See the land.
Understand the details.

We turn aerial imagery, GNSS field observations, and site photographs into clear, organized property documentation. From existing site conditions to interactive GIS references, our work helps landowners see the bigger picture and share useful information.

Our core capabilities

Mapping and documentation,
made practical.

Clear maps and visuals to help you understand, document, and discuss your property.

Property Feature Mapping

Wells, gates, cameras, visible electrical equipment, water access, and other agreed features, organized on a layered GIS map. You receive a finished map plus KML/KMZ files that open in Google Earth. Underground information is recorded as owner-reported.

Discuss your property ↗

Aerial Mapping & Imagery

A high-resolution overhead view of your property, useful for planning, sharing, and keeping a record of visible conditions. Coverage is agreed before work begins.

View project examples ↗

Contour & Terrain Maps

Understand terrain shape, high and low areas, and potential drainage patterns. Useful visual references for discussions about drainage, ponds, and site planning.

3D Site Models

Rotate and zoom around a visual model of your property from your phone or computer, where suitable imagery supports a model.

Explore 3D examples ↗

Additional support includes aerial photo and video documentation, site evaluation, visual project planning, and repeat documentation where applicable. All reference mapping is for information and documentation, not a licensed land survey.

Visual documentation examples for reference and discussion. The interactive demonstration uses an invented site; these examples do not establish legal boundaries or certify elevations.

What you receive

More than a collection of photographs.

We bring site information into practical formats you can keep, view, and share. The deliverables are selected around the property’s needs. Included outputs, formats, software compatibility, viewing-link access, and availability periods are agreed in the quote. Each service includes its agreed outputs.

  • Organized aerial imagery and photo records
  • GIS layers identifying documented site features
  • For property-feature mapping: a finished map and underlying data files
  • Google Earth-compatible KML/KMZ is standard for property-feature maps
  • For agreed 3D work: a phone-friendly viewing link and downloadable model file
Customer project

Exploring possible pond locations

A landowner wanted to understand how water moved across a field and explore possible pond locations. Practical Land Services provided aerial photos and a contour map, then walked through the results with the customer to discuss potential locations and support their planning.

This example is reproduced from a supplied contour map. Source elevation labels are retained for illustration; units, vertical reference, and accuracy must be confirmed before measurement or design use.

A closer look

See a site from a different angle.

Explore two examples of photogrammetry-based site documentation. Rotate the view and zoom in to see the shape and visible features of each site.

Examples use neutral labels and local model coordinates. These visual demonstrations are not boundary surveys or measurement tools.

Common questions

Good information makes better decisions.

A few quick answers before we discuss your project.

Is this a land survey?

No. We document visible features and referenced observations. Our maps do not establish legal property boundaries or replace a licensed land survey.

What will I receive, and how do I open it?

Property-feature maps include a finished map, underlying data, and Google Earth-compatible KML/KMZ files you can open in Google Earth. Your agreed job may include organized imagery or a downloadable 3D model with a phone-friendly viewing link. Included formats, software compatibility, link access, and availability periods are agreed in your quote.

Where do you work?

We serve Tifton and South Georgia. Other locations are considered individually.

What affects the price?

Property size, site access, the detail requested, and the deliverables affect your quote. We discuss the scope with you before pricing the work.

How long will my project take?

Timing is agreed for each job and depends on weather, site access, and processing needs. We discuss the expected schedule when defining your project.

Use of project documentation

Our maps and models document visible site conditions for reference and planning. They are not a land survey and do not establish legal boundaries or certified elevations. Please consult a licensed surveyor or engineer before construction, excavation, or legal decisions.
