Planning on getting my boundry line of 54 acres surveyed soon , and currently getting quotes for the work. Two are back so far, both in the same price range.
My question is, what sets the better surveyors out from the rest of the pack?
What should i shy away from? Or look for? Or just go off prcie?
All corner stakes have already been marked in past surveys and subdiviisons, but what i really am looking for is the boundries run and marked up over the hill ...Offically. Will having good corner stakes lower the cost of what needs done?
And not to downplay an official survey that will hold up in boundry disbutes, but can a person who knows how to use a good GPS get me within a foot or two of the lines? I am not cutting timber or anything, but my property is a rectangular in shape and there is a spot or two that seem less wide than they should be. Especially when I transfer the boundries over an aerial map and compare it to where folks think the lines are now
I know nothing about surveying or GPSs, but would not mind doing a dry run within a foot or two before paying to have it done offically, I mean it could bite me too....although I doubt it.
Thanks in advance.
