HomeServicesBoundary Dispute Surveys › Lake Forest, IL

Lake Forest is defined by its large wooded estates, ravines, and historic curvilinear street plan, where corner monuments sit far apart and are often buried in mature landscaping. On estate parcels like these, a wall, hedge, or fence can hold a line the record does not confirm. Only a retracement to the recorded plat and surviving monuments can reestablish where those corners belong.

What a boundary dispute survey provides

A boundary dispute survey is a careful retracement of your property lines, backed by research of deeds, prior surveys and physical evidence. It gives you — and, if needed, your attorney — a defensible determination of where the true boundary lies.

Lake Forest & Lake County specifics

Lake Forest, with roughly 19,367 residents, spans Moraine Township (also Shields and West Deerfield) in Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. Deeds, plats, and prior surveys for the city are filed with the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office, and that record anchors every boundary retracement. The city’s expansive estate lots, ravines, and winding streets make monuments hard to recover and boundary questions especially likely. Pi Surveying reestablishes the estate corners and marks the true line so a wall or hedge question is settled from the record.

What Lake Forest-area clients say

Frequently asked questions

Estate parcels have corner monuments set far apart and often hidden by mature landscaping and ravines, so walls and hedges can drift from the recorded line. A retracement reestablishes the corners.

The Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office in Waukegan, the Lake County seat, records the deeds and plats used to retrace Lake Forest boundaries.

A licensed Illinois surveyor marks the true line on the ground and documents the deed research and physical evidence, which homeowners and attorneys rely on to resolve the dispute.
