Land Development Survey Services Include
Boundary Surveys -
To locate the property corners and boundary lines or a given parcel of land. This involves record and field research, measurements and computations to set boundary lines in accordance with state law. Easement lines and encroachments may also be located in this type of survey.
Corner Recover/Verification -

The position and character of the existing monuments (iron rebar with plastic cap stamped with the license number of the surveyor who set the mark) must be confirmed with the corresponding Map of Survey, or Subdivision Plat.

Topographic Surveys -
To locate topographic features of the land-natural and man made; for example; buildings, improvements, fences, elevations, trees, streams, and contours (e.g., lines of equal elevation). This type of survey may be required by a governmental agency or may be used by engineers and/or architects for design of site improvements or developments. It is also an excellent management for large tracts of forestland. Such a survey is not necessarily limited by property boundaries.
