Land Surveyor Services
Our services pertain to residential and commercial construction, institutions, environmental engineering firms, utility/pipelines companies, institutions, federal and state agencies, and other projects that need the services of a Georgia Professional Land Surveyor.
Our land surveying capabilities include:
Boundary Surveys
A land surveyor is able to conduct boundary surveys that locate property lines and pinpoint true property corners of land parcels listed in property deeds. They also identify the size of easements or encroachments, and in some instances the restrictions placed by state or local regulations on properties.
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
These land title surveys include detailed property information such as land ownership information, real property, easements, encroachments, property lines, liens, and boundaries.
Topographic Surveys
These surveys are also referred to as contour surveys. They establish elevations and locate grading characteristics on a parcel of land. They are often required in civil engineering designs, real estate deals, and construction projects.
Property Line Staking
A land surveyor provides a line staking service for properties, including for outbuildings, fences, and building enhancements. Land owners can use this service to protect the value of their properties.
Construction Staking
These layout surveys are used to interpret architectural and civil engineering drawings as well as calculate correct elevations and offset survey points. The process of staking includes marking the location and elevation of particular improvements with stakes as shown on approved engineering and/or architectural drawings.
FEMA-Flood Elevation Certificates
This certificate document categorizes properties that exist within FEMA flood map zones. It is also used to develop flood insurance policy rates and premiums.
As-Built Surveys
As an experienced land surveyor company, we perform these surveys to plan construction enhancements. These surveys are often required by local or state zoning boards during the length of a construction project.

Have an inquiry?
He, she, they are always lying and are not here right now, are they? Unless he, she, they are Land Surveyors, they have no business telling anyone where the boundary lines are. Real Estate Agents and sellers of real property are only trying to make a sale. Only a Professional Land Surveyor licensed in the State of Georgia can tell you where a property line is. Given the opportunity, any person will lie to protect or improve his interest.
Possibly. Old, ancient (established) fence can be a good indicator of boundary lines but should not be assumed to the be line. Neither you or I were there when the fence was installed so the only way to tell where the actual line is, is to survey and measure the line and compare the measurement between corner monuments to the existing records (deeds and plats). I have seen old barbed wire fence as much as 50 feet off of the line.
I/we are performing a professional service on your most valuable possession – your house and land. And unlike other investments to your property such as new vinyl siding, new floors, a deck built on the back of your house, a survey delineating boundary lines is a one and done cost if you preserve the survey markings and monuments.
Most people only see the survey crew come out and put stakes in the ground and are unaware of the preparation of the field work. The first part and most important part of a survey is the records research. Research is done not only on your property but also the surrounding properties to look for overlaps or gaps in ownership. The records (deeds and plats) are carefully evaluated and compiled and then field measurements and compared to the records. My goal is not to be cheap. My goal is to give you the best Survey possible at a competitive price.
In addition to the field work, we have equipment to pay for, insurance on equipment, insurance of vehicles, and cost of materials to pay for.
The expensive equipment you see is only taking the measurements. The ability to think and rationalize through a problem and discrepancy is what sets Professional Land Surveyors apart.
