OUR SERVICES

aerial surveying

At Lea & Braze Engineering, we use drones to make high-quality mappings of your acreage. The state-of-the-art drone technology is equipped with high-resolution sensors that take images over the land. Our team processes this imagery using photogrammetry techniques to create precise 2D maps and 3D models.

topographic mapping

We use high-accuracy topographic mapping to help winery and ranch owners optimize property layout. With advanced drone technology, GPS, and physical ground surveying, we create comprehensive elevation maps that show natural slopes and drainage patterns. Our surveys help whether you’re establishing a new vineyard, enhancing irrigation, or managing large grazing areas.

LOT LEGALITY

Our boundary experts specialize in holistic title review of large properties to ensure compliance with the Subdivision Map Act. We have prepared countless certificates of compliance. This includes delineating the property boundaries for any potential encroachments and filing the paperwork and maps needed for properties to transact.

EASEMENT CREATION

Our licensed land surveyors assist in the creation and vacation of easements, providing the necessary documentation to move your project forward. For over 40 years, we’ve worked closely with the local jurisdiction, utility companies, and private individuals to ensure our projects are successful.

ALTA SURVEYS

American Land Title Association (ALTA) surveys are used in real estate transactions to clearly display property boundaries, easements, and any potential encroachments. They help identify issues that could affect property improvements or involve crossing property or easement lines. Lea & Braze Engineering consistently delivers ALTAs with a level of quality and detail that exceeds the standard minimum requirements.

BOUNDARY SURVEYING

Accurate boundary surveys are essential for ensuring compliance with zoning, setbacks, and code requirements. Our boundary surveys go beyond simply retracing existing records; they involve thorough research, identification of monumentation from multiple sources, and professional analysis. We pride ourselves on delivering precise, fully resolved boundary surveys that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.

Our team works hand-in-hand with growers, landowners, and operators to deliver practical, sustainable civil engineering solutions that respect the land’s history and support its future. Whether you’re improving infrastructure, planning new development, or protecting your water resources, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.
