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>

We shopped and landed on Zubra both due to their A rating and price. Did the job well, ran into a small issue, but made everything work out and were still less than their competitor. Would hire again in a heartbeat.

They were terrific. Juan came out and surveyed our lawn and did a walk through with me and explained our options. He was very professional and pleasant. My lawn is looking beautiful! We are happy we found them. I personally like the fact that it is a veteran owned and operated business.

They were very prompt and helpful. They actually came back with a follow up survey, which I appreciated. The technician was able to reduce the fee for me as well. He told me it would be $150 originally, but it was reduced to $100.
