Land Surveying Services
Land surveying is both a science and an art. It blends together the principles of mathematics, law, physics, geology, and engineering. When putting together a land survey, we consider every relevant detail. We pride ourselves on providing the highest possible quality of work for our clients.
Topographical surveys provide a great deal of detail about a plot of land. They demonstrate changes in elevation, features of the terrain, and manmade improvements, such as fences and bridges.
This type of land survey emphasizes the boundaries of a plot of land. Instead of measuring elevation and terrain, a boundary survey will focus on distance. Boundary surveys can be used prior to property transactions, and to construct new additions.
Before selling or purchasing a plot of land, an ALTA survey may be necessary. An ALTA survey is a type of boundary survey that adheres to the standards developed and agreed upon by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM). Often, these surveys are called ALTA/ACSM surveys. Compared to boundary surveys, ALTA surveys are more intensive, and they provide far more detailed and comprehensive information.
Aerial surveys are often used when a particular plot of land has inherent challenges that make it impractical to survey from the ground. We do not take aerial photographs; however, we do evaluate aerial photographs of plots of land for the purpose of completing topographical surveys.
