One of the most valuable pieces of information a property owner can have is knowing exactly where their property lines are located.

Whether you’re planning to install a fence, build an addition, purchase land, resolve a boundary dispute, or simply want peace of mind, a professional boundary survey provides the accurate information you need before making important decisions.

Calton Land Surveying Services provides professional boundary surveys throughout New Castle, Lawrence County, and surrounding Western Pennsylvania communities. With more than 20 years of surveying experience and advanced GPS and robotic surveying technology, we deliver precise, dependable results for homeowners, businesses, developers, real estate professionals, and municipalities.

What Is a Boundary Survey?

A boundary survey is the process of locating and marking the legal boundaries of a parcel of land.

To accurately establish your property lines, our licensed professional land surveyor carefully researches available records, including:

• Property deeds
• Previous surveys
• Recorded subdivision plats
• Easements
• Public land records
• Existing survey monuments

We then perform field measurements using modern surveying equipment to determine the location of your property boundaries and identify any existing monuments or boundary markers.

The result is a clear understanding of your property’s legal boundaries and the confidence that comes with knowing exactly where they are.

When Do You Need a Boundary Survey?

Many property owners don’t realize they need a boundary survey until a project is already underway.

Common reasons to schedule a boundary survey include:

• Installing a fence
• Building a garage, shed, or addition
• Purchasing or selling property
• Property line disputes with neighbors
• Planning new construction
• Subdividing land
• Confirming easements
• Agricultural property improvements
• Commercial development
• Protecting your property rights

A professional survey can help prevent costly mistakes before construction begins.

Why Boundary Surveys Are Important

Assuming where your property line is can lead to expensive problems.

Building a fence, driveway, retaining wall, or other improvement on neighboring property may require removal, legal action, or costly modifications.

A professional boundary survey helps:

• Prevent encroachments
• Protect your property rights
• Clarify ownership boundaries
• Support real estate transactions
• Assist with permitting and development
• Reduce the risk of disputes
• Provide documentation for future projects
• Give property owners peace of mind

Knowing your boundaries today can save significant time and expense tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a boundary survey and a mortgage survey?
A boundary survey precisely determines the legal property lines using deed research, existing records, and field measurements. A mortgage or location survey is typically more limited in scope and may not establish or mark property boundaries with the same level of detail.

How long does a boundary survey take?
The timeline depends on factors such as property size, terrain, available records, and existing survey monuments. After discussing your project, we’ll provide an estimated schedule based on your property’s specific needs.

Will property corners be marked?
When appropriate for the project, existing monuments will be located, and boundary corners may be marked according to professional surveying standards and project requirements.

Do I need a boundary survey before installing a fence?
Yes. Installing a fence without confirming your property lines can result in encroachments onto neighboring property. A boundary survey helps ensure your fence is installed in the correct location.

Can a boundary survey help resolve a property dispute?
Yes. A professional boundary survey provides documented evidence of your property’s legal boundaries and is often an important first step in resolving disagreements regarding property lines.

Do you provide surveys for residential and commercial properties?
Absolutely. We perform boundary surveys for homeowners, businesses, commercial developments, agricultural properties, municipalities, and real estate professionals.

What information do you need to prepare a quote?
The property address is usually the best place to start. Additional information about the parcel, your project, or any existing documentation can also help us provide a more accurate estimate.
