Updated July 2026 · Serving Richfield & all of Sevier County
Richfield sits at the center of Sevier County, where I-70 meets US-89 and the Sevier River threads a farming valley between the Pahvant Range and the Fishlake plateaus. Surveying here means working across three very different kinds of land in a single county — platted lots inside the city, irrigated agricultural parcels described by old metes-and-bounds calls, and public-land sections that tie back to the original government survey. Ludlow Engineering has worked that mix of central-Utah terrain and records since 1975. Whether you need a boundary line pinned before you build, an ALTA survey for a commercial closing, or a subdivision platted for the county, we can help. Call (435) 623-0897 or request a quote.
Tell us the property address or Sevier County parcel number and what’s driving the survey — a purchase, a build, a boundary question, a lender requirement. We can usually pull the recorded plat or deed from the parcel number and give you a fixed-fee quote. Send your details →
Surveying Services in Richfield & Sevier County
Every service below is performed by our in-house licensed surveyors and engineers — no subcontracting, which keeps the boundary work and the engineering that depends on it under one roof.
Boundary Surveys
Property-corner retracement and legal boundary determination for lots, farms, and rural parcels — the foundation for building, fencing, and resolving line questions with a neighbor.
ALTA Surveys
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys for commercial purchases and refinances along the Richfield corridor, coordinated with your title company and lender.
Topographic Surveys
Contour and feature mapping for site design, drainage, and grading — essential where the valley floor, benches, and washes create real elevation change.
Subdivision & Platting
Subdivision layout, platting, and construction staking that meet Sevier County and municipal requirements, from a few lots to larger developments.
Civil Engineering
Grading, storm drain, stormwater, floodplain, and on-site water and sewer design — the site engineering behind a buildable lot.
Foundation Inspections
Engineer-stamped manufactured-home foundation reports for FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional loans across Sevier County.
Our Sevier County Service Area
From Richfield we cover the whole Sevier River valley and the surrounding county. The map below shows the towns we routinely serve; Richfield sits at the hub.
Why Local Knowledge Matters in Sevier County
A survey is only as good as the surveyor’s read of the local records and the ground. Sevier County has a few characteristics that reward a firm that already knows the area:
Records at the Sevier County Recorder
Deeds, plats, and surveys for the county are recorded in Richfield. We work from the recorded record, not just the deed you were handed, so the boundary we set matches what’s actually on file.
Irrigation & the Sevier River valley
Much of the valley is irrigated farmland with ditch rights-of-way, canals, and water features that interact with property lines. These need to be identified and shown correctly — they are a common source of boundary and easement questions.
Public-land section corners
Sevier County borders Fishlake National Forest and extensive BLM land. Rural retracement often depends on recovering original Public Land Survey System (PLSS) corners — finding and honoring the right monument is the difference between a defensible line and a dispute.
Old metes-and-bounds descriptions
Many agricultural parcels are still described by old metes-and-bounds calls that reference features that have moved or vanished. Reconciling those with modern measurement is exactly the retracement work we do.
Modern equipment measures precisely, but a precise measurement of the wrong corner is still the wrong line. We retrace boundaries using the applicable legal principles and the monuments and evidence found in the field and the record — not just GPS coordinates.
How a Richfield Survey Works
Tell us the parcel and the purpose
Address or Sevier County parcel number, plus what’s driving the survey. We pull the recorded record and give you a fixed-fee quote.
Records research
We gather recorded deeds, plats, adjoining parcels, and prior surveys, and identify the controlling monuments and calls.
Field work
Our crew locates corners, improvements, and features on the ground — and recovers PLSS corners on rural parcels.
Analysis & drafting
We reconcile the field evidence with the record, resolve the boundary, and prepare the plat or map.
Stamped delivery
A licensed Professional Land Surveyor signs and stamps the final survey, and we record it with the county when the work calls for it.

Richfield Surveying FAQ
Do you actually cover Richfield, or just quote from afar?
We cover it. Our office is in Nephi, about an hour north up I-15, and central Utah has been our core service area since 1975. Sevier County work is routine for us, not an outlier.
How much does a boundary survey cost in Richfield?
A residential boundary survey typically runs $1,000–$2,500; rural and agricultural parcels run higher because of size, terrain, and records research. We quote every job fixed-fee in writing. See our cost guide.
Can you survey rural and agricultural parcels in the valley?
Yes — that’s much of what central-Utah surveying is. Rural parcels often involve old metes-and-bounds descriptions, ditch and canal easements, and PLSS corner recovery near public land. Reconciling those with modern measurement is exactly our retracement work.
Do you handle commercial ALTA surveys in Richfield?
Yes. We perform ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys for commercial purchases and refinances and coordinate directly with your title company and lender. See our ALTA survey page.
Where are Sevier County property records kept?
Deeds, plats, and surveys are recorded with the Sevier County Recorder in Richfield. We pull the recorded record as part of every survey so the boundary matches what’s actually on file, not just the description on your deed.
How soon can you get out to the property?
It depends on the season and the current schedule, but tell us your deadline and we’ll work toward it. Grouping several Sevier County jobs into one trip can also help with scheduling and travel cost.
