It's the process of figuring out where your property lines actually are. We dig into the deed, look at old plats and surveys, find physical evidence in the field (iron pipes, stones, fences, etc.), and then mark the corners so you can see them. At the end, you know exactly what land is yours.

It depends on what you need, how big the property is, how complicated the boundary history is, and how hard the corners are to find. A straightforward residential lot survey is less expensive than a 40-acre parcel with missing monuments and conflicting deeds. Call us with some details and we can give you a number.

That's probably the most common reason people call us. A fence on the wrong line can create years of headaches—or an expensive move. If you're not 100% certain where your corners are, a survey is cheap insurance. The fence contractor can use our stakes as reference points.

It's not legally required in most cases, but it's smart—especially for rural property or anything without recent survey work. You'll know if the shed is actually on your land, whether the neighbor's driveway crosses your corner, and what you're really getting. Lenders sometimes require surveys; title companies often recommend them.

A CSM is Wisconsin's way of legally dividing property into a few parcels (up to four). It's a recorded map that shows the new lot lines, dimensions, easements, and other details. The municipality has to approve it before it can be recorded. If you're splitting land, this is probably what you need.

That's literally what we do. Corners get buried, overgrown, or knocked out by construction. Sometimes they were never set properly in the first place. We'll research the history, find whatever evidence exists, and set new monuments where they belong.

Not usually. We just need access to the property. If there's a locked gate or a dog, let us know ahead of time. Some people like to walk the lines with us when we're done—that's fine too, just ask.
