Land Surveyor in Ballwin, Missouri

Ballwin is a West County suburb made up mostly of single-family subdivisions, strung along Manchester Road and the rolling ground on either side of it. Most homes sit on platted lots with recorded easements for sewers, storm drainage and utilities, often running along the back or side lines. Those easements are where trouble starts: a shed, deck or fence placed across one may have to come out. A property survey shows the lot lines and easements together so owners can plan around them.

Hilly terrain means many backyards slope toward a swale or creek, and stormwater moves through those yards on purpose. Grading changes, retaining walls and pool installs can alter drainage for neighbors, which is why permit reviewers often ask for a drawing showing the lot and the proposed work. When you send us the request, we schedule a licensed surveyor from our team or network who regularly works West County subdivisions.

Fishpot Creek runs through Ballwin, with a USGS stream gauge at Old Ballwin Road, and part of the city drains to Grand Glaize Creek on its way to the Meramec. Homes close to either channel can be near a mapped flood zone. If a lender raises the question, an elevation certificate settles it. We confirm the price, coordinate the field visit and deliver the signed survey or certificate, billed on one invoice from Survey Coordinator.
