"

I hold a Degree in Botany, a PhD in Evolutionary Biology. I recently received my Permaculture Design Certification. My practice is that of cultural ecology. I work with land, storytelling around land, cultural ecology, and exploring areas of land from a Cultural and BioRegional Perspective. I discovered LandScope at the time of my Permaculture Design Training. Mitch helped me with a small .kml file of the region I was mapping in my PDC. At the time, I was primarily interested in contouring. Already, LandScope far exceeded my expectations with its amazing contouring abilities. Since then, I have gone on to explore the richness of LandScope's other features. In addition to contouring, I was absolutely stunned by the Aspect layers, and the Hydrology and Drainage. These are particularly insightful for the collaborative work I am doing with our town’s Sustainability Group. We are keen to extend our knowledge of the drainage patterns around our town, which sits in a valley, with a canal running through the centre. LandScope has enabled me quite simply to do things I could not have done otherwise. It has been amazing. I am now looking to develop my own ecological services bringing in LandScope mapping, which I know will be of great interest and benefit to my clients. This is a truly awesome piece of software. It is easy to use. It is ultra-intuitive. The training videos on the LandScope website give a very clear idea of the experience the user will have. Highly recommended. I give LandScope Ten Stars, without hesitation. Use it. I think you will agree!

As an acreage owner and ecological land designer, I can confidently say that Mitch's work through LandScope is absolutely invaluable. The insights I gain from his land data packages save me dozens of hours in analysis - time I can now spend moving directly into the design phase. With Mitch's support, I'm able to produce initial assessments in half the time (or less), and present clients with a compelling, data-rich foundation for their property that feels like having a lifetime of information at their fingertips. On a personal level, the LandScope package has helped us validate key design decisions on our own property, especially around pond placement and water catchment areas. The confirmation that we were on the right track gave us real peace of mind, and the data even highlighted new opportunities we hadn't yet noticed. Mitch is top-notch, always approachable, incredibly knowledgeable, and impressively fast in delivering comprehensive, customized data packages. His deep passion for land and climate data analysis is evident in every detail of his work. I truly can't recommend LandScope enough for anyone working with land.

What Our Clients Say

Real stories from land professionals using LandScope

"Before LandScope, I walked the farm like a caretaker. I knew its rhythms... where fog lingered, how the soil shifted from ridge to hollow, where the water disappeared after a storm. But much of that knowledge lived in instinct. It was felt, not seen. When I saw what LandScope could do, I immediately understood its value. It didn’t replace intuition, it amplified it. Mitch translated what the land already knew into clear, visual truth. The terrain, hydrology, and climate data came alive in a way that deepened my relationship with the place. From a land manager’s perspective, it changed how I engage with Firefly Farm. I can now make restoration and permaculture decisions grounded in both experience and evidence. From a developer’s perspective, it reinforced what I’ve always believed — that regenerative design begins with listening to the land. LandScope simply gives that listening form and language. It’s rare to find technology that respects nature’s intelligence while making it more accessible. LandScope does exactly that. It’s not a map, it’s a necessary conversation you need to have with the land. — Chris Moeller, Land Steward, The Retreat at Firefly Farm"

"I utilize GIS mapping in many aspects of my work as a land designer, consultant, & developer. Recently, the LandScope mapping products helped me critically evaluate a property I am considering buying for my family as our personal residence. LandScope helped me identify risks and opportunities relative to our goals/criteria, create a list of things to examine on site, and form an initial list of price negotiation points - all before even seeing the site in person. The lightning-fast turn around time saved me days of mapping work, and allowed me to move quickly through the upfront phases of assessment - enabling a quality of work and depth of insight that would have been impossible to do through site visits alone. Mitch was personable, helpful, and professional. I highly recommend him & his team's products!"

"I am Silvia Quarta, and I am an Ecosystem Restoration trainer and practitioner. LandScope helped me have a large scale image of the runoff on our land, proving some theories we had already, and showing connections which weren't so clear. We're already working on water retention actions on the land, and being able to use LandScope makes it much easier and more reliable!"

"My family is based in the US and moving north to Michigan. We found a 10 acre property with a great house, but a wetland covers 70% of the acreage (see image for flood risk). We currently live in the woods with ravines, so we’re not as familiar with wetland habitat and the risks of flooding. We didn’t feel ready to put an offer on the house, but we also didn’t feel ready to spend thousands of dollars on a wetland delineation on land we were unsure we wanted to buy. LandScope helped us bridge the gap. Mitch pulled together a Google Earth package with overlays of elevation change, slopes, hydrology, and a bunch more detailed maps of the property. He sent us a helpful summary video and got on a video call to consult with us about the property. Shortly after our call with LandScope, we reached the decision to put in an offer. LandScope saved us time, money, and cut out the stress of feeling stuck not about our decision. It’s also just really cool to learn about the features and history of land."

"As someone who lives and works at Pragtree Farm, I thought I knew every inch of our land. When I got LandScope's mapping package, I was blown away. The detailed geospatial layers revealed patterns that explained so many of the landscape features I'd been observing daily. What would have taken days to compile manually was right there in front of me, helping me understand my own backyard in entirely new ways. For anyone doing regenerative design work, LandScope's affordable mapping system is a game-changer that turns complex site analysis into clear, actionable insights."

