Land Surveyors in Bastrop, Texas
Survey Works provides licensed land surveying services in Bastrop and throughout Bastrop County for residential, commercial, and rural land projects. Over 10 years of field-tested experience, delivered with precision on every engagement.
Land Surveying for Bastrop County Property
Survey Works provides boundary, property, topographic, and construction surveying across Bastrop County, from quarter-acre lots in town to ranch acreage outside Smithville. Most jobs come down to where the line runs, how the ground drains, and what a deed written two generations ago has to say about both.
Our crews work out of Austin, thirty miles up Highway 71, with over 10 years of field-tested experience on rural and residential Texas land. That range matters in a county where the morning job can be a small lot in town and the afternoon can be a hundred acres of pasture with corners no one has found in decades.
Property Surveys
We deliver sealed property surveys for home closings, refinancing, and fence projects throughout Bastrop County. The crew locates the corners, marks the lines, and produces the drawing your title company or lender needs, with physical monuments on the ground to back it up.
Boundary Surveys
On acreage, the fence and the boundary are often two different lines. We reconcile the recorded deed against the monuments, pins, and fence evidence on the ground and establish a defensible boundary for sales, subdivisions, family partitions, and disagreements between neighbors.
Topographic Surveys
Before a house, barn, or septic field goes on rural land, the ground has to be mapped. Our topographic surveys capture contours, drainage paths, and existing features so builders and engineers can site improvements where the land will support them.
Elevation Certificates
The Colorado River and its creeks carry mapped flood zones through much of the county. We provide certified elevation data for homes and buildings in or near those zones, supporting flood insurance rating, permit approvals, and map amendment requests.
Construction Staking
We stake foundations, driveways, utilities, and building corners for new construction across Bastrop County. Precise layout on the front end keeps the slab inside the setbacks and the project moving through inspections.
Legacy Parcels and a Growing Corridor
A working survey practice in Bastrop County spends a lot of time in the historical record. Much of the county traces back to original Texas land grants measured in varas, and the deeds behind rural tracts often describe corners by trees, creeks, and neighbors long gone. Our crews reconcile that record with modern GPS measurement to establish a defensible line, and the older the parcel, the more the fieldwork looks like detective work before it looks like measurement.
The other half of the work is new. Growth is moving east out of Austin along Highway 71 and Highway 290, bringing subdivisions, commercial pads, and infrastructure to land that was ranched for a century. New construction brings staking, platting support, and topographic work, and it raises the stakes on getting the old boundaries right before anything gets built on top of them.
River frontage adds one more layer. Parcels along the Colorado and its tributaries carry mapped flood zones, and a closing or construction loan on those properties regularly needs certified elevation data alongside the boundary work.

Ordering a Survey in Bastrop
Ordering a survey here starts with a proposal request: the property address, what prompted the survey, and any documents you already have, like a deed or an old survey drawing. We confirm which survey type fits the situation, what drives the cost, and when a crew can be on the property. Every survey we seal meets the standards of the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.
Most landowners order a survey a few times in a lifetime, and rural parcels come with their own questions, like access easements and fences that wandered off the deeded line decades ago. We explain what you are getting and why it fits your property before any fieldwork is scheduled, in plain language.
