"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

Detailed mapping of elevation changes and natural features on the property.

Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.

Yes, new home construction will always require building permits, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.

Land surveys are worth it in several scenarios including selling your home, building an addition, constructing a fence, or making major changes to your landscape. A professional land survey can help you avoid legal issues with your neighbors and confirm the value of your property. In many cases, you may be required to order a land survey to receive a construction permit or mortgage loan.

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.
