Utilizing our expertise and surveying tools to accurately establish the property boundaries and mark the corners, we are able to provide a detailed survey report that can be used for legal and practical purposes.

Reasons to get a boundary survey

Property Purchase

Knowing the exact boundaries of the property is a critical step for a real estate purchase. It is important to ensure that the land being purchased is as described.

Fence Installation

It is crucial to construct a fence within the property boundaries to avoid encroaching onto neighboring properties. A boundary survey ensures compliance with local regulations.

Property Improvement or Landscaping

Homeowners planning to make improvements to their property, such as adding structures, driveways, or landscaping features, benefit from a boundary survey. The survey allows homeowners to complete projects without encroaching onto adjacent properties.

Title Insurance

Title insurance companies often require a boundary survey to issue a policy, allowing for appropriate coverage and protection.

Construction or Development

A boundary survey ensures that the proposed project remains within the property limits, adheres to zoning regulations, and avoids encroachments onto neighboring properties.

What is a Boundary Survey?

A boundary survey identifies the legal boundaries of a piece of property. A surveyor uses measuring tools and surveying techniques to accurately define the lines of a property.

This survey is commonly used when purchasing, selling, or developing a property. The boundary survey prevents conflicts and misunderstandings between neighboring landowners.

The surveyor will physically inspect the land to locate existing boundary markers. If the markers are missing, the surveyor will place new markers. The surveyor will also research deeds and other public records related to the property.

The customer will receive a detailed map, also known as a plat, depicting the property lines, boundary markers, and any relevant measurements and legal descriptions.
