Why do I need a land surveyor?
Great question! If a previous owner or a neighbor built a fence, shed, driveway, or worse in the wrong location, you’ll want to know about it before you close on your home. No one wants to tear down a fence (or something more expensive!) just to move it over two feet.
Did you know that many properties have easements that allow utility companies the right to dig up areas of your yard? Or that the city or county usually owns the land near your street – in some cases 20 feet or more of the roadside lawn?
Previous property owners may not have respected those easements when they made improvements to your home, leaving you with potential headaches.
Let us help you protect your investment. Call/text us today before you buy or build!
Thinking of installing a fence or planting trees?
Some fence or landscaping companies will build a fence or plant trees wherever you tell them. You are responsible for making sure you are on your own property!
Before you have a fence built, or plant trees or bushes along your property line, call us to come survey your property!
Don’t rely on what appears to be the obvious property line. We hear “Looks like I’ve been mowing my neighbor’s lawn” every single week in our job.
Have some land you want subdivided?
Landowners often want to take a larger parcel of land and break off smaller pieces – either for family members or to sell for profit.
This process requires taking many extremely precise measurements, measuring points with centimeter accuracy over many hundreds of feet. Once completed, we will create the documents you need to show the new subdivision, and then advise you on recording these changes legally, so that everything is official!
For the fastest response, you can text us!
Please text us your name and the reason for the survey, and we will get back to you with an estimate.
