Boundary Surveys
A Boundary Survey is the vital first step for any property transaction, structural addition, or land development project. Our professional service legally establishes the exact perimeter of your land, giving you total clarity over what you own. By combining deep historical deed research with advanced field measurement technology, we re-establish missing property corners, identify structural overlaps, and provide a legally binding professional opinion on your property’s true layout.
Key Benefits
Resolve and Prevent Disputes: Proactively settle disagreements with neighbors regarding fence lines, driveways, or landscaping boundaries.
Secure Building Permits: Satisfy local municipal requirements and zoning laws before installing fences, pools, additions, or retaining walls.
Identify Encroachments: Uncover existing structural overlaps, such as a neighbor’s shed, gutter, or driveway crossing over your property line.
Facilitate Safe Transactions: Protect your real estate investments during buys, sells, or land subdivisions by verifying title accuracy.
Map Out Easements: Clear up exactly where utility companies or public entities hold a legal right-of-way across your land.
Our Step-by-Step Process
Public Record & Deed Research: We conduct an exhaustive "chain of title" review at the local county registry of deeds. We analyze original plat maps, historical deeds, and abutting property records to understand the legal intent of the land's original layout.
On-Site Field Reconnaissance: Our expert field crews search your land for existing physical monuments, such as old iron pins, concrete posts, stone markers, or ancient fence corners.
Precision Measurement & Data Analysis: Utilizing advanced GPS and robotic total stations, we take highly accurate measurements across the land. We resolve any mathematical differences between the historical deed text and the physical evidence on the ground.
Monumentation & Staking: We set or reset permanent markers (typically iron rebar with identifiable surveyor caps) at all true property corners, and place temporary wooden stakes along the boundary lines for easy visibility.
Final Survey Plat Delivery: You receive a certified, official survey map (plat drawing) detailing your property lines, structural dimensions, improvements, easements, and any discovered encroachments.
