Land Surveying is the art and science of establishing or reestablishing corners, lines, boundaries, and monuments of real property (land) based upon recorded documents, historical evidence, and present standards of practice.  Land Surveying also includes associated services such as analysis and utilization of survey data, subdivision planning and design, writing legal descriptions, mapping, construction layout, and precision measurements of angle, length, area, and volume.

One of the primary duties of the Land Surveyor is to find the boundary of a owner's property.  That boundary is described in legal documents and the Land Surveyor follows that description and locates the boundary on the physical land and marks it, so that the owner know precisely what land they own.

Land Surveying is part Archeology and part private investigator.  This combination provides independent information that protects your property rights.
