Stake surveys provide a drawing with more detail and accuracy than a Location Drawing, and also mark the property corners on the ground with iron rods and wooden stakes.
This type of survey has many uses: putting up a fence, planting trees or landscaping near the property line, resolving a boundary line dispute, or anytime you need an accurate determination of your property lines. Free estimates are made on a job-by-job basis; however they start at $1,100 and average between $1,200 and $1,500. The cost depends on the size, shape, terrain (such as a waterfront property), amount of wooded area, field evidence and complexity of the deeds.
