both liquid and granular herbicide applications in addition to fertilization applications, thus making available to the landowner all forestry application options. While we are not a distributor, we do hold a dealer's license offering for resale various products to end users. Due to the fact that we are not a distributor and do not benefit by promoting one product over another in order to meet distributorship goals and quotas, we are able to give an unbiased appraisal of your tract. We draw our income from application leaving us free to prescribe what we feel is the best product for each tract at the best value to our customers, dependent upon our customer's desires, be it lowest price or highest quality, all while accomplishing their vegetation control needs. We own and operate our own aircraft and support equipment, thus allowing us to control when and where they work.

Liquid Applications

Aerial Specialists, Inc. offers a wide range of liquid applications to fulfill our customers' needs and desires and is proud of our long established record of performing quality liquid applications, drawing upon 20 years of liquid application experience and well over one-half million acres applied on. Through a variety of aircraft types, boom types and configurations along with a diverse fleet of ground support units we are able to undergo all types of liquid applications. All aircraft are equipped with the most up to date guidance systems along with calibration control systems to provide the most accurate application available.

Granular Herbicide Applications

We have the capability of applying Velpar ULW or other granular products with one of our two Simplex granular low volume application units that has the capability of applying rates from 2 lbs. to 30 lbs. per acre. We started aerial application of Velpar ULW in 1989 when DuPont owned the units and provided a turn key service to the end user and since that time have applied over 150,000 acres of ULW over the 13 year period.

Fertilizer Applications

Additionally, we have the capability of high volume granular applications such as our forestry fertilization applications which we do throughout the southeast. We provide total turn key fertilization by owning and operating our own trucks and fertilizer transport units.
For our fertilization projects we predominately utilize the MD 500's. Due to the fact that the MD 500 has a five bladed, 26 foot rotor diameter it makes it an excellent choice for fertilization because the small rotor diameter allows it to work in tighter areas should an improved heliport not exist. Additionally, the 500 is unmatched in speed and maneuverability which is a primary reason for choosing it as our fertilization platform.

Aerial Seeding

Aerial Specialists, Inc. offers aerial seeding from high volume with under aircraft sling bucket or ultra low volume seeding (pine seeding) with one of our on board systems. These two systems allow us to apply seed rates from 3/4 of a pound to several hundred pounds per acre.

GIS Mapping

We have the capability of flying the perimeter of a tract and creating a GIS layer in turn giving us the acres to be applied, a shape file for the customer if desired or a printed map. Our normal procedure is to apply the area requested and if there is a discrepancy in the acreage predictions, post process the GIS data to obtain an accurate acreage figure which saves our application time and aircraft time and in turn saving our customers money. If a GIS layer is desired for all acres applied this is priced on a per package basis.    Click here for more info...
