Our Origin Story
After over a decade of the grueling 9-5, something had to change...
Work Ethic Turned Purpose
Known for his unwavering work ethic, Tyler wanted to channel that same drive into something greater — something that could make an impact beyond a paycheck.
The Dream That Sparked The Idea
The dream of working for himself, finding financial security, and gaining more time with family became the motivation behind starting Horizon Homesteads.
Building a Better Future
Step by step, the vision turned into action — investing hours, research, and determination into creating a business that helps others plan, build, and protect what matters most.
Leaving A Legacy
More than just a business, this became a mission to build something lasting — a legacy that reflects hard work, family values, and the freedom to live life on your own terms.
What We Stand For
Precision. Integrity. Innovation. That’s the foundation behind every flight we take.
Precision You Can Count On
Our RTK-enabled drones capture centimeter-level accuracy, allowing you to measure, plan, and visualize your land like never before.
Integrity in Every Flight
We value honesty and transparency — from quoting to delivery. Every flight and every report reflect the same care we’d expect for our own projects.
Innovation That Works for You
We’re constantly adapting new technologies, from 3D terrain modeling to thermal imaging, to ensure your data is not only detailed but actionable.
Family Values At Our Core
As a husband-and-wife team, we know the importance of building something that lasts. Our business is run with heart, teamwork, and a shared mission to help others build a better life through better information.
Our Vision
To make professional-grade aerial data accessible and useful for every property owner — from rural homesteads to large construction sites — while keeping the process personal, professional, and grounded in trust.
