Recent Land Surveyors Reviews in Potomac
- NoVA Surveys, Inc.NOVA Surveys saved the day! Found out from our contractor six calendar days before renovations were to begin that he needed a plat to obtain the necessary building permits. Unfortunately, the only one that we had was extremely dated, and clearly marked as not to be used to obtain a permit. Mad scramble to find a surveyor who could turn around a survey and plat quickly so as not to delay the renovation and subsequent listing for sale of our property. Tom responded to my email request for a quote within 5 hours of my initial email, and had a surveyor on the property the next day. Two days later, I had a pdf of a new plat in hand to share with our contractor. Really appreciate everything that Tom and his crew did to expedite everything for us and ensure that we could keep our project on schedule
- Dominion Surveyors, Inc.We had contacted several surveyors, and found Dominion to be the most reliable and reasonably priced. It did take a while for the project to be done, but the crew was extremely friendly, and even waited for us to return to the house (10-15 minutes) after they had finished to give us a walk through of the property lines. We received the plat both via email and hard copy. We appreciated the email so we could move more quickly with our fence project. We would definitely recommend them
- WL Meekins Inc Land SurveyorsThe experience went very well. The team was early, completed the task in a timely fashion, and provided clear explanations of the work that was performed. It has served me well in my conversations about property lines with my neighbors. I appreciate the value of the job and the cost associated with it. I will use them in the future should I have any other needs of this nature
- WL Meekins Inc Land SurveyorsThe survey team arrived on time, worked carefully, and completed the job within about four hours. Good job.
- Remy Landscaping LLCOscar and his crew mow our lawn regularly throughout the year and always do a great job at a great price. They are fast and efficient and even sweep or blow the leaves and clippings off our deck when they are done. At the beginning of the year they usually perform landscaping work for us too, and spend a whole day edging, weeding, preparing flower beds, planting, and putting down mulch. It's always a shock to come home to a brand new front yard! We got many quotes for landscaping from other services and Remy Landscaping is always the best value. We have recommended them to family members as well. Wish they did leaf clean-up in the fall
- WL Meekins Inc Land SurveyorsThe receptionist was extremely helpful in setting up the appointment and providing an estimate. The surveyors arrived on time, were very polite and explained everything they were going to do. After the work was finished, they explained what they did and asked if I had any questions. In all, a very professional transaction
- WL Meekins Inc Land SurveyorsThe service was outstanding. I called them on a Monday afternoon, they were at my property the next morning to do the survey, and they emailed the site plan to me by noon on Wednesday.
- WL Meekins Inc Land SurveyorsExcellent. Arrived on time and proceeded very professionally and answered questions. Most other companies did not return inquiry calls but those that did could not come out for 3-4 weeks.
- WL Meekins Inc Land SurveyorsThe surveyor showed up, prepared the drawings, and submitted them after I sent payment. I got the data that I wanted.
- WL Meekins Inc Land SurveyorsWhen I called to get an estimate and details of what they would do, and then to set up the survey, Paul and then Karen very patiently answered all of my questions. Pat and Leonard arrived on time and were very professional. Pat explained the process and kept me informed as he finished each step, including getting access to neighbors' yards to locate markers. When he was done, Pat walked me around the lot to explain what he did to uncover or set each marker

"Brian and his team are fantastic! I could not believe my eyes when I looked out at my yard after sunrise this morning. He transformed our overgrown and unruly lawn into a park! My wife and I are looking forward to sitting out on our deck and simply enjoying the incredible makeover of our yard. Brian put in a high quality dark mulch to fill sculpted garden spaces, added plants and flowers that are beautiful and deer-resistant, formed borders around trees, shaped our shrubbery, removed overgrowth and deadwood from trees, removed vines from tree limbs that were threatening their health and beauty, removed unwanted ivy from our property, and more. He spent time before and during the project to make sure that he understood our goals. He stands by his work, and I am sure he will continue to be there for advise at any time. His prices were not the lowest, but reasonable considering the scope and quality of the work performed. No doubt we will continue to use him and recommend him.
