Boundary Line Work
Boundaries need to be well marked to protect the property from trespass
and encroachment. Connwood uses maps, compass, tapes and metal
detector to accurately locate boundary lines and corners. We can also do
deed/survey research at government offices to find difficult boundaries.

Once located Connwood can then delineate boundary lines by identifying
them with markings.  The standard for marking boundaries is the use of
paint marks. These are hand-sized paint marks at eye-level. Trees within
arm’s length of the boundaries are blazed, with the blazes facing the
boundary line. Trees that fall
directly on the boundary receive a front and
back blaze in the direction of the line. The blazes should be given a new
coat of paint every 5 years. Custom signs can also be hung about every
100 feet to communicate anything the landowner desires, like ‘Nature
Preserve’ or ‘No Hunting’.
