Continuing a Legacy of Excellence

Zenith Land Surveying is deeply honored to carry on the distinguished legacy of William J. Stengel, PLS 4846. Bill, a pioneer in the field of land surveying, began his career in Boulder County in 1951. He served as the Boulder County Surveyor for 14 years, from 1988 to 2002, leaving an indelible mark on the area's surveying practices. Upon Bill's retirement in 2008, he entrusted his extensive archives to Zenith Land Surveying, permitting us to continue his tradition of meticulous and reliable service.

We are proud to offer our expertise to anyone seeking information about a survey completed by Bill Stengel. Furthermore, if your property holds the history of a survey initiated by Bill and requires continuation, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are committed to upholding his legacy by providing the same level of dedication and precision that has characterized his work for generations.
