• <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 long does it take for perc test results?

Q: Do surveys have to be recorded?

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