Services
Boundary Surveys
Boundary surveys establish property lines using legal descriptions and historical records. This service helps resolve disputes, plan improvements, or prepare for property transactions. Our technicians deliver accurate results using modern technology and extensive local knowledge.
Land Partitions
Land partitions create up to three new parcels from existing property. We handle monument placement, plat mapping, and compliance with local development codes. Our familiarity with regional regulations ensures smooth processing and official recording.
Easements
Easement services establish legal rights to use another's land for specific purposes. We prepare documentation and exhibits for utility access, driveway rights, or other limited-use agreements. Our work ensures clarity and compliance with property law.
Property Line Adjustments
PLAs modify existing property lines between adjacent parcels without creating new ones. We navigate local land development codes to facilitate boundary changes while maintaining legal compliance and neighbor relations.
Legal Descriptions
Legal descriptions define property boundaries in official documents. We create precise lot-and-block or metes-and-bounds descriptions required for transactions, ensuring accuracy and adherence to surveying standards.

Questions
When do I need a land survey?
You need a survey when buying/selling property, resolving boundary disputes, planning improvements, or dividing land. It prevents future conflicts and ensures legal compliance.
How are survey costs determined?
Cost depends on property type, size, location, record completeness, and vegetation. Final pricing reflects research, fieldwork, and office computation hours required.
Should I choose a surveyor based on price?
Price shouldn't be the sole factor. Prioritize qualifications, licensing, and experience. Competent service ensures quality results that protect your investment long-term.
What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve Southern Oregon, including Klamath Falls and surrounding counties. Our local expertise covers regional land development codes and terrain challenges.
Can a survey determine property ownership?
Surveys show boundary opinions based on records and evidence. Only courts can definitively determine ownership, but our professional assessment provides legally recognized documentation.
