Precision landforming for working farms.

Get the water moving right. Make the field easier to farm.

Practical RTK GPS landforming and leveling for real farm conditions.

Uneven land wastes water, time, and yield. We shape fields so water moves more evenly, wet and dry patches are reduced, and the land is easier to manage through the season. We use these systems on our own farm, so we know how they need to work in practice.

Landforming uses up to 0% less soil movement than landleveling

Landforming

What is Landforming?

Landforming shapes the field so water can move properly across it. Instead of forcing everything flat, it works with the natural shape of the land to guide water better, move less soil, and improve how the field performs.

Land Leveling

What is Land Leveling?

Land leveling flattens a field to create a more even surface for irrigation. It removes high and low spots so water can spread more evenly, but it usually means moving more soil and taking out some of the land’s natural shape.

Comparison

Landforming vs Land Leveling

Landforming
  • Uses significantly less soil movement
  • Works with natural land shape
  • Improves water flow and drainage
  • More efficient over large areas
  • Reduces unnecessary cost and time
Land Leveling
  • Requires heavy soil movement
  • Flattens natural land structure
  • Can increase water runoff in some cases
  • Higher fuel and time requirements

If you want better water movement with less disturbance to the land, landforming is often the better fit.

What We Do

We shape fields so water works for you, not against you.

We use RTK GPS landforming and land leveling to help farmers get more even water movement across the field. When the land is shaped properly, irrigation becomes easier to manage and the whole hectare works more evenly.

That means fewer wet spots, fewer dry spots, less wasted water, and a field that is easier to plant, irrigate, and manage through the season.

Why It Matters

Better land shape helps the whole farm work better.

01

Protect Your Soil

Less compaction helps protect soil structure and keeps the field easier to work after irrigation or rain.

02

More Even Water Flow

When the field is shaped properly, water spreads more evenly so you get fewer wet and dry patches.

03

Lower Running Costs

Less wasted movement, less repeat work, and better water use can help bring day-to-day farming costs down.

04

More Productive Fields

More even watering helps crops come up more evenly and keeps the field performing more consistently.

About Us

Built from Real Farming Experience

We farm ourselves in the Cedarville Flats. Our story started in the 1960s when William Botha established the farm, and over the years we have built a mixed farming operation with sheep, cattle, maize, soybeans, and pastures.

Since 2020, we have used landforming on our own farm and tested it in real conditions. We have seen what works, what does not, and where the details matter.

That means we are not coming in with theory only. We work from practical farming experience, and every job starts with understanding your land, your water, and what needs to work on your farm.

Start by understanding the field

Every field is different. We start by looking at your land properly.
