What Is Residential Land Surveying (And Why It Matters)

A residential land survey shows the exact boundaries of your property. It also reveals key details like structures, easements, encroachments, and elevation.

Sounds simple, right? But here’s the thing…

A lot of problems start when people assume they know their property lines. Fences get built in the wrong place. Driveways cross into neighboring lots. Deals fall apart at closing.

A professional survey clears all that up.

At Meta Geomatics PLLC, we use modern tools like GPS/GNSS equipment, robotic total stations, and CAD software to map your property with precision. Then we back it up with deed research and local records.

How Our Survey Process Works

Research

Field Work

We visit your property and collect data using GPS equipment, total stations, or drones if needed.

Boundary Retracement

We compare field data with historical records to locate true property lines.

Marking Corners

We place physical markers like iron pins or stakes so you can clearly see boundaries.

Survey Plat

You receive a detailed drawing showing all findings, including structures, easements, and measurements.

Technology We Use (And Why It Matters)

Accuracy isn’t optional in surveying. Even a small mistake can cause big problems.

That’s why we use:

  • GPS/GNSS Survey Equipment for precise positioning
  • Robotic Total Stations for detailed measurements
  • LiDAR scanning for complex sites
  • Drones for aerial mapping
  • GIS systems for data analysis
  • AutoCAD Civil 3D for clean, accurate drawings

This allows us to deliver reliable results, even on tricky properties.
