Boundary and physical surveys that answer questions and move the deal forward

A boundary survey is a surveyor’s professional opinion of where your parcel’s boundary lines are. We work from the record deeds and plats and gather evidence in the field: corner monuments, evidence of occupation, roadways, utilities and other improvements. We reconcile the record with the field evidence, conclude where your boundary line is and always has been, and deliver our findings as a certified map.

Not always. For a survey of an existing parcel, recording may be optional, though in some cases we still recommend it. For subdivisions and recombinations, recording is often required. We’ll always talk through the options with you.

Recording places the map in the permanent record at the county Register of Deeds. It’s linked to your parcel, becomes part of the legal record and is open to the public. When you convey the parcel, an attorney can reference the recorded map as its legal description.

Not always. A new boundary and physical survey is a good idea in any real estate transaction, and the closing attorney or the buyer’s lender may require one. It has every requirement of a boundary survey, with the house and improvements located.

Yes. Every corner without one gets a rod, and we can mark them so they’re easy to see. Where a corner falls in a creek or a road, we set reference points so it can still be found.

Every property is different, so every quote is too. Cost is driven by the acreage, the number of corners, the research and the conditions on the ground. Send the address or parcel number, and if we’re a fit, we’ll quote it within one business day.

Almost always, we can offer a free quote. Rarely, a boundary question takes so much research before we can even scope the survey that we can’t quote it for free. In those cases, we offer a consultation for a fee: we research the property, talk through what we found and the challenges, and quote the survey when we can. We’ll always tell you before there’s a fee.
