From foothill lots near the Verdugo Mountains to flat neighborhood parcels, we provide accurate boundary, ADU, topographic, and ALTA surveys throughout Glendale — built for hillside grading, setback questions, and the city's permitting process.
Tell us what the city, county, architect, or engineer requested — we’ll help determine whether you need boundary, topo, setback, hillside, or permit survey support. Call now to discuss your project.
Glendale spans a wide range of properties — sloped foothill parcels climbing toward the Verdugo Mountains, established neighborhoods of historic homes, and pockets of newer construction on infill lots. Hillside sites bring grading and slope questions, while older parcels can carry boundary and legal-description details worth confirming. We tailor each survey to the property in front of us.
Properties inside the City of Glendale are generally permitted through the city's community development department (building and safety division), with recorded maps and legal descriptions handled by the Los Angeles County Recorder. Foothill areas near the Verdugo Mountains can add grading and slope considerations, and the strong demand for ADUs makes clear setback verification especially important. We prepare deliverables suited to these local requirements.
Yes. Many Glendale neighborhoods sit on slopes near the Verdugo Mountains, where topographic detail and careful grading and setback work are important — both core services.
Yes. ADU demand is strong in Glendale, and these projects typically need a setback survey — and sometimes a topographic survey on sloped lots — so your designer and the city can confirm placement.

Yes. Glendale mixes historic and newer homes, and older parcels can have legal descriptions and boundary lines that benefit from a careful boundary survey before any addition or fence work.
Survey work is completed by, or under the responsible charge of, California-licensed Professional Land Surveyors. When a stamped survey is required, the final deliverable will identify the responsible licensee for that project.
