We provide a broad range of services including boundary surveys, Minaor Land Divisions, ALTA surveys, topographic surveys, construction staking, FEMA Elevation Certificates, and mining claim staking.

A note about the nature of property boundaries
Property boundaries are legal entities, not objective ones. In the case of a disputed boundary line, the final
location of that line is determined by the court of competent jurisdiction. When you hire a land surveyor to
conduct a boundary survey, you are hiring him for his ability to provide an opinion as to this legal location of the
property lines. This opinion is arrived at through collection of field evidence, mainly survey evidence left by prior
surveys, and records research, such as maps and deeds, and analyzing the relationship between field and
record evidence of boundaries.
In conducting a boundary survey, Registered Land Surveyors have a duty not only to their clients but to all
adjoining land owners who may be affected by the survey of the instant tract, as well as successors in interest of
all parties. Most boundary surveys require more than one site visit and many hours of research, analysis and
drafting. A key requirement of the analysis of this boundary evidence is knowledge of local surveying history and
practice.
When the survey is complete, we document our findings and work in a Results of Survey map that is filed with
the office of the Recorder of the county where the property is located.
