Touch of Green GIS
Local GIS Services for the Quad Cities Region
Touch of Green GIS provides environmental GIS and spatial analysis services tailored to the Quad Cities region, including Moline, East Moline, Rock Island, Davenport, and Bettendorf, as well as surrounding areas of eastern Iowa and western Illinois. Each project is designed to translate spatial data into clear, usable insight — without the cost or complexity of full engineering studies.
Services support landowners, conservation groups, planners, and project teams that need clear spatial insight for site feasibility, environmental risk, habitat planning, or solar and land-use decisions. Typical projects include terrain and floodplain screening, runoff and erosion modeling, habitat suitability analysis, prairie restoration planning, and energy generation site feasibility studies. Each analysis translates regional datasets into practical, parcel-scale guidance.
Terrain & Environmental Constraints Screening
Evaluate elevation patterns, floodplain context, slope constraints, and land-cover conditions to understand site limitations and planning risk.
- Land cover, slope, soils, and proximity analysis
- Conservation / habitat context
- Decision-ready map outputs
Hydrology & Drainage Risk Assessment
Model how surface water moves across terrain to identify runoff concentration, erosion-prone areas, and drainage pathways.
- Flow direction / accumulation modeling
- Topographic wetness and runoff pathways
- Risk communication maps for planning
Suitability Modeling & Site Feasibility
Combine multiple environmental factors into clear suitability maps that support restoration planning, solar siting, or land-use decisions.
- Weighted overlay / classification approach
- Transparent assumptions + thresholds
- Results summarized in plain language
Regional Screening & Opportunity Mapping
Larger-area GIS screening used to highlight development opportunity zones, environmental constraints, or strategic planning priorities.
- Buffers, distances, density, and service areas
- Data cleaning, joins, and geoprocessing
- Static maps or shareable exports
Pricing
Most parcel-scale screening projects fall within the ranges below depending on terrain complexity, parcel size, data preparation needs, and reporting depth.
Larger regional or multi-parcel studies are scoped separately.
Basic Screening
$300–$400
Single parcel analysis with 1–2 key maps and a brief interpretation.
- 1–2 key maps
- Single-factor or simple overlay analysis

- PDF deliverable
Standard Analysis
$450–$600
Multi-factor GIS analysis combining terrain, land cover, hydrology, or suitability variables into clear decision-support outputs.
- 2–4 maps
- Multi-layer analysis
- 1–2 page summary
- One revision included
Advanced Analysis
$600-$800
More detailed parcel or small multi-parcel analysis involving expanded modeling, scenario evaluation, or deeper reporting.
- 3–6 maps or analytical outputs
- Higher-resolution screening and additional datasets

Custom / Regional Study
$1000+
Larger-area GIS screening, development opportunity modeling, or specialized environmental analysis tailored to project scope.
- Regional or multi-site analysis
- Environmental constraints + opportunity mapping
- Custom workflow design
- Comprehensive reporting and map package
