What Is Private Property Surveying?
Private property surveying is the process of measuring and mapping land to define boundaries, identify features, and support legal or construction needs. Whether you are installing a fence, building a home, or preparing to sell, a survey ensures you know exactly where your property begins and ends.
A professional survey protects your investment and helps avoid disputes, delays, and costly mistakes.

Why Accuracy Matters in Residential Surveys
Even small errors in a property survey can lead to big problems. Building too close to a neighbor’s land or placing a fence outside your boundary can result in legal disputes, fines, or forced removal.
That is why we use advanced equipment and proven methods to ensure every measurement is correct. Our surveys are accepted by lenders, title companies, and local authorities across the region.
Foundation Location and Lot Division
Planning to build? We provide complete surveys down to the foundation location, ensuring your structure is placed exactly where it should be. This is essential for:
- New home construction
- Additions or garages
- Decks and patios
We also assist with lot division and parcel splits, helping property owners divide land for sale, development, or inheritance. Our team handles the technical details so you can move forward with confidence.
