Services
Aerial LiDAR
Our aerial LiDAR services capture detailed 3D terrain data for corridors up to several miles long or areas exceeding one square mile per day. We produce contour maps, digital elevation models, and CAD files while maintaining strict accuracy checks against ground control points. This technology supports infrastructure planning, flood risk analysis, and volumetric calculations for quarries and construction sites.
Terrestrial Scanning
Using high-resolution terrestrial scanners, we collect millions of data points to create precise 3D models of structures and landscapes. This method reduces site revisit needs and provides engineers with comprehensive datasets for renovations, as-built documentation, and complex construction projects. Our processing team extracts coordinate information from point clouds to support architectural and engineering designs.
Flood Plain Certificates
We provide FEMA-compliant flood elevation certificates to determine insurance requirements for properties in designated flood zones. Our licensed surveyors verify building elevations against FEMA maps and assist with Letter of Map Amendment applications when structures qualify for flood zone exemption. This service helps property owners reduce unnecessary flood insurance costs.
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys establish legal property lines for residential and commercial properties using historical records and field measurements. We identify easements, right-of-ways, and encroachments to resolve disputes and support land transactions. While currently prioritizing commercial work, we maintain expertise in residential boundary determination for fence installations and property improvements.
Transmission Line Surveys
We support telecom and power transmission projects with corridor mapping, right-of-way surveys, and as-built documentation. Our team creates 1A/2C certification letters for cell tower locations and uses LiDAR technology to measure tower heights and line clearances. These surveys ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and support infrastructure maintenance planning.

Kevin with Layton Surveys performed a thorough survey on my property. He was able to locate the location of the structures as well as the boundary lines. His price was also very reasonable!

Due to a minor communication breakdown I wasn't able to be onsite for the survey which was what I was wanting. However Kevin's work was spot on and easy to follow. Plenty of markings made locating corners of the property within the trees much easier. Just what I needed in order to facilitate a retaining wall install. My neighbors mentioned you were very friendly and attentive to detail. And I trust them so I will humbly agree! I can finally finish up the yard projects without worrying who's yard I'm in. Thanks again.

Kevin did an amazing job! Setting up an appointment was very easy and he's always in contact with you; Helped survey our land at a good price compared to other companies and helped solve some issues we had no clue about until we contacted Layton Surveys!

This summer I plan on doing some improvements that require me to have a survey to submit to the city, so I called Layton Surveys and spoke with Kevin. I was impressed with the quick response I received. Within 2 days Kevin was at our house. When he finished he informed me that the previous owners had placed the existing fence 7 1/2 feet inside the property line. Needless to say I was surprised. Now I'm working on moving the fence so that it is on our property line. I highly recommend Kevin and Layton Surveys for any surveying work you need done. In addition to the prompt friendly service their prices are extremely reasonable.

Kevin was great to work with, and performed our survey at a high quality, in a timely manner, and at a reasonable price. He even moved some things around to make sure he could get our survey done prior to a big snowstorm. Highly recommend.

I have never written an online review before because I haven't been so impressed by someone's work to feel the need to, but if there is one person that deserves it, it's Kevin. From beginning to end he was above and beyond one of the best contractors I have worked with. He is diligent, meticulous, punctual, accurate, and incredibly helpful-made everything easy for us. Being in the real estate industry I can't tell you what a relief it is to receive such great service- because I don't commonly find customer service like Kevin's! Thank you!

Layton Surveys did their homework locating section corners and reviewing county records before arriving at the property. This made the on site survey go quickly. As an engineer, I was impressed with the professional quality of the survey drawings submitted to the county.

Kevin's service and price were phenomenal. Because of the old fashion record keeping system in my county he had to drive up to Brigham City to get property records. This forced him to make two more trips than he had planned to complete our survey. He did this without complaint and for his original price. He clearly marked all corners and provided me with a record of survey detailing the relationship of my property with my neighbors. I would highly recommend using Layton Surveys!

Kevin did a great job. I border land owned by UTA and they were giving me a lot of grief. (They wanted me to move my property line back 7 feet.) The City of Clearfield said the only way to resolve it 100% was to have a professional survey. That was starting to look like$1,250.00. I spoke with Kevin on the phone and explained my situation. He was out walking the trail behind my house a day ahead of schedule and by the time of our appointment he was placing the "Markers".

I saved quite a bit of cash and really had a good feeling about him in general. He grew up around here and is a great person. I can now have a fence, Thanks! If you need a survey this is who I would call again, hands down. I am very happy with prompt professional service.

Kevin was awesome! We needed a land survey before building a fence for our backyard. We called and around and Kevin had the best prices and did a fantastic job. Our neighborhood is old, so the corner markers were difficult to find. Kevin had to chip up cement and dig in dirt to finally find them. He didn't charge us for extra hourly work or anything. He is very responsive both email and phone, and is a very friendly. I would highly recommend Layton Surveys for your surveying.

Kevin was wonderful. He helped solve a property issue between me and my neighbor. He explained everything and answered all our questions. He was very professional and did a lot of research to verify the existing lines were correct. He also went above and beyond what he was brought out to do in spending extra time with us so we understood things. I feel that Kevin has great integrity and I have a lot of trust in his honesty. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Becky

Kevin is by far one of the most professional people I have ever had the pleasure of working with; he recently did a survey and a boundary line adjustment at my property. He was very quick to respond to all my questions and concerns throughout the process. Knowing that he will put forth maximum effort as well as provide you with the highest quality work, I would recommend him and his services to all that I know. Thank you so much for all that you have done!

I called Kevin last week after having many problems getting a boundary line changed. What a wonderful guy to work with! After having several other surveyors tell me they were too busy or several weeks out, Kevin went out of his way to help us immediately with our problem. He is very professional and very nice to work with. He was the only person I called that sacrificed his evening after work to help us with our problem.

Thanks Kevin for helping us. For anyone wanting a honest guy for your project and someone who cares, call Kevin for any of your needs. I recommend him very highly. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

Kevin did a survey of my neighbors property today that I had the opportunity to observe to some extent. I was not even his client and I am so impressed with his work and his ethics! I feel he showed up with unbiased fact and was open in sharing his findings with "both sides of the fence." What a kind, meticulous individual! Thank you!
