How do I hire a land surveyor?

What are the different types of land surveys?

• <div>A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:<ul><li>Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. </li><li>Location surveys provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. </li><li>Mortgage location surveys are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. </li><li>Site-planning surveys are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. </li><li>Topographic surveys provide a formal map of land elevations.

Does the seller get to see the survey if a buyer pays for it?

• <div>If a buyer pays for a survey, the surveyor they hired will only provide results to them. It’s up to the buyer whether they share the survey results with the seller or not, even if they ultimately walk away from the deal. It’s considered good faith to share the results with the seller, though, especially if you back out of the deal, as the seller can then provide that survey to future interested parties.</div>

Q: What’s the difference between a land survey and a boundary survey?

• <div>A boundary survey measures the boundary lines of the property, only the length of each property line and their locations. A land survey includes a more in-depth measurement of the property, including the heights and depths of the terrain measured by a topographic survey. A boundary survey is typically the most cost-effective method for marking and measuring property lines.</div>

Q: How do you tell if a tree is a historic landmark?

• <div>This is fairly rare, but sometimes the local government or a group like a historical society will label a tree as a landmark, or historical item. These designations almost always come with a small, on-site plaque for identification, but you should also be able to look up protected trees in your area on a city website or similar list. If the tree in question is a landmark, call your local government and ask how to proceed before making any plans.</div>

Mr. Yates did an excellent job removing two trees from my property. The trees were dead and at risk of falling on my home and power lines. His work was quick and efficient and was willing to work with me on scheduling issues. Would recommend Mr. Yates for any of your land service needs!

I had an very large oak stump that I needed to grind. I contacted Albertson land. They came out the same day to give an estimate. They offered a fair price that I accepted. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the work they did. They feel that the job isn’t done until I’m satisfied. If you’re...

Very happy with the way my home turned out, but the process of getting all the finish work (easiest part of the job) was a hassel. First of all no one informed us that our land had to be level or that we had to pay one year of home insurance before the home was delivered. We found this out the...
