"I had used Leisure Lawn in the past for approximately 10 years or more and had to stop due to my finances. My lawn started looking really bad and I called them to start up service again. I was thrilled up until now. I had a burned spot in my lawn, the large area does not have the best soil, but green grass was growing there previously. I called to ask for someone to come out to check on it. The gentleman came (unannounced,) I was told it was because of my poor soil conditions. I called back a few days later to talk about this again as other spots have appeared. I was told the same thing. These other spots are in the middle of my healthy lawn that has great soil. I was told to look around at my neighbors lawns, they are the same!! (are you kidding me?) Well, they are not the same and the only difference are the chemicals used on my lawn!! He said the rain this weekend will fix it. If it needs “fixed” then there is something wrong!! I asked for something to be done and he refused. I asked to speak with the owners and he said they were not available for two weeks. My frustration is not only with my lawn, but with the attitude of the a general manager just throwing away my loyal business after so many years. If my business isn’t valuable enough to negotiate a solution, then my decision to take my business elsewhere was a good one."

Land surveying can help give clear guidance on your property boundaries for numerous situations. And in some cases, having your land surveyed is a requirement. Some common reasons to have your land surveyed include:
Planning for construction projects, like building a fence
Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures
Settling property line disputes
Creating subdivisions
Meeting mortgage requirements
Selling your property
Land surveying costs about $530 for the average homeowner. However, your total cost could range anywhere from $200 to $1,000 or more. Factors like the size of your property play a significant role in what you pay, but other things like the survey type and the time of year can also impact the final cost.
For example, if you’re looking for a simple boundary survey, you can expect to pay between $100 and $600. However, if you want a more in-depth survey that depicts the elevations of your hills and trees, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for a topographic survey.
A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:
Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued.
Location surveys provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property.
Mortgage location surveys are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy.
Site-planning surveys are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements.
Topographic surveys provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements.
Land survey reports provide a lot of helpful information about your property and land. The exact information provided depends on the type of survey you have done, but common information that they can provide includes:
Location of utility fixtures
Clear boundaries and dimensions of your property
General topography
Land elevation information
Confirmation of easements or encroachments
Land surveys don’t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don’t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.
