What are the different types of land surveys?

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

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

• <div>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.</div>

How do I hire a land surveyor?

• <div>To hire a land surveyor, you need to start by searching online for reputable professionals in your area. Here are a few steps to take when making a shortlist:<ul><li>Browse land surveyor service website</li><li>Check credentials</li><li>Read customer reviews</li><li>Find their contact information</li><li>Call or email to inquire about more information</li><li>Ask how far they travel, if you’re some distance away</li><li>Find out how they charge for their services</li><li>Ask about schedule and turnaround times</li><li>Repeat these steps for one to two other services and compare pricing</li></ul></div>

Q: How do you build a road on a slope?

• <div>Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn&rsquo;t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.</div>

Q: How much does land surveying cost?

• <div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-land-survey-cost.htm">Land surveying costs</a> about $530 for the average homeowner. However, your total cost could range anywhere from $200 to $1,000 or more. Factors like the size of your property play a significant role in what you pay, but other things like the survey type and the time of year can also impact the final cost. For example, if you&rsquo;re looking for a simple boundary survey, you can expect to pay between $100 and $600. However, if you want a more in-depth survey that depicts the elevations of your hills and trees, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for a topographic survey. </div>
