Tree Surveys

While tree preservation is important, it must be noted that surveys aren't just about saving the trees. Maintaining the proper greenery can also increase the overall value of your property. However, not abiding by your local ordinance can be financially taxing to your property. There are financial penalties for unauthorized tree damage and removal.

What is a tree survey?

A tree survey is a detailed examination and assessment of the trees on a property, typically carried out by a professional arborist or land surveyor. It provides essential information about the health, species, age, location, and size of each tree. Tree surveys are often required for planning and development projects, risk management, preservation of trees during construction, and compliance with local regulations.

Why Do You Need a Tree Survey?

Many local county laws now require tree surveys when developing commercial and residential property. For example, The City of Houston Tree and Shrub Ordinance has standards in place for tree & shrub planting and removal. Our surveys provide developers with qualified information to make educated decisions. Being informed of where trees are located and what species they are is important, it will help to incorporate them to the overall development plan.

Common Questions about Land Surveying

What is land surveying and why is it important?

Land surveying is the process of measuring and mapping the physical features of a piece of land. This includes determining boundaries, marking property lines, and identifying natural and man-made features such as hills, streams, and buildings. Land surveying is essential for a variety of reasons, including property ownership, construction and development projects, and legal disputes.

What are some common methods used in land surveying?

There are several methods used in land surveying, including Global Positioning System (GPS) surveying, terrestrial surveying, and aerial surveying. GPS surveying uses satellites to accurately determine the location of points on the earth's surface, while terrestrial surveying involves taking measurements on the ground using a variety of tools and equipment. Aerial surveying uses aircraft or drones to capture images and data from above.

How much does land surveying cost and how long does it take?

The cost and duration of land surveying can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the property, the type of surveying method used, and the location. Generally, land surveying can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars and can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to complete. It is important to obtain multiple quotes from qualified surveyors before selecting a provider to ensure that you receive a fair price and accurate results.
