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: Is it worth it getting a land survey?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should I hire a land surveyor before installing a new fence?

• <div><p>It is almost always necessary to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/land-surveying/">hire a land surveyor near you</a> to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence&mdash;not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for perc test results?

• <div><p>Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It&rsquo;s possible that you&rsquo;ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a land survey and a boundary survey?

• <div><p>A boundary survey measures the boundary lines of the property, only the length of each property line and their locations. A land survey includes a more in-depth measurement of the property, including the heights and depths of the terrain measured by a topographic survey. A boundary survey is typically the most cost-effective method for marking and measuring property lines.</p></div>

The fellows at Arbor Management are top notch! They are not mere tree trimmers - they really do MANAGE the trees! I called them initially to have an estimate for removal of a large pine tree. They convinced me that trimming the tree would save a perfectly healthy tree while keeping it under...

He came out and fenced in about 4 acres of land for my dogs. They put wire underground and gave us collars for our dogs to keep them on our land. Wonderful experience.

The painting part seems to be quite good, and it only took 2 days. The crew consisted of 5 men. They put down drop cloths and picked up all of those scrapings when they were finished. They vacuumed up the particles that didn't land on the dropcloth.
