🗺️ Topographic Surveys

Detailed Elevation Data for Smarter Planning

Topographic surveys are essential for understanding the shape and features of a property. At Global Land Surveying, we provide accurate, high-resolution elevation and feature data that supports smarter decisions during planning, design, and development. Whether you’re preparing for construction, grading, drainage, or land development, a topographic survey ensures that you’re working with a full picture of the land—not just the boundaries.

Our surveys map both natural and man-made features, including changes in elevation, trees, slopes, utility lines, buildings, retaining walls, and more. This information helps engineers, architects, and developers design in harmony with the existing landscape while meeting regulatory and structural requirements.

📐 What’s Included in a Topographic Survey:

• Contour lines and elevation data

• Natural features (trees, creeks, terrain variations)

• Man-made structures (buildings, fences, utilities, pavement)

• Drainage patterns and low points

• Spot elevations for detailed site analysis

🧰 Our Tools & Approach:

We use a combination of traditional surveying methods and advanced tools like GPS, robotic total stations, 3D LiDAR scanning, and drone-based aerial mapping (when appropriate) to capture precise elevation data. This hybrid approach allows us to adapt to the unique needs of your site—large or small.
