What we measure

Six core surveys, one licensed team.

Every survey is performed under a New Jersey Professional Land Surveyor and delivered as a signed, sealed plan you can hand straight to your lender, FEMA, your municipality or your title company.

The shore's #1 request

Flood elevation certificates that protect your premium.

On a barrier island, a few inches of elevation can mean thousands of dollars a year in flood insurance. Our FEMA Elevation Certificates document exactly where your lowest floor sits relative to the Base Flood Elevation — the number your insurer, lender and town all rely on.

  • Current FEMA form, completed by a licensed surveyor
  • Shoots lowest floor, grade & mechanicals to NAVD 88 datum
  • Supports LOMA / LOMR-F requests to remove a flood zone
  • The documentation lenders and the NFIP require to rate your policy

Why Lakeland

Half a century of lines that hold up.

01 — Heritage

A name that's meant surveying since 1972

Five decades of records across all 21 NJ counties — and an archive of historic survey histories most firms simply don't have.

02 — Precision

Robotic total stations & GPS

Field data captured with leading-edge instruments and tied to control, so your plan stands up to a lender, a board, or a neighbor's attorney.

03 — Speed

Closings don't wait. Neither do we.

When another firm doesn't show, clients call us — and we've delivered next-day surveys for time-sensitive closings for years.

How it works

From request to stamped plan.

Tell us the property

Send the address and what you need it for — a closing, a permit, a flood policy, a build. We confirm scope and price, usually same day.

We survey the site

A licensed crew locates corners, structures and elevations on the ground using robotic and GPS equipment tied to record data.

You get a sealed deliverable

A signed, sealed plan or certificate — formatted for FEMA, your lender, your municipality or your title company.

In their words

The reason attorneys keep our number.

★★★★★

"I needed a surveyor for a closing the next day. Lakeland went to the property that day and hand-delivered the completed survey the following morning. That level of service is why they're my exclusive surveyor."

Eric S. Hausman, Esq.Real estate attorney
★★★★★

"They came the next business day when another company failed to show. Both the owner and the surveyor were professional, thorough, and gave us an in-depth survey at a very good price."

NJ property ownerBoundary survey
★★★★★

"I playfully call Lakeland WBS — World's Best Surveyor. Whatever I need, whenever I need it, they get it done. In land development, an experienced surveying firm is essential."

A proprietary asset

We hold survey histories no one else has.

When respected New Jersey surveyors retire or close, we acquire their historical survey records. That archive often lets us resolve a boundary, locate an old monument, or answer a title question faster — and at lower cost — than starting from scratch.
