SURVEY TYPES

What is a Land Only Survey?  Land Surveying allows you to understand your land boundaries. A survey is performed in order to locate, describe, monument, and map the boundaries and corners of a parcel of land. It might also include the topography of the parcel, and the location of buildings and other improvements made to the parcel.

Waterloo Surveyors can perform accurate topographical surveys to outline features of any property.
