Professional surveying solutions for all your needs

Boundary Surveys

My comprehensive boundary surveys include thorough research of historical records, careful verification of boundaries, and precise measurements using professional-grade equipment. Each survey comes with a detailed map that clearly defines your property lines.

Property Line Staking

As an add-on to boundary surveys, I'll place wooden stakes along your property lines to provide a clear visual reference of your boundaries. This is especially helpful for fence installation, construction projects, or resolving neighbor disputes.

Site Plans

For construction projects, additions, or permit applications, I create detailed site plans that meet local government requirements. Requirements vary by location, so I recommend checking with local zoning offices beforehand.

Soil Grid Map

For septic systems, I work with soil scientists by locating their designated testing area on your property. I then create a grid (either 50' or 100', based on requirements), stake it on-site, and provide a detailed map for their use in soil analysis.

Topographic Surveys

My topographic surveys map the elevations and features of your land, essential for planning construction projects, drainage solutions, or landscape design. I provide accurate elevation data for informed development decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about land surveying

How long does a boundary survey typically take?

The timeline for a boundary survey varies depending on several factors, including property size, location, accessibility, and the complexity of the legal description. Generally, you can expect the field work to take 1-2 days, with an additional 1-2 weeks for research, calculations, and drafting the final survey map. We'll provide you with a more specific timeline when we give you a quote.

What's the difference between a boundary survey and property line staking?

A boundary survey is a comprehensive process that includes research of property records, field measurements, and the creation of a detailed map showing the legal boundaries of your property. Property line staking is an additional service where we place wooden stakes along your property lines to provide a visual reference of the boundaries. Line staking is typically added to a boundary survey, not performed as a standalone service.

Do I need to be present during the survey?

You don't need to be present during the entire survey process, but it can be helpful to meet with me at some point during the field work. This gives you an opportunity to ask questions and point out any specific concerns you might have. We'll coordinate with you in advance to arrange a convenient time.

How much does a land survey cost?

Survey costs vary widely depending on property size, location, terrain, vegetation, the complexity of the deed research, and the type of survey needed. Rather than providing a general estimate that might be inaccurate for your specific situation, we offer free quotes tailored to your property and needs. Contact me with your property details, and we'll provide a detailed quote for your project.

What information do you need to give me a quote?

To provide an accurate quote, we typically need the property address, county, approximate lot size (if known), the type of survey you need, and a brief description of why you need the survey (e.g., fence installation, property purchase, boundary dispute). The contact form includes all the necessary fields to gather this information.
