Residential Land Surveying Services

An ALTA Land Title Survey is a detailed, highly specialized survey that is critical for both commercial real estate transactions and verifying boundary lines. These surveys are governed by the standards set forth by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). They are designed to provide a comprehensive view of a property’s boundaries, existing structures, easements, and other pertinent features, ensuring that buyers and lenders have a complete understanding of the property they are dealing with.

A Boundary Survey is a precise examination and mapping of the property lines that define the extent of a parcel of land. Conducted by licensed professional land surveyors, this type of survey is fundamental for anyone who owns or plans to purchase real estate. Understanding where your property begins and ends is essential not just for legal reasons but also for maintaining good relationships with neighbors and ensuring that land use aligns with local regulations.

A Site Plan is a crucial document in the realm of residential development, serving as a detailed representation of a proposed project. It illustrates how the property will be developed, highlighting the layout of buildings, landscaping, parking, and other essential features. A well-designed Site Plan is vital for securing necessary approvals, guiding construction, and ensuring that the development aligns with zoning regulations and community standards.

Understanding Boundary and Topographic Surveys: The Foundation for Effective Design

A Boundary and Topographic Survey is a vital step in the preliminary phase of any civil engineering or architectural project. This type of survey provides a comprehensive view of a property’s boundaries and its natural and built features. The resulting Existing Conditions Map serves as a foundational document that guides the design and development process, ensuring that projects are not only feasible but also compliant with regulations and site characteristics.

Establishing an easement involves careful planning and documentation, where the expertise of professional land surveyors is crucial. A surveyor conducts a detailed property assessment, identifying boundaries and any features that may impact the easement.

A legal description provides a detailed and accurate definition of a property’s boundaries and location, typically used in documents like deeds. It ensures clarity in property ownership and transactions, removing any uncertainty. This description is vital for legal matters, documents and tax assessments.

A Title Survey is a crucial component in real estate transactions, focused on addressing title matters specified in a title commitment from a title insurer. It offers a detailed view of a property’s boundaries and legal characteristics, consolidating essential information for a clear understanding of the property.

ECA Mapping (Environmentally Critical Areas Mapping) identifies and defines areas with important environmental value or potential hazards, such as wetlands, steep slopes, ravines, and erosion-prone zones. This mapping is crucial for effective, sustainable land use planning and development.

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a cutting-edge remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to measure distances between the sensor and the ground. It rapidly captures millions of data points, producing highly detailed 3D maps of the Earth's surface, including topography and vegetation.

A Right of Way (ROW) Survey is a specialized survey that focuses on land designated for transportation or utility use, such as roads, highways, and access routes. This survey is crucial for planning, designing, and modifying existing rights of way, ensuring all legal, physical, and operational factors are properly addressed

At All Land Surveying, we are pleased to offer drone or UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) surveys as part of our full range of mapping services. This advanced technology has significantly enhanced land surveying, particularly in favorable conditions with clear airspace.
