Any idea how much it would cost to have someone with this equipment scan my property? It is about 10 acres near St. Louis, Missouri. The ideal deliverable would be an elevation survey. I have reached a few local surveyors and not yet found any who will do an elevation survey in any manner... transit or drone.

I'm nowhere near you so can't help.
But if you just want a contour plot, you might not need Lidar.
Lidar is useful if there's a lot of tree cover, but if it's open country, all that's needed isphotogrammetry.
That uses lots of photos with big overlaps, flown in a precise grid.
The flying for 10 acres would only take about 10 mins and the processing might take two hours to produce something like this small part of a 0.25 metre contour plot from a 60 acre site.
