Land Services

What Land Services does

Land Services, Inc. (LSI) is a private, founder-held consulting firm established in 1990 by Mike and Diane Takac and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The firm delivers three integrated service lines — Right of Way Services, Environmental Services, and Construction & Mapping Services — applied across eight infrastructure industry verticals: Communications, Electric Transmission, Natural Gas Pipeline, Petroleum Pipeline, Public Sector and Utility, Solar Energy, Transportation, and Wind Energy. Cumulative scope includes over 35,000 project-miles across the continental United States and Hawaii, with additional work performed in Canada. Underlying tooling is conventional geospatial and design software — ArcGIS for GIS mapping and analysis, AutoCAD for computer-aided design, and internal IT management platforms for project coordination — rather than proprietary or AI-native technology.

The firm sells on a project-based professional services model with no recurring subscription component. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per project scope, tied to milestones and completion rather than to a published rate card. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, targeting utilities, oil and gas operators, renewable energy developers, transportation agencies (state DOTs), telecommunications carriers, and federal/state/local government entities. Engagement structures are multi-phase and frequently multi-state, requiring sustained relationship management with major infrastructure developers and public agencies. LSI positions its regulatory expertise (CEQA, NEPA, ESA, FERC) and established agency relationships as the primary basis of competitive differentiation, supplemented by 30+ years of operating history and a national delivery footprint.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range, and the company has no external investment, parent entity, or subsidiaries identified. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, trademarks, certifications, or formal partnerships in the source data, consistent with a privately held, operationally focused services business.
