The team did a great job on the survey and working with our neighbors to explain what was going on. Much appreciated!
I originally hired this company since they were the cheapest of my 3 quotes for a land survey regarding a property line dispute. Nick was communicative and quick to send his team out the same day I hired them. Mariah and Ben were very personable and did a great job. Would definitely recommend this company for any survey needs.
Nick worked wonders on our missing mounument. He found it buried 12" below the surface. We appreciated the time he spent with us to explain all the implications of the finding. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing clarity and resolution to their boundary issues.
Very professional and very thorough with the job highly recommend Using this company
We have used 1LS twice on our rugged, oddly shaped lot. Employees have listened to our needs, worked carefully, re-checked their work and literally walked me through their findings. I will use them any time there is a boundary issue.
1LS Surveying provided a prompt thorough and excellent response to our request for a survey of a proposed property that we were buying. Mariah and Jordan were thorough, and explained everything throughout the process. Nick LaFond, the owner of 1LS was very thorough in his explanation and conduct of the whole survey…

Glad we could quickly assist with the boundary dispute. Mariah & Ben are great; thanks for mentioning them. I'll admit this only worked out so quickly because we had a list-minute opening in our schedule. Feel free to reach should you need any more help -- Nick

Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Linda! We truly appreciate your kind words about our professionalism and thoroughness. Surveying properties tied to old plats often brings unique challenges, as historical records can frequently contain discrepancies or conflicting boundary markers. Resolving these issues requires a deep level of professional judgment, meticulous research, and specialized experience to ensure everything is accurately aligned. We are incredibly glad our dedication to getting the job done right showed through in our work. Thank you again for highly recommending 1LS Surveying LLC! -- Nick

We cannot recommend them highly enough
appreciate you, Stan. Great clients -- come back anytime!
Nick was absolutely easy and seamless to work with. They were able to get to my property within 24 hours of my call. 1000% worth the money. They found additional FEET!
Hey BreAnne! One of those situations where you had a feeling.. and you were right. Going with your gut worked out nicely -- Nick
Very impressed with Nick's responsiveness, thorough communication, and quick turnaround on our partial property survey. The entire process was efficient, professional, and exactly the level of service I appreciate and expect when working with another industry professional. I highly recommend Nick and team and would not hesitate to work with them again.
really appreciate the review, Zach. If I'm being honest not every opportunity works out this smoothly. I tend to attract great clients and *most* of the time it goes this way. It's satisfying to hear we've set a high bar -- Nick
Amazing team with timely and accurate results. Top notch gear had them in and out of the forest without wasting time. Had a 2-3 day job done in a day and a half. Over 150 foot elevation change, valleys, downed trees, creek crossings, blackberries,… this team plowed through it. The owner Nick knows his stuff. He worked with us every step of the way. We now have the knowledge and confidence to make our land ours finally. No more guessing where the lines are or if your on your neighbors land or yours. Thank you Nick, we are telling everyone about you!!! Great job. 👏
So sweet of you! What a cool property you have -- thoroughly enjoyed working with you -- Nick
Mike and Ben of 1LS Surveying LLC did a wonderful job for us. They arrived early in the day, got the surveying equipment out and ready to use, then came to the door to introduce themselves. After reviewing the area with me and seeing the location of a potential monument they got to work and located a marker two feet below ground level. They spent the day finding and marking the monuments, verified their locations and left easy to locate ground level markers. Through it all, they listened to my questions, answering them clearly. Our and the neighbor's property were left in good order.
Thank you, Stephen, for your kind review and for recognizing Mike and Ben's professionalism. It’s great to hear they answered your questions clearly throughout the process. Please don’t hesitate to contact 1LS Surveying if you need anything further or future surveying services -- Nick @ 1LS Surveying
