Land Surveying and Civil Engineering, Under One Roof

Doss Land Surveying, LLC provides licensed surveying and PE-stamped engineering for landowners, developers, and contractors across Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky - based in Lafayette, TN.

Survey the Land. Engineer the Site. One Team.

Most surveying firms stop at the property line. We don't. Doss Land Surveying pairs licensed land surveying with in-house professional engineering - site civil design and TDOT entrance/access permitting - so your project moves from boundary to buildable without changing firms. Jacob Doss, our licensed surveyor, and Alex Hill, PE, lead these two sides of the business together.
