M4 - PRECISION SURFACE MODELING

  • A Site Resource Like Never Before

    LU leads the industry in cutting-edge course mapping services affording unparalleled insights.  M4 – Map, Measure, Model, Manage – is a precision modeling program that delivers high-resolution surface maps. With airborne and terrestrial technologies, we produce world-class data sets that can be used in a wide range of land development and management applications. Since its inception, we have continued to evolve our industry-leading survey techniques and software platforms to address the unique needs of our clients, affording deliverables with unprecedented accuracy and unparalleled insights. Watch our explainer video to learn more.

  • Expertise You Can Trust

    Our FAA-certified drone operators develop and execute a flight path over client properties using a multirotor or fixed-wing drone. These specially designed drones use a combination of GPS and prescribed onboard sensors to create a high-resolution aerial image and hyper-accurate surface model of the property. We use 3D laser scanners that yield sub-centimeter accuracy for areas demanding heightened levels of precision.

How well do you really know your property?

M4 – Map. Measure. Model. Manage.  Each of the four components builds off the Map exercise in a stepwise fashion, adding value and new perspectives at every stage.

  • Map – aerial and terrestrial survey captures millions of data points processed through a suite of geospatial software to produce survey-grade deliverables.
  • Measure – collected data measurements include three-dimensional surface areas, material volumes, surface slopes, installed infrastructure locations, and plant health.
  • Model – gain new and valuable insights that inform capital planning and operational budgets.
  • Manage – leverage these new perspectives to see your property like never before.

  • Lost Rail Golf Club The highly anticipated 18-hole golf course was shaped from the rolling cropland overlooking the PlatteRead More
    The highly anticipated 18-hole golf course was shaped from the rolling cropland overlooking the Platte and Elkhorn Rivers near Omaha. The property was the terminus of a rail line abandoned in the early 1900s. The raised rail bed still transects the property and is a feature and backdrop for several holes. Lost Rail Golf Club’s vision was to create a golf club for golfers with no swimming pools, tennis courts, weddings, public events, etc. It is not another full amenity country club but rather designed to become a world-renowned golf experience. Landscapes Unlimited has been involved with the Lost Rail project since before the land was acquired. The vision for the facility was to create a remote, wilderness-type golf experience close to Omaha, Nebraska. Just 30 minutes from downtown, Lost Rail provides members & guests with a pure golf experience close to home.  The golf course components of the Lost Rail project include the 18-hole 7,300-yard course, a modern practice facility, and a seven-hole short course. From a project development standpoint, Landscapes managed:
    • clubhouse planning, design & construction
    • halfway house planning, design & construction
    • maintenance design, planning & construction
    • entry road and parking grading & construction
    • all associated infrastructure
    Lost Rail was a comprehensive turnkey program. Construction and Operations Management started before the land acquisition was finalized.  These phases included:
    • planning
    • design & permitting
    • construction
    • membership sales & marketing
    Landscapes Golf Management has now assumed responsibility for ongoing day-to-day golf club management. [modula id="2679"]
