"Muir Consulting is an excellent & honest survey firm I luckily found through homeadvisor! I am doing a lot merger of 2 parcels to build few rental units and needed the new legal description from a licensed surveyor. My hired civil engineer and his surveyor contacts wasted 4 months of my time with excuses and ignorance when I took matters in my own hands. Owner Jack Smith and surveyor Troy were very honest and quoted me a few hundred dollars what some scam surveyors asked for > $10k and wanted to do unnecessary work like placing monuments for a two-page document! Muir's communication and turnaround speed were exceptional! I really respect their work ethic of treating even small jobs like this with such respect and diligence. It is getting hard to find such capable and honest businesses nowadays in the construction-related industry. I thank them for a job well done and their attitude towards their clients"

"When I hired Salient I didn't know what to expect having never hired a surveyor. Price was reasonable, the process was a 2 step process I believe due to the complexity of my lot. 1st day was collecting data about a week later the install of the boundary line. Surveyor was knowledgable, friendly and professional. Provided what I needed."

Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

A land survey defines and records the physical aspects of a property, including its boundaries, dimensions, easements, features, and sometimes topographical information. In contrast, a land appraisal determines the property's monetary value. While an appraiser will often consult a land survey to understand the property's physical specifications, the survey itself does not determine the land's value.

Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property’s boundaries is needed. While you’re not required to file survey documents, it’s a good idea to do so. 

To prepare for a land survey, you must thoroughly check your land surveyor’s qualifications, reviews, and fees to align with your expectations. When it is time for the survey to be conducted, ensure that you have all your documents organized and available, know and mark your property lines, and inform your neighbors that the survey is happening.

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.
