Q: What type of land survey is the most expensive?

• <div><p>ALTA/ACSM surveys are the most comprehensive type of land survey and, as such, tend to be the most expensive. These surveys have standardized guidelines and reports and are used in many kinds of real estate transactions to ensure consistent and accurate information is available for properties.</p></div>

Q: What do land surveys typically include?

• <div><p>Property lines, building locations, and potential encroachments are mapped.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell if a tree is a historic landmark?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Do surveys have to be recorded?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s boundaries is needed. While you&rsquo;re not required to file survey documents, it&rsquo;s a good idea to do so. </p></div>

Very friendly, thorough and prompt service. The Chesapeake rep who surveyed my property actually recommended a cheaper alternative to water an area of my property than I had proposed! Big relief after dealing for years with rude and incompetent service from Hydro-Tech.

I provided the paint and the painters arrived and worked until they finished the hallway, stairway, and landing of colonial house. We were very pleased with the work and the price. And they were able to reach the very high places that are difficult to reach without the right equipment.
