Need property corners marked before work begins? Request property corner staking from Aerial Land Surveying, D.P.C. Share the address, available records and the marking your contractor needs.
Physical corner marks provide reference points for the property corners included in the agreed work. Tell us which part of the property you are planning to work on and how the marks will be used.
A homeowner preparing for a fence can have a different request from a contractor needing references for another improvement. Explain the intended use so the office can discuss what needs to be included, rather than assuming that every marking request has the same extent.
If the contractor needs to identify points between corners, say so in the request. Marking the corners and marking additional points along a line are different requirements that need to be discussed before the work is quoted.
Identify the sides of the property involved and the contractor's instructions. If the instructions are unclear, send what you received or ask the contractor to explain the need to our office. The scope should reflect the references needed for the project.
Tell us about any existing survey, including its date and who prepared it if known. The office can discuss that information in relation to the current property and the marking you want to request.
Having a drawing does not establish what is needed to mark the property today. Share changes you know about and any uncertainty about the records, so the proposed work can be reviewed for the actual request.
Property corner staking concerns marks at agreed property corners. If your reason for calling is "the contractor needs stakes," provide that exact requirement and explain the project it supports.
The office needs to understand the property and the information available before confirming the work involved. Ask which marks and any accompanying documentation are included in the proposed scope so you and the contractor can plan around the same understanding.
A request to mark a corner also depends on the boundary information for the property. If the location of the line is uncertain, or the records need review for the intended use, discuss that at the outset.
Our boundary survey service addresses property-line determination and documentation. Explain whether you need that information, physical marks, or both. The service name alone should not decide what is included in the order.
If your request concerns the positions of planned buildings or other designed work, tell the office that purpose and provide the relevant plans. Construction layout and property-corner marking serve different project needs.
Describe the intended references and who will rely on them so the office can discuss the appropriate service. If design work is still underway, your professional may also require a topographic survey for site elevations and features.
Ask the contractor to identify what must be marked for the planned work. Send those instructions with the property address and explain whether the request concerns a whole parcel or a particular portion of it.
The contractor's intended use helps define the conversation. For a fence, say which sides are involved and whether corners alone provide the requested references. If a site plan or permit request describes the work, mention it so the office can discuss the relevant information.
Tell us when the contractor expects to begin and when the marks need to be available. Discuss survey availability before arranging work that depends on the marking. A date entered in the inquiry is a requested date for the office to review.
If the construction schedule changes, let the office know. Ground disturbance or other work at the property can affect whether references remain usable, so explain how the site will be used between marking and the planned installation.
Physical property marks provide references within the agreed scope. Your contractor and the applicable reviewing authority remain responsible for identifying the requirements of the proposed project, including any plans or approvals they need.
Ask the appropriate local office about the submission requirements for a fence, pool or other improvement. They can differ by municipality and project. Send any written survey request to us so the marking and documentation can be discussed for that use.
Start with the full property address and town or village. For land without a street address, provide the parcel identifier or other location information you have. Include your contact details and identify who is placing the order.
Mention an existing survey, site plan or property document and its date. If you are unsure whether it is relevant, describe what you have and the office can discuss document exchange with you.
A useful request identifies the work that will rely on the marks. Include the following details where available:
You can choose "Property lines or corner marking" on the quote form and explain the details in your own words. If you are still working out what is needed, choose "Unsure" and include the request you received.
Tell the office about locked gates, pets, occupied properties, active work or other conditions that affect access. Identify the person who can coordinate arrangements, and mention any permissions that need to be addressed.
Avoid moving an existing marker because it appears to be in the way or in an unexpected place. Contact the office about the question so it can be discussed before the planned work proceeds.
Property corner staking pricing depends on the property, the information available and the extent of the requested work. The office needs to understand whether you are requesting corner marks, additional points or work connected to a boundary question.
Send the contractor's requirements with the initial inquiry. Ask the office to clarify the proposed scope and deliverables so the marking you need is included in the discussion before arrangements are made.

Share the address, available survey records and the date the contractor needs the marks. Availability is discussed for the specific property and scope, including any information or arrangements that need clarification first.
Call (631) 256-3019 to talk through the marking request. We strive to keep the discussion clear about what is needed, who will use it and what happens next.
You can also have the contractor contact the office with the property address and the requirements they are asking you to arrange. Identify who should receive questions about the order so the conversation reaches the appropriate person.
At project commencement, you'll receive an emailed order-tracking link showing where the job stands and which department is working on the file. Keep it with your project information and call if you need an update explained.
For an existing-order question, use our contact page and include the property address and order reference if available. Tell the office about a change to the project or required date.

Physical marking should be agreed as part of the scope. Tell the office what your contractor needs so it can be discussed before the quote is prepared.
Describe the sides involved and the references the contractor needs. Corners and additional points along a line are separate details to discuss for the requested work.
Contact the office and describe what happened. Do not assume a moved reference still represents the original position or replace it based on an estimate.
The marks provide the property references included in the survey scope. The proposed fence location also needs to account for the project's requirements and any applicable approvals. Confirm the installation plan with the relevant professionals.
New York's land surveying consumer guidance discusses clarifying requested services, including corner marking. The state also provides professional land surveying resources.
