Do you need a survey? At first, our friend thought NO because it is not required when you purchase a home here.
When you want to trim or remove trees... you can just share the expense with your neighbors when trees are on the boundary of the property- that's the easy neighborly way.
IF your neighbor agrees to share the cost and what trees have to be removed- that's great. That's the easy way!
Our friend, The owner had a dispute about sharing the cost and who owned the trees w one neighbor. The other neighbors were wonderful.
Maybe our friend needed a privacy fence? She only wanted to remove a few messy, diseased, and infested trees. When there is not a meeting of the minds...agreement with all the neighbors... That's more complicated and a survey is a really good idea!!
This company answered all our questions about zoning, property lines, tree removal and cost. They outlined an example of an easy survey and a more difficult one. The price they quoted was reasonable and they started a week later.
Great service, respectful of our neighbors. They drive trucks with Company logos , so you can tell What company they work for.
To do the survey they will be walking around in yards looking for surveying metal pins. It's good to know they are working on a survey.
As it turns out our survey was complicated. Our friend was really glad to have a clear understanding of her property lines, especially since the previous recorded survey was several decades old.
She now has documentation on her property, including which trees are on what property.
She was so happy they worked hard and completely figured out the accurate boundaries. This area is changing and growing quickly, it's good information to know.
Thanks Grant Wood for being professional, courteous and easy to work with!
