Question for suryeors on the board

[Throwback]

When you put pins in the middle of a waist high 30 acre hay field to mark off a 5 acre lot do you charge extra to mark it with a 6 inch piece of flagging laid under the pin driven into the ground?? Do you laugh when you do it ?

When was it surveyed? Most surveyors would flag the crap out of it if there’s something to tie it to. If not, there’s probably a wooden stake laying around there that either got knocked over or rotted off.

I’d be on the phone calling someone back out. That’s not how it’s supposed to be done.

That’s very likely. People see survey flagging and stakes and get angry about it. It’s always worst case scenario in their minds too. We’ve had them pull up control points and transverse points just because.

If you put them in the right place we'd stop.

I will say that the surveyor who marked a boundary across a hay field about 3 years ago put a wooden stake with flagging tape every 50 feet or so.

When I got this place it was still described as it was when my GGGrand Father parcelled it out to my GGrand Father... in rods and chains from stacked stones to the creek crossing to the iron stob, etc.
