Curious to know more about this.
I am a bit of an expert on Sketchup but haven’t applied to landscaping per se. Have done some similar work – a couple of land profiles to see how house designs might look in specific locations on site.
Happy to meet your friends to understand their needs further.

I guess there are a couple of points here.
Doing a bit of digging shows that Sketchup has import support for several standard terrain data formats.
Secondly, Sketchup is owned by Trimble these days who are a major name in surveying and mapping technology – so they have a vested interest in this application.
Thirdly, I haven’t scratched the surface of plugins/extensions that may be available to make this easy.
What I have done is manually constructed reasonably accurate site maps using location and elevation data. It just isn’t what I use Sketchup for on a day-to-day basis so I haven’t dived into this use case in any detail.
These may be of interest:

A dedicated/specialist package will likely do a better job at specific tasks.
