Q: How often should land surveys be conducted?

• <div><p>Before property transactions or major improvements to ensure accuracy.</p></div>

Q: How long does a land survey take?

• <div><p>A land survey can take anywhere from a few hours to a month or more, depending on the size of the property, the type of survey, the property&rsquo;s accessibility and topography, and the availability of historical property records.

Q: How do well drillers know where to drill?

Q: How do you prepare for a land survey?

• <div><p>To prepare for a land survey, you must thoroughly check your land surveyor&rsquo;s qualifications, reviews, and fees to align with your expectations.
