Boundary Surveys
Expert Retracement of Property Boundaries by an Alberta Land Surveyor
Boundary
Surveying Services
A boundary survey is the retracement of original or previously surveyed property boundaries, a fundamental surveying service that requires the expertise of an Alberta Land Surveyor. It involves a thorough field investigation to unearth the evidence that defines where a property’s boundaries were originally surveyed.
At ProtechGeo Surveying Ltd., every boundary survey is completed under the supervision of our Principal Alberta Land Surveyor. Whether you are installing a fence, planning construction, resolving a boundary dispute, or locating features subject to setback requirements, our team delivers accurate, dependable results grounded in careful field evidence and sound survey law.

Certifications & Associations
A boundary survey retraces original or previously surveyed property boundaries, requiring the expertise of an Alberta Land Surveyor and a thorough field investigation of the evidence that defines them. ProtechGeo delivers the accurate boundary information needed for fencing, construction, setbacks, and dispute resolution.
Survey Only
Stakes and flagging placed in the field mark your boundaries, provided as the deliverable for immediate on-site reference.
Survey and Sketch
Stakes and flagging placed in the field, plus a sketch showing the survey details for a documented record of the results.
Our Approach
Evidence Recovery
We investigate the site to find the monuments that govern your parcel, including buried ones.
Marked in the Field
Stakes and flagging are placed on the line, so the boundary is visible on the ground.
Documented Findings
If you take that option, a sketch records what was recovered and what it shows.
Dispute Ready
Findings are recorded in enough detail to support your position if the disagreement becomes formal.
ALS Supervised
Our Principal Alberta Land Surveyor signs the retracement. Alberta survey law gives that signature its standing.
Straight Answers
If a Real Property Report would serve you better than a boundary survey, we'll say so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a property survey the same as a boundary survey?
My neighbour disagrees with the survey. What happens now?
The fence has been there for decades. Does that settle it?
Where do you provide boundary surveys?
ProtechGeo Surveying Ltd. proudly serves Edmonton and communities throughout Alberta, supporting residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal projects.
What is a boundary retracement survey?
A boundary retracement survey re-establishes the location of your property’s original or previously surveyed boundaries. Our Alberta Land Surveyor conducts a thorough field investigation to unearth the evidence that defines where those boundaries were originally placed, so you know exactly where your property lines sit.
Do you place markers showing my property lines?
Yes. As part of a boundary survey we place stakes or flagging in the field to mark your boundaries. Depending on the option you choose, we can provide the field markers alone, or the markers together with a sketch showing the survey details.
Do I need a boundary survey before installing a fence?
It is highly recommended. Confirming your boundaries before installing or replacing a fence helps ensure it is built on your property and avoids costly disputes with neighbours down the road.