Frequently Asked Questions

LandScope processes LiDAR-derived elevation data into clear, intuitive terrain layers — showing slope, aspect, drainage, flow paths, and more. You simply draw a polygon or upload a .kml, and the analysis runs automatically. No PhD or GIS software needed.
We use high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) from LiDAR where available — the same data trusted by engineers and governments — and satellite-based DEMs where LiDAR coverage isn't available.
LiDAR data can be precise down to sub-meter accuracy. By and large, the terrain insights you'll be experiencing are all thanks to 1m (~3 feet) resolution data. You'll see the same level of detail used in hydrological and engineering assessments — but presented in a way anyone can understand and act on.
In the U.S., most maps are ready within minutes. Elsewhere, where data sources differ, turnaround is usually under 72 hours.
Google Earth Pro (.kmz), GeoTIFF (.tif), shapefile (.shp), DXF (.dxf), and PNG (.png) — so you can use it in your own workflows or show clients visually, instantly.
Yes — absolutely.

While LandScope gives you professional-grade terrain intelligence in minutes, sometimes you need an expert to interpret the story your land is telling. That's where Mitch, the founder of LandScope, comes in.

With a background in Earth Systems Science, Applied Meteorology, and years of regenerative design consulting under his belt, Mitch helps landowners, developers, and design teams translate data into confident, actionable plans.

Whether you're planning infrastructure, ponds, access, or full watershed design — you can book an initial consult directly with Mitch here: www.mitch.earth

LandScope shows you what's there.
Mitch helps you decide what to do with it.
No. It's designed for anyone who works with land — homesteaders, developers, realtors, designers, or investors — no GIS background required.
Because Google Earth shows what the eye can see — not what water does.

LandScope reveals the invisible logic of terrain: where water pools, how it moves, and how the entire landscape ties together as one living system.

Free contour maps floating around the web are built from low-resolution elevation data. The difference at the property scale isn't subtle — it's the difference between guessing and knowing. Low resolution = low confidence = high cost.

LandScope runs on high-resolution LiDAR data, so you see every contour, slope, and flow path clearly and holistically. You don't just get a map — you get the truth about how your land behaves, before it costs you to find out the hard way.
Traditional GIS work can take weeks and cost thousands. LandScope delivers the same quality of insight — automated, instant, and at a fraction of the cost. And unlike PDFs that end up in drawers, LandScope maps are interactive and built to explore.
Falling in love with a view and ignoring the terrain. We've seen people spend five figures fixing what could've been avoided with five minutes of analysis. LandScope exists to make sure that never happens to you.
No — it supercharges your site visit. You'll walk the land knowing exactly where to look, saving hours (and sometimes thousands) by focusing on what matters most.
Even seasoned landowners miss patterns the terrain hides in plain sight. We've had experienced stewards discover drainage shifts, forgotten gullies, or microclimates they'd walked past for years. LandScope doesn't replace intuition — it validates it.
Contours, slope, aspect, hillshade, drainage, flow accumulation, wetness index, and more — 25+ layers that reveal how your land really works. Each one tells a part of the story. Together, they tell the truth.
It depends — but most users save 10x what they spend by avoiding misplaced structures, failed ponds, or flood-prone investments. Others win clients faster with visuals that instantly prove their expertise.
LandScope blends hard data with intuitive design. It's not a GIS tool — it's terrain intelligence for humans. You don't just get a map; you get clarity, confidence, and a new way of seeing the land.
That depends on where your site is located.

If you're in the U.S., 85% of the country has instant LiDAR coverage — which means your LandScope analysis will appear almost immediately inside your account.

If your site isn't covered instantly, don't worry — chances are we can still help you.

We'll run a complimentary data check, and if immediate LiDAR isn't available, we can:
  • locate alternate high-resolution LiDAR elevation data,
  • process it manually for you, or
  • arrange a LiDAR acquisition for your site if you want the highest-resolution terrain model possible.

To put your mind at ease: we've successfully delivered mapping packages across Canada, Mexico, the UK, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. If high quality terrain data exists — we can work with it. The bottom line is if we cannot support your site with reliable data, you don't pay — period.

Once your analysis is ready, you can unlock it using:
  • mapping credits via your LandScope Compass membership, or
  • a one-time purchase (independent mapping).

And if you'd like help confirming data availability — or arranging a LiDAR capture of your site — just email us at [email protected]. We're more than happy to assist.
Land consultants, regenerative designers, homesteaders, developers, engineers, and realtors — from boutique firms to national organizations — all using it to make faster, smarter land decisions.
Every purchase comes with a reference guide, and email support (email us any time at [email protected]). If you get stuck, you're never left hanging.
You'll get the clearest picture you've ever seen of your project site or property, faster than you could have ever imagined — and if it doesn't absolutely blow your mind, we'll courteously refund you.

All we ask is a quick 10-minute chat to understand what didn't hit the mark.

Just email [email protected], and we'll make it right.

Out of the hundreds of maps we've delivered worldwide, not one person has ever asked for a refund.

That's how confident we are that once you see your land through LandScope, you'll never look at terrain the same way again.

About Us

Founder, CEO
mitch.earth

I help people see land clearly.

Most mapping tools make you wrestle with software. My work is about removing that friction so designers, consultants, and land stewards can focus on what really matters—making good decisions that honor the landscape.

My background is in Earth Systems Science, Applied Meteorology, and regenerative design. I've spent years studying how water, weather, and terrain interact—and even more time watching people struggle to access that knowledge through clunky GIS workflows. That's why I built LandScope: a tool that turns complex geospatial analysis into an intuitive, visual experience.

With LandScope, you can outline a property and instantly see the patterns that shape it—elevation, slope, aspect, drainage, flow accumulation, and more—all formatted consistently, exportable, and ready to guide real-world design. What used to take days of processing or guesswork now takes seconds.

The goal isn't to replace intuition; it's to amplify it. I believe good design comes from listening—to data, to the land, and to the people who care for it. When those three align, decision-making becomes calm, confident, and regenerative by default.

Whether you're designing a restoration project, guiding clients through property planning, or simply seeking to understand the terrain beneath your feet, LandScope gives you the clarity to act wisely—and the confidence to know your choices will stand the test of time.
