Surveying All of South Carolina Since 1982.
Whether you’re buying a lot, putting up a fence, or settling a question with a neighbor, a boundary survey shows you exactly where your property starts and stops. Abraham Land Surveying is a family firm of licensed South Carolina land surveyors based in Newberry. Tom Abraham founded it in 1982, and we’ve been marking lines for families, farms and businesses across the state ever since.
When you need one
- You’re buying a home, a lake lot, or rural acreage and want to know what you’re actually getting
- You’re installing a fence, driveway, outbuilding or addition near a property line
- You and a neighbor disagree about where the line is
- You’re buying acreage and want to confirm the actual acreage before you close
- You’re marking lines for hunting season, timber, crops or fencing
- You’re splitting off a parcel or planning a subdivision
What’s included / our process
- Research. We pull deeds, plats and records for your property and the neighbors’ before we head out.
- Fieldwork. Our crew finds the existing corners and monuments with best-in-industry equipment from Trimble, Leica and Carlson.
- Marking. We set or verify corners. On rural land we can flag the lines, blaze and paint trees, or set t-posts or stakes on the line.
- Plat. You get a signed plat that shows lines, corners and acreage, along with any easements, encroachments or flood zone issues we find. We print it in-house on our HP DesignJet wide-format plotter.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a boundary survey take in South Carolina?
It depends on the size of the property, the available records and the terrain. Call Abraham Land Surveying at (803) 276-8719 with your property details and we’ll give you a timeline with your free estimate; if you’re buying, order it early in your due diligence period rather than at the last minute.
Do I need a survey when I buy a house in South Carolina?
Your lender may not require one, but we strongly recommend it. A survey is the only service that can reveal easements, encroachments, projections and flood zone issues before you close.
What does a boundary survey include?
We research deeds and plats for your property and the neighbors’, locate existing corners and monuments in the field, set or verify corners, and deliver a signed plat showing lines, corners, acreage and any easements, encroachments or flood zone issues we find.
Will the surveyor mark my property lines?
Yes, we can do that. Depending on what you need, we can mark lines with flagging, painted or blazed trees, or stakes and t-posts, which is especially useful on rural land for fencing, timber or hunting.
What if my acreage is different from the listing?
It happens more often than you’d think. Finding out before closing protects you on the purchase price and on your property taxes.
How much does a boundary survey cost?
Cost depends on property size, records and terrain, so we quote each job individually. Estimates are always free; call (803) 276-8719.
