Before you build a fence, settle a dispute, or buy a lot, you need to know exactly where your property ends. A boundary survey draws that line with authority.

A boundary survey establishes the legal perimeter of your property on the ground. We research the deed, prior surveys and recorded maps, recover or set monuments at the corners, and produce a sealed plan showing your lines, dimensions, and any encroachments or easements that affect the parcel.
On the shore, tight lot lines, bulkheads, riparian boundaries and decades of additions make accurate boundaries essential — and our archive of historic NJ survey records often lets us resolve old corners faster than a firm starting cold.
We run this survey across the Ocean County shore and mainland — from Lavallette, Seaside Heights and Ortley Beach to Toms River, Brick, Point Pleasant Beach and Long Beach Island — out of our Lavallette office. See all service areas →
A straightforward residential boundary survey in Ocean County commonly runs about $800 to $3,500. Barrier-island lots, missing corners, and waterfront improvements often cost more. That is a typical range, not a quote — send the address and deadline and we confirm a flat fee.
Hire a New Jersey licensed professional land surveyor. We research the deed and filed maps, recover or set corners, and deliver a signed, sealed boundary survey showing fences and structures against the line. The survey does not decide the dispute; it is the map an attorney or court uses.
A boundary survey locates your property lines and corners. A title (or ALTA) survey adds the detail lenders and title companies require for a transaction — improvements, easements, rights-of-way and title-commitment items. Many closings need the title survey; a fence or dispute usually needs the boundary survey.
Where appropriate, yes. We recover existing monuments and set new ones at corners that are missing or disturbed, so your lines are physically marked on the ground, not just on paper.
A sealed boundary survey is the professional, defensible determination of where the line falls based on the records and evidence. It's what attorneys and courts rely on, and it frequently resolves disputes before they escalate.
Possibly. We've acquired the survey histories of a number of respected New Jersey surveyors who are no longer in business, which can include records for shore parcels. Ask our office with your address.
It depends on lot complexity, vegetation and how much record research is involved. We'll give you a realistic timeline with your quote, and we move quickly when a closing or permit deadline is driving it.
Send us the property and your deadline — we'll price it and schedule it fast.
