Expert Land Surveying & Geospatial Mapping Services
Founded in 2004 by Jacob Carroll, Bearing Tree Land Surveying has established itself as a leader in advanced land surveying and geospatial mapping solutions. Our expertise in aerial LiDAR, mobile mapping, and 3D laser scanning technologies enables us to deliver unparalleled accuracy and efficiency to clients across the United States. With over two decades of combined experience, our team of licensed professionals prioritizes direct client engagement, ensuring hands-on service from project inception to completion. We maintain rigorous quality control through field verification and in-house data processing, setting industry benchmarks for precision. Our commitment to innovation has driven successful projects for transportation infrastructure, energy sectors, and architectural preservation, among others.By strategically remaining small, we offer nimble, focused service without compromising technical excellence. Our principals remain directly accessible to clients, reflecting our belief that exceptional surveying results from expertise, not scale. This philosophy has earned us recognition from professional organizations like the National Society of Land Surveyors and the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. We continuously invest in cutting-edge technologies such as Leica and Bentley software systems to maintain our competitive edge. From highway mapping to complex bridge rehabilitation projects, our work consistently exceeds industry standards while optimizing time and cost efficiency for clients.

Services
Aerial LiDAR Mapping
Our Aerial LiDAR Mapping service captures survey-grade data at 2,000,000 measurements per second with sub-centimeter accuracy. Using proprietary aircraft-mounted systems, we create detailed topographic maps for infrastructure and energy projects. This technology enables rapid data collection over large areas while maintaining better than 0.05-foot tolerances.
3D Laser Scanning
3D Laser Scanning provides precise as-built documentation for architectural and industrial applications. Our Leica RTC360 systems capture millions of data points to create accurate digital twins for bridge rehabilitation and facility management projects. This non-invasive technology reduces field time by 40-60% compared to traditional methods.
Mobile Mapping
Mobile Mapping systems combine LiDAR, GNSS, and inertial sensors to map roadways at highway speeds. This safe, efficient solution collects corridor data without traffic disruption, ideal for transportation departments needing rapid highway surveys and change detection analysis.
Aerial Imagery
Our manned aircraft capture 1 GSD orthoimagery for precise mapping applications. This service provides high-resolution aerial photos with geospatial metadata, essential for land development projects and environmental monitoring where drone limitations apply.
Boundary Surveys
Boundary Surveys establish legal property lines using historical records and modern measurement techniques. Our licensed surveyors perform title research and physical monumentation to resolve disputes and support real estate transactions across commercial and residential properties.
