“I’m putting a fence in my backyard and need to find my property line. How do I do that?”

Rick from Alabama

Rick,

It’s important to know exactly where your property lines are before starting a construction project in your yard. Licensed land surveyors can be found in the phonebook to survey your property and mark the corners of your land. It may also be possible to use a metal detector to locate the original metal pegs that mark the corners of your property.

Good luck with your project!
