At Wayne Acree, P.L.S., Inc., we provide comprehensive land surveying services for residential, commercial, and municipal clients throughout West Monroe, Louisiana, and the surrounding region. Our family-owned and operated company has built a reputation for precision, reliability, and professionalism over decades of serving Northeast Louisiana. So whether you need easement surveys, survey drafting, or detailed mapping for new development, we bring local expertise and advanced technology to every project we undertake.
We also truly understand the land here — flat river plains, wooded lots, and rolling terrain shaped by the Ouachita River and the humid southern climate. That’s why our team has extensive experience working with these conditions and the zoning regulations that come with them. From boundary mapping to subdivision design, we are proud to be the trusted surveying professionals in the West Monroe area.
Precision and Experience You Can Count On
We believe that accurate surveying is the foundation of every successful project. Whether it involves a private property line or a large commercial site, every decision depends on reliable measurements and documentation. Our surveyors use state-of-the-art GPS equipment, drone mapping, and 3D laser scanning to capture precise data for projects of all sizes.
Our services are designed to support every phase of land development, from initial planning through final construction. By combining decades of experience with modern surveying technology, we deliver detailed, actionable results that help you move your project forward with confidence.
Boundary Surveying
A boundary survey determines the exact limits of your property. It identifies property corners, lines, and easements based on both field measurements and public records. In West Monroe, boundary surveys are especially important before building, selling, or dividing land, as property lines can shift over time due to development or natural changes in terrain.
We research deeds, plats, and historical records to ensure accuracy, then clearly mark your property lines for construction or legal documentation. This service prevents boundary disputes and ensures that improvements such as fences, buildings, and driveways are properly placed.
Topographic Surveying
A topographic survey measures the shape, elevation, and natural features of the land, providing a detailed map that is essential for engineering and design. Our topographic surveys include contour mapping, drainage analysis, and identification of existing structures or vegetation.
This type of survey is ideal for site planning, flood analysis, and infrastructure projects throughout the West Monroe area, where terrain and elevation can significantly affect drainage and construction decisions.
Route Surveys
Our route surveys help define legal access rights for utilities, driveways, drainage, or other purposes. We accurately map right-of-ways, easements, and servitude boundaries and verify their dimensions to ensure compliance with property agreements and local regulations.
For property owners, utility companies, and municipalities, these surveys are critical to avoiding conflicts and ensuring that they are properly recorded and respected.
Survey Drafting and Legal Descriptions
Our survey drafting services provide the clear, detailed documentation needed for legal, engineering, and construction purposes. Using modern CAD and GIS software, we create precise maps, plats, and legal descriptions that meet all state and local standards.
We work with attorneys, engineers, and landowners to draft professional survey documents that clearly outline property boundaries, easements, and improvements. Every project we complete is delivered with accuracy, clarity, and long-term usability in mind.
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
For commercial and industrial properties, we provide ALTA/NSPS land title surveys that meet national standards for real estate transactions. These surveys identify boundaries, easements, rights-of-way, and improvements, helping lenders and title companies verify land ownership and potential encumbrances.
Our detailed ALTA surveys are tailored to each client’s needs and coordinated with title professionals to ensure a seamless closing process.
Construction Staking and Control Surveys
Before any structure is built, construction staking ensures that everything is positioned correctly on the site. We provide precise construction control surveys for buildings, utilities, and infrastructure, ensuring that projects meet design specifications from the ground up.
Our field crews use advanced GPS and total station equipment to mark exact locations for foundations, utilities, roads, and other features, reducing costly errors and rework.
Subdivision Planning and Platting
Our subdivision services help developers and property owners turn land into well-planned residential or commercial communities. We handle everything from preliminary planning and subdivision platting to final surveys and municipal approvals.
Our team understands local zoning and permitting processes, helping clients navigate West Monroe’s development regulations efficiently and accurately.
3D Laser Scanning and Drone Surveying
We use 3D laser scanning and drone surveying to capture highly accurate data for complex or large-scale projects. These technologies allow us to map sites faster and with greater detail, improving accuracy for engineering, construction, and inspection.
Drone imagery and laser data also enhance our ability to produce detailed topographic maps, volume calculations, and as-built surveys.
GIS Mapping and Utility Surveys
We provide GIS mapping services and utility mapping for public works, municipalities, and private developers. These surveys create digital, data-rich maps that track infrastructure such as water lines, electrical systems, and storm drains.
Our GIS data helps communities and engineers manage assets more efficiently and plan for long-term improvements.
