Land surveying is the science, art, and profession of determining the positions of points on the surface of the earth and measuring the distances, directions, angles, and elevations between them. This data helps accurately create maps and determine plot boundaries. A boundary survey map is a drawing that depicts the mathematical and physical features of a parcel of land about deeds of record, map lines, and/or other pertinent reference data based upon an actual field survey.
Land surveyors will research the property before they even look at the land and collect data to make maps of the land surface. Surveying technicians visit sites to take measurements of the land and mapping technicians use geographic data to create maps. With the strong approach of the team, powerful technical capabilities, and effective communication skills, we work closely with clients, vendors, permitting agencies, and various other entities to achieve project requirements and objectives.

A residential or commercial property owner will often hire these surveys before making modifications to the property, such as additions, landscaping, or parking lots.

A boundary survey is performed to determine the boundaries of a property. The surveyor will establish (or recover) the property corners and prepare a thorough plan or map in this form of survey.
Advantages of Land Surveying:
Even if you have no plans to build on the property, you should get the land surveyed so you know exactly where your borders are; you'll know what's yours and what's not. A Boundary Survey will outline the exact borders of your property, whether natural or artificial, in a written document.
