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: What if I can’t find any records of when my house was built?

• <div><p>If you can&rsquo;t find any records online, you&rsquo;ll need to contact your county clerk&rsquo;s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to clear land?

• <div><p>Permit requirements to clear land vary by municipality, so whether or not you need permits depends on where you live and what you&rsquo;re removing from the land. Some building departments will require permits for any underground work or excavation, meaning grinding down tree stumps on your property would require permits. Others mandate individual permits for each tree you remove. You can contact your local building department or a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/land-clearing-services/">land-clearing specialist near you</a> to see if permits are necessary for your job.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional land surveyor?

• <div><p>A professional land surveyor ensures accurate property boundaries and prevent legal disputes.</p></div>

Q: How hard is it to buy a house for the first time?

• <div><p>Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.</p><p> </p></div>

At the estimate, Tony arrived on time, surveyed the property, made good recommendations for the number and location of cameras and gave us an estimate. We already had an excellent recommendation for his services and had one other estimate, which was twice the cost, so we went with Tony. Tony...

The survey was done weeks behind schedule. I had to keep calling to see when they do the survey. I never saw the stakes in the ground.

"I hired Standard Land Surveying Co. to determine our property line because my new neighbors were installing a fence between our houses and I wanted to be sure they were installing it on their property. I contacted them and spoke to Carlos who explained what they will do to determine our property line and after they were finished they explained the findings and showed me the markers that shows my property line. I was very happy with Standard Land Surveying Co. and I am glad I chose them for this project."
