Land Surveying Services in Bowling Green, KY

Accurate surveying gives every property transaction, development plan, and construction project a dependable starting point. At Landmark Engineering, we provide land surveying services throughout Bowling Green, Warren County, South Central Kentucky, and nearby Tennessee communities for commercial developers, residential builders, property owners, attorneys, lenders, and public agencies. Since 2004, our team has served clients across Kentucky and Tennessee with precise fieldwork, clear documentation, and responsive communication. Led by owner and president Thaddaeus J. Lucas, PE, PLS, we combine experienced land surveyors with modern GPS tools, aerial information, and practical local knowledge.

Reliable Measurements Before Major Decisions

Property boundaries, elevations, easements, improvements, and existing site conditions can affect what may be purchased, divided, financed, designed, or built. Relying on old records, informal markers, or assumptions may create disputes and expensive changes later.


A professional land survey provides verified information that supports better decisions. Our surveyors review available records, complete appropriate field measurements, and prepare the drawings or documents required for the project.

Boundary Surveys for Property Clarity

A boundary survey identifies the limits of a parcel using deeds, recorded plats, monuments, field evidence, and applicable surveying standards. It may be needed before buying land, installing improvements, dividing property, resolving a dispute, or beginning construction near a property line.


We provide boundary surveys in South Central Kentucky and nearby Tennessee Communities for residential and commercial properties. Our team works carefully to reconcile field evidence with recorded information and clearly document the results.

Property Line Surveys for Homeowners

Homeowners often request a property line survey before building a fence, driveway, garage, addition, or outdoor improvement. Knowing the boundary location may help prevent accidental encroachment onto neighboring land or into an easement.

Our residential surveyors explain the process and the type of survey appropriate for the situation. We focus on providing useful, understandable information rather than leaving property owners with technical documents they cannot interpret.

Topographical Surveys and GPS Mapping

A topographical survey records the physical characteristics of a site, including ground elevations, contours, structures, utilities, pavement, drainage features, vegetation, and other visible improvements. Engineers, architects, landscape architects, and developers use this information when evaluating design and grading options.

Our topographical surveys and GPS mapping combine field experience with modern technology. Accurate existing-condition data helps design teams identify constraints early and create plans that respond to the actual property.

ALTA and Land Title Surveys

Commercial real estate transactions often require a detailed survey that meets national standards established for lenders, title companies, buyers, and attorneys. An ALTA survey may document boundaries, easements, access, improvements, encroachments, utilities, and other conditions affecting the property.

We provide ALTA/NSPS land title surveys based on the current requirements of the transaction. Our team coordinates with the client and other parties to identify the required survey items before fieldwork and drafting begin.

Subdivision Layout and Plat Recording

Dividing property requires careful coordination with local regulations, road access, utilities, drainage, easements, and development standards. Incomplete or inaccurate plats can delay approvals and create long-term title or access concerns.

We support subdivision projects through preliminary surveying, lot layout, legal descriptions, monumentation, and plat preparation. Our team can also assist with construction layout and plat recording so the project moves more smoothly from planning into development.

Construction Layout and Staking

Construction plans must be translated accurately from drawings to the physical site. Incorrect placement of buildings, roads, utilities, foundations, or grading features can create costly rework and schedule delays.

Our construction layout services establish the points, lines, elevations, and offsets contractors need in the field. We coordinate with project plans and construction teams to help ensure improvements are placed where the approved documents require.

As-Built Surveys and Final Documentation

Completed construction does not always match design documents exactly. An as-built survey records the final location and elevation of improvements, utilities, structures, or site features after installation.

These plans may be needed for project closeout, municipal approval, future maintenance, or verification of compliance. We collect and present the relevant field information clearly so owners and agencies have a dependable record of completed work.

Modern Technology Guided by Field Experience

Advanced tools improve efficiency, but reliable surveying still depends on professional judgment. GPS equipment, aerial photography, digital data collection, and mapping software must be used alongside careful research and experienced field interpretation.

Our team combines current surveying technology with seasoned leadership. This balance helps us produce precise, practical surveying products for properties ranging from individual residential lots to complex development sites.

One Partner From Site Evaluation to Construction

Development projects often require multiple surveys as they move from acquisition through design, approval, and construction. Working with one established firm can improve continuity and reduce the need to repeatedly explain the property and project history.
