Needing property surveyed outside of North Zulch. Can anyone recommend someone to use?

Not Garrett
Not Paul Williams
Not Kerr

Let me look at see if I can find the one I'd actually recommend...I met him last year and he was actually honest and willing to do a quality job...

I've used Kerr a number of times and been happy. Thayer aren't the cheapest but their communication is good and they stay on time. Worth paying for when you look at what's at stake in a real estate deal.

Point is they look to cut corners. On a residential block and lot survey, not a huge deal. But on a larger parcel it is important to verify and mark each waypoint and have line of sight bearing verification of each waypoint along the way. Some points are difficult to get to, and they'll slack off if you don't watch them.

Kerr did a survey for my neighbors and didn't mark any of the difficult points to access. You don't just get to say "and 1500 feet that way thru the forest is the next point"

They used to only work in college station but expanded a few years ago and believe they do work in and around the surrounding counties.

Curtis Strong

Another vote for Curtis Strong. Used him several times and found him prompt, fairly priced and no issues with the survey.

You're not paying for them to cut you a line of sight. It used to be this way before gps, but only because line of sight was necessary to get the measurement. They're surveyors, not a land clearing company. Also, if the plat has a corner, Kerr would have flagged it up or set a new rod. I follow Kerr quite often and he does great work.

James Johnson is a fellow '06 classmate. He runs the survey department of Jones Carter in College Station and they do great work (full disclosure, I worked in that office for 2.5yrs).

Strong also does good work and is a stand up guy involved in his industry.

hardly anyone makes SARATOGA happy, except this one guy. but he can't remember his name.

Henry Mayo at Joe Orr has access to drone lidar!
