Land Survey

What is Land Surveying?

Land surveying is a critical process that involves measuring and mapping a plot of land to establish boundaries, topography, and other physical features. Surveying ensures clarity and accuracy when dealing with land ownership, construction, and legal matters. Whether you're buying, selling, or developing property, a professional land survey can help avoid disputes, legal issues, and costly mistakes.

Types of Land Surveys

img

Boundary Survey

A boundary survey determines the legal property lines of a parcel of land. This survey is crucial for ensuring that you are aware of the exact boundaries of your property to prevent disputes, especially when buying, selling, or developing land.

img

Topographic Survey:

A topographic survey maps the natural and man-made features of the land, including elevation, vegetation, bodies of water, and infrastructure. This survey is commonly used for construction planning, development, and landscaping projects.

Construction Survey

Construction surveys focus on ensuring that buildings and infrastructure are placed in the correct locations according to architectural plans. This includes marking building corners, roads, and utilities.

img

Subdivision Survey

When large parcels of land are divided into smaller lots for sale or development, a subdivision survey is performed. It clearly outlines the new parcels, roadways, and easements.

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey

An ALTA survey is a more detailed land survey used for commercial real estate transactions. It identifies property boundaries, easements, and encroachments, ensuring there are no legal issues affecting the property’s title.

Key Components of a Land Survey

img

Legal Description

Defines the precise boundaries of a property, marking the legal extent of land ownership with physical markers like fences, walls, or natural landmarks, and established through official surveys for legal and management clarity.

img

Plats & Maps

Visual representation of the surveyed area, detailing property lines, boundaries, geographic features, and adjacent properties to aid in land development, sales, and legal documentation.

img

Legal DesElevation & Contoursiption

Depicts changes in land height, aiding in construction, drainage design, landscaping, and land use planning to ensure proper development and environmental management.

img

Easements & Right-of-Way

Indicates legal permissions for specific land uses, such as utility access, roads, or pathways, highlighting restrictions, access rights, and ensuring compliance with property laws and community regulations.

Tools & Technology Used

Total Station

Measures angles and distances for precise land surveys, construction layouts, and topographic mapping.

GPS

Provides accurate location data for mapping, georeferencing, and large-scale surveying.

Theodolite

Measures horizontal and vertical angles for accurate triangulation, construction alignment, and geodetic surveys.

Drones & LiDAR

Capture high-resolution aerial maps and topographic data for large-scale surveys, environmental studies, and infrastructure projects.

Why is Land Surveying Important?

  • Prevents boundary disputes.
  • Ensures compliance with zoning laws
  • Helps in property valuation.
