About Us
Our Mission is Clear
Hilltown Land Surveys (HLS) is a small land surveying firm serving the Hilltowns and all of Western Massachusetts including Hampshire, Berkshire and Franklin Counties. Our focus is Boundary Surveys, Small Subdivision Surveys (ANR’S), Topographic Surveys, Wetland Location Surveys and Land Consulting, HLS provides free estimates, in-depth evaluations, and written proposals tailored to your specific land surveying needs.
Whether you’re having a problem with missing corners, need to cut a lot out of a larger property or, as is often the case, you just want to know where your boundaries are and how many acres you own, call or email HLS to set up an appointment.
Our small 2 person operation results in a very streamlined and efficient survey, from field to finish. Our use of the most modern surveying instruments available today results in a very small footprint on your land in the process.
HLS utilizes robotic surveying instruments and survey grade GPS equipment to “get the job done” in an efficient manner, leaving a very small “footprint” on your land in the process.
