Techniques that facilitate drone delivery and landing, particularly with respect to home and commercial package delivery, are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises: detecting, by a system comprising a processor, presence of a drone device within a defined vicinity of a protected area, wherein the protected area is accessible via an opening that is blocked by a physical barrier. The method further comprises controlling, by the system, access by the drone device to the protected area to drop off or pick up a package by controlling removal of the physical barrier based in part on detection of the drone device within the defined vicinity of the protected area.
