Q: What should I consider when planning land survey costs?

• <div><p>When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:</p><ul><li><p>Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet</p></li><li><p>Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features</p></li><li><p>Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)</p></li><li><p>Distance traveled for the professional surveyor </p></li></ul><p></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>

Q: Why hire a professional land surveyor?

• <div><p>A professional land surveyor ensures accurate property boundaries and prevent legal disputes.</p></div>

Q: Do you measure from 0 or 1 on a measuring tape?

• <div><p>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&mdash;of, say, a table&mdash;to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.</p></div>

Q: What are the different types of land surveys?

• <div><p>A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Boundary surveys </b>describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. </p></li><li><p><b>Location surveys</b> provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. </p></li><li><p><b>Mortgage location surveys</b> are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. </p></li><li><p><b>Site-planning surveys</b> are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. </p></li><li><p><b>Topographic surveys</b> provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

The Maryland Pickers responded very quickly to a request, came to survey the job quickly, and got everything removed and cleaned up within a week. The price was fantastic. I would absolutely use them again if I need more junk removed or hauling services.
