Frequently Asked Questions

We have answered some of the most common questions regarding land surveying. A Boundary Survey establishes or re-establishes property boundary lines and corners upon the ground. An ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey is done on commercial property for the purpose of supplying the title company and lender with survey location data necessary for issuing title or extended coverage title insurance. A Topographic Survey locates natural or man-made features such as buildings, fences, trees, streams, and elevations of the land.
