Services
Boundary Surveys
We conduct precise boundary retracement surveys for rural farms, urban lots, and suburban properties. Our process combines historical records analysis with modern field measurements to resolve encroachments and establish legal property lines. Clients receive detailed documentation to support real estate transactions, development projects, or dispute resolution.
ALTA Surveys
Our ALTA/NSPS surveys meet national standards for commercial property transactions. We identify easements, encroachments, and boundary markers through comprehensive title research and field verification. These surveys are essential for title insurance purposes and development planning across various property sizes.
Topographic Mapping
We create detailed topographic maps showing natural and man-made features using advanced surveying equipment. Our elevation data supports site planning, drainage analysis, and construction design for both urban and rural properties across multiple states.
Subdivision Creation
We design and document property subdivisions ranging from single lots to large-scale developments. Our services include boundary calculations, plat preparation, and coordination with local jurisdictions to ensure compliance with zoning and land use regulations.
Construction Staking
We provide accurate staking for infrastructure projects including roads, buildings, and utilities. Our work guides construction teams by marking precise locations for foundations, grading, and improvements based on approved plans and specifications.

What information should I provide before a survey?
Clients should share property ownership details, survey purpose, title documents, and any existing plans to help us tailor our approach to your specific needs.
How do you handle boundary disputes?
We conduct thorough historical research, locate physical evidence, and analyze legal descriptions to provide professional boundary determinations that follow state-specific land surveying standards.
