What should I consider when I drill a well?

• <div><p>When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses <b>100 gallons</b> of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.</p><p>Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.</p></div>

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—of, say, a table—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 is the difference between a land survey and a plat?

• <div><p>A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.</p></div>

Q: What does a land surveyor look for?

• <div><p>Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/site-development-costs.htm">cost of land development projects</a>.</p></div>

Q: What is involved in a topographic survey?

• <div><p>Detailed mapping of elevation changes and natural features on the property.</p></div>

They were prompt in getting to my home, worked until dark and came back early the next morning and cleaned up the rest of the debris. I thought they were reasonable with their price for doing the job and may have them come back at a later date to remove several trees at the back of my land.

I bought my house and land about 2 years ago, it had been let go some. So far the best money I have spent on it is hiring V&V. Rare combination of professionalism and" family owned" customer service. My land looks like a state park!

They show up when they say they will,and overall do a good job. I'm kinda of picky, so we point out things that may have been missed, they encourage feedback on each visit by suppling a survey card, and they correct on the next visit.

I found Ken's Tree Service on Angie's List and liked the reviews. When we called Ken one morning and he came out immediately to survey the tree and to give us an estimate. He said he would be out the next day, but the job he was on did not take as long as he thought and he and his crew arrived...
