LAND SURVEY

You may think that a casual inspection of your property will tell you where all of the boundaries for your (and your next door neighbors’) buildings, fences and other improvements are located.

However, If you purchase or make an improvement to your property without an accurate land survey, you may have a surprise waiting for you! You might determine that your home actually is partly located on your neighbors property, or your neighbor's garage is actually sticking onto your lot. These problems can be avoided ahead of time with a proper land survey by Welsh's.

Land surveying is the practice of the science of measurement; the assembly and assessment of land and geographic related information; the use of that information for the purpose of planning and implementing the efficient administration of the land, the sea and structures thereon; and the instigation of the advancement and development of such practices.
