What is checked during a survey?
Perimeter length, corners and turns, slope, ground type, existing walls or posts, gate openings and maintenance access are reviewed together. These details form the basis of the material and installation plan.
- Measurements and perimeter line
- Ground and supporting points
- Gate and access layout
How does a survey improve quote quality?
Approximate calculations without seeing the site may miss slope, concrete, rock, existing structures or custom gate details. A survey makes scope visible from the start and reduces surprises later.
Information you can prepare before the survey
Site photos, location, approximate measurements, intended use, desired height, gate needs and an existing plan if available make the first discussion more efficient.
Frequently asked questions
Does every fence project need a site survey?
A remote initial assessment may be possible for simple small projects, but seeing site conditions is useful for accurate scope and safe installation.
Which photos should I share for a survey?
Share wide and close photos showing the perimeter, corners, ground changes, existing walls or posts and possible gate locations.
