Survey Work in Prince George's County
Surveying in Prince George's County covers a wide range of project types:
- Urban infill and townhouse projects: Hyattsville, College Park, Bladensburg, and Greenbelt have dense residential development where precise boundary work near lot lines is critical.
- Government and institutional properties: The county is home to Joint Base Andrews, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and the University of Maryland campus. These properties generate institutional survey work separate from residential demand.
