While all projects are unique, it is our understanding of local, state, and federal regulations and guidelines which allow us to produce results tailored for our clients needs. Since the company was founded in 1955, it has grown not only in personnel but also in the services it offers. The growth that the company has experienced over the years has always been controlled so as not to lose the reputation that Arthur Howland worked so hard to develop. The tradition and goal of providing our clients with cost effective, high quality, and accurate civil engineering and land surveying services is still alive more than ever under the leadership of the company’s new president Paul Szymanski who worked under Arthur Howland for a number of years before taking over the reigns in 2005. It is Paul Szymanski’s positive “Can Do” attitude that has instilled the civil engineering and land surveying staff of Arthur H. Howland & Associates to always go above and beyond for the client to earn the company praise and notoriety among clients, town staff, regulating agencies, and other land use professionals. We encourage you to give us an opportunity to work on your next land use project and look forward to working with you to meet all of your civil engineering and land surveying needs!

"Telephone wasn't answered, during their posted business hours. No voice mail. Emails not returned, either. Town has no survey on file, after almost 300 years. Town required one to determine property lines before I can build or install a shed! President is on the Town Council. Definitely not happy. Still need a survey!"

Serving Northern Fairfield and Lichtfield Counties since 1989 for your Land Surveying Needs

"Disappointing result. Survey showed what I feared. Surrounding developers had bought what was originally on this property, then took more than what my deed shows. Last surveyor to the party loses! Likely a legal issue now, since my driveway, parking area and much of my back yard doesn't even belong to me, according to this and previously filed surveys by surrounding developers. My only issue with my surveyor was less communication than promised or delivered. Pleasantly surprised to learn he did file the survey with the town as promised. Would use him again."

Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:

  • Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet

  • Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features

  • Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)

  • Distance traveled for the professional surveyor

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’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.

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.

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. 

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’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.
