We are excited to share what we have been working on!
Apologies for any inconveniences while navigating
We help land stewards restore ecosystems, improve water cycles, and create productive, regenerative landscapes.
Our Core Services
We combine ecological design, GIS analysis, and field-based implementation to help land stewards understand, restore, and work with natural systems.
Most Requested
GIS, Land Analysis and Site Design
Reveal how your land actually functions.
Identify water flow, terrain constraints, and site-scale patterns to guide smarter design decisions.
Soil Regeneration and Microscopy
Understand the biology driving your soil.
Diagnose soil function and restore microbial systems to improve resilience, fertility, and plant health.
Water Cycle Regeneration and Earthworks
Rehydrate landscapes and manage water effectively.
Design systems that slow, spread, and sink water to restore hydrology and reduce erosion.
Ecological Design and Agroecology Services
Design productive systems that work with nature.
Create resilient landscapes that integrate food production, biodiversity, and long-term ecosystem health.
begin the Design Process
We begin by analyzing your land to understand how water, soil, and terrain function. From these patterns, we develop a site-specific design, then support implementation with clear, field-ready guidance to ensure the plan translates effectively on the ground.
Analysis → Design → Implementation
Project Site Analysis
Understand how your land actually functions before making decisions.
• Land and resource analysis
• Hydrology and water movement
• Soil biology assessment
• High-resolution mapping
• Field-ready mobile navigation
Concept & Design
Translate patterns into clear, site-specific strategies.
• Design workflows and planning
• Site layout and system placement
• Hydrological and earthworks planning
• Integrated ecological design
• Full planting and production systems
Implementation Guidance
Bring the design into the field with clarity and confidence.
• Step-by-step implementation support
• In-field planting and navigation guides
• Cultivar and species selection
• Earthworks install guidance
• Ongoing soil regeneration support
This process ensures decisions are grounded in real conditions, aligned with ecological systems, and carried through to successful implementation.
Get started with a site analysis, soil diagnosis, or project consultation.
Integrated Ecological Design Services
Our services work together as part of a unified regenerative framework — from soil biology to watershed-scale planning.
Ecological Design Framework
We approach land regeneration as a layered system, building from foundational conditions to fully functioning ecosystems.
United Designers International
Biodesic Strategies is a member of United Designers International, a global multi-disciplinary network of regenerative designers that consult on projects involving ecosystem restoration, farm & homestead design, agroforestry systems, and largescale site assessment & planning.

Soil Food Web & Soil Microscopy
Understand what’s limiting your soil—and how to restore it.
We use microscopy to assess biological abundance, fungal:bacterial ratios, and compost quality to guide practical strategies that improve fertility, resilience, and plant performance.
What We Measure
Biological activity and diversity in soil and compost
Balance between fungal and bacterial communities
Quality and functionality of biological amendments
What We Help You Do
Identify what’s limiting soil performance
Restore nutrient cycling and plant health
Build effective compost and amendment strategies
Apply biological inputs with confidence
Most soils already contain the nutrients plants need—the missing piece is biology.
See What the Land Is Actually Doing
Most land decisions are made without fully understanding how water, terrain, and microclimate interact.
We use high-resolution GIS analysis to reveal the underlying patterns of your landscape—so design decisions are based on reality, not assumptions.
What These Maps Show
How water actually moves across your land
Where erosion, accumulation, and infiltration occur
Solar exposure, wind patterns, and cold air pooling
Terrain constraints and opportunities for design
Core Mapping Outputs
Elevation + contour maps
Slope and aspect analysis
Hydrology and drainage networks
Microclimate and solar radiation mapping
Relative elevation (REM) and cold air flow
These maps are not just reports—they’re designed to be used in the field, guiding real-time decisions through mobile mapping tools.
Work With Water—Not Against It
Water is the primary force shaping your land. If it’s unmanaged, it causes erosion, flooding, and lost potential.
A series of rain gardens and mounds installed for a business’s landscape
We design earthworks and water systems that slow, spread, and infiltrate water—turning runoff into a resource that builds soil, supports vegetation, and restores resilience.
What These Systems Do
Capture and store water on the landscape
Reduce erosion and stabilize vulnerable areas
Increase infiltration and soil moisture
Support long-term plant health and productivity
Core Systems & Applications
Water retention landscapes
Pond and reservoir design
Rain gardens and terrace systems
Erosion control and stabilization
Landscape rehydration strategies
Design Living Systems That Evolve Over Time
A successful landscape is more than a layout—it’s a living system.
Example: Food forest system in early establishment phase
We design integrated systems that align water, soil, plants, and human use—creating landscapes that become more productive, resilient, and self-sustaining over time.
What This Approach Creates
Landscapes that build soil and retain water
Productive systems that evolve year after year
Integrated plant communities that support biodiversity
Spaces that balance function, beauty, and use
Design Applications
Food forests and perennial production systems
Native habitat restoration
Phased implementation strategies
Species selection and plant guild design
Soil-building and cover cropping systems
These designs are rooted in real site conditions—ensuring they can be implemented, maintained, and adapted over time.
Project Highlight- Oklahoma Food Forest
Explore a food forest in Northeastern Oklahoma. The project uses earthworks in the form of swales and rain gardens, and drip irrigation for the hydrological backbone. Soil restoration is taking place as we use cover crops, nitrogen fixers, compost and liquid biological amendments to reverse 80 years of conventional land management. Biome specific cultivars and nurse plants were used to improve resilience of the system. We also installed several large hugelkultur mounds which add texture, edge, and microclimates to the site. A central courtyard with wild flowers, bee hives and a bee bubbler help support the pollinators that support our crops.
Education, Workshops & Outreach
We offer presentations and hands-on workshops focused on practical regenerative land management. Sessions are tailored for farmers, landowners, community groups, conservation organizations, and municipalities seeking systems-based solutions.
