Land Surveyors are professionals who measure and make precise measurements to determine the size and boundaries of a piece of real estate. While this is a simplistic definition, boundary surveying is one of the most common types of surveying related to home and land owners.
Our Land Surveying staff uses cutting edge equipment & software to complete all your projects. In the field we use fully automated surveying equipment such as robotic total stations and data collectors for quick and easy transfer of data to PC's. We have Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment which allows us to offer other surveying services including high precision surveying, large topo surveys, large boundary surveys, and any other type of land surveying job. In the office we complete 100% of all surveying projects in AutoCAD.
Boundary surveying determines the location of property lines and the monuments that mark the property corners of a parcel of land as described in a deed. The land surveyor undertaking a boundary survey should examine the deed for the property as well as possibly your neighbor's deed. These deeds are normally located in the Probate office in the county courthouse. The land surveyor may also talk with neighbors and/or the owners to get information they have as to the location of the boundary line.
Much like any other type of survey, a topographic survey, or topo survey for short, is done to locate natural and man-made features on a particular parcel of land. This is sometimes called planimetric features or things you can see from a plan view as if you were hovering over the site. The topo survey usually also includes any man-made underground features, like utility lines. The survey will also show above ground improvements like buildings, utility poles, retaining walls, etc. The elevation or differences in elevation on the surface is usually shown as contours.

Residential Lot or Mortgage Survey - A residential lot or mortgage survey is done to determine the location of your property lines and improvements (buildings, driveways, fences, etc.) Normally a survey drawing is included that may be used for a mortgage closing or for your records. A "lot" in this case is assumed to be part of a larger subdivision where multiple lots have been developed at one time and a plat has been recorded in the local courthouse.
