"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."

The "wetness index" technology that reveals which flat spots become seasonal swamps — so you never build where water wants to live.
Topographic Wetness
Index
Most driveways follow the shortest path to the house. But did you know the gentlest grade often takes a longer route? Make access effortless instead of exhausting.

What way your south-facing slope is really facing — and why true directional exposure determines whether solar panels pay for themselves or disappoint.
Slope Aspect
What never to build on slopes steeper than 15% without massive earthwork costs — the grade threshold that separates manageable from bankruptcy-inducing.
Slope Angle
Which slopes are too steep for your tractor to safely handle? 10 classifications that keep you and your equipment safe.
Slope Angle
Hillshade Analysis
The surprising drainage pathways hidden in "flat" property — terrain structure that shows you where water really flows when listings say "gently sloping."
Aspect / Angle Composite
If you've ever wondered why one part of your property feels warm while another stays cold, then discover the combined effect of steepness and direction.
Higher ground is always safer, right? Wrong! The truth about why some hilltops collect water like bowls.
Topographic Wetness
Index
Where storm water turns into land-destroying erosion — the precise paths runoff takes during heavy rain that can wash away your investment.
Flow
Accumulation
The one-click discovery that finds north-facing slopes for root cellars, east-facing for morning gardens, and south-facing for passive solar housing.

DANGER: The grade that looks manageable but rolls tractors — percentage thresholds that prevent equipment disasters.
Hillshade Analysis
The 3D-like vision that reveals your land's ridges and valleys — so you can read terrain structure like a topographic expert.
The optimal combination of slope angle and direction for natural heating and cooling — positioning that minimizes energy costs.

"When I was brought on to consult on a 2,000-hectare biodynamic farming project in Poland, I needed comprehensive land analysis to validate our ambitious restoration plans. LandScope's mapping service delivered invaluable insights - their topographic wetness index perfectly aligned with our proposed pond placements, providing scientific validation for our design decisions.
LandScope's detailed mapping package gave us the confidence to move forward with our plans and proved instrumental in presenting our proposal to stakeholders, securing their buy-in for our approach."

Here's what comes standard in each LandScope mapping package:
Just open the file, and all of these are ready to explore in Google Earth Pro.
Elevation
The foundation layer that shows you the no frills lay of the land — essential intelligence for any building, landscaping, or water management project.
Hillshade
3D-like terrain visualizations that reveals your land's natural architecture, making ridges, valleys, and drainage patterns pop out of the screen.
Contour Map Creator
Lines of equal elevation to reveal exactly how your land is shaped — so you'll read terrain like a natural instead of guessing. Comes in 0.5m, 1m, 2m, and 3m intervals (1.5', 3', 6', 9')
Slope Angle
The buildability guide that shows you gentle grades perfect for construction and steep slopes that require special planning.
Slope Aspect
Precise directional mapping showing which slopes face north, south, east, west — and every angle in between. Perfect for optimizing the placement of energy systems, gardens, orchards, and passive solar houses.
Slope Angle / Aspect Composite
The site selection optimizer that combines steepness with directional exposure — instantly revealing the sweet spots where manageable slopes meet favorable solar orientation for energy-efficient building placement.
Topographic Wetness Index
Natural saturation mapping that shows you exactly where water wants to accumulate based on terrain shape — so you can confidently place buildings on solid ground and design water features where they'll actually hold water year-round.
Flow Accumulation
Storm water intelligence that reveals the precise paths runoff takes across your property during heavy rain — essential for preventing erosion disasters and positioning water harvesting infrastructure where it'll capture the most resources.
Drainage Network
4 drainage sensitivity levels that reveal where water flowing in and out of the boundaries when you're not looking: Micro, minor, intermediate, and major drainage intelligence that shows you nature's plumbing system before it floods your plans.
Landform Types
Storm water intelligence that reveals the precise paths runoff takes across your property during heavy rain — essential for preventing erosion disasters and positioning water harvesting infrastructure where it'll capture the most resources.

"As an acreage owner and ecological land designer, I can confidently say that 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 LandScope'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."

A word from the founder
G'day,
​
Every successful landscape project starts with the same foundation: truly understanding your site.
But getting this essential knowledge has always meant an annoying choice:
• spend weeks learning complex GIS software,
• or wait months while paying thousands for consultants and surveys.
LandScope was born from this challenge.
We've automated professional-grade terrain analysis to deliver critical site insights in hours, if not minutes, instead of weeks.
Drawing from experience as a regenerative landscape designer, earth systems scientist, programmer, and farmer, I've distilled the most impactful geospatial layers to reveal your site's current characteristics, in addition to unseen risks and potential.
​
Today, we're empowering property owners and professionals to make confident, nature-aligned decisions without the traditional barriers of cost, time, and technical complexity.
So, whether you're a resiliently minded landscape architect, a watershed restoration practitioner, a current or prospective property owner wanting to understand a parcel of land, or a regenerative agriculture consultant assessing farm potential, you can now access the insights needed to work in harmony with the landscape.
Get terrain clarity today to transform how you understand and work with your land.
Let's frickin' grow,
​
Mitch Rawlyk
