Surveys, Stakes, and Plat Maps
The most reliable tool is a Certified Property Survey (usually found in your closing documents). This document shows exactly where the iron property stakes are buried at the corners of your lot. If these stakes are missing, we recommend hiring a surveyor to re-mark the property before installation begins.
