How do I hire a land surveyor?

• <div><p>To hire a land surveyor, you need to start by searching online for reputable professionals in your area. Here are a few steps to take when making a shortlist:</p><ul><li><p>Browse land surveyor service website</p></li><li><p>Check credentials</p></li><li><p>Read customer reviews</p></li><li><p>Find their contact information</p></li><li><p>Call or email to inquire about more information</p></li><li><p>Ask how far they travel, if you’re some distance away</p></li><li><p>Find out how they charge for their services</p></li><li><p>Ask about schedule and turnaround times</p></li><li><p>Repeat these steps for one to two other services and compare pricing</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do I know how deep my well is?

• <div><p>There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. </p><p>Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you&rsquo;ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well&rsquo;s depth.</p></div>

Q: How do you build a road on a slope?

• <div><p>Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn&rsquo;t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.</p></div>

Q: Is reading blueprints hard?

• <div><p>With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don&rsquo;t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you&rsquo;re building a house.</p></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...
