Georgia Land Surveying of Atlanta is a surveyor in Atlanta, GA. The firm is a family-owned land surveying and remote sensing company established in 1955, specializing in commercial land surveying, expert witness consulting, and aerial mapping. It serves clients across the entire state of Georgia from its Atlanta office, handling everything from single residential lots to statewide aerial mapping projects. The company focuses on complex boundary, mapping, and measurement problems, providing solutions for difficult site conditions where standard methods may fail.

Led by Josh Lewis IV, a licensed surveyor, testifying expert witness, and helicopter pilot, the firm has spanned three generations of surveyors. Lewis flies the firm's own aerial mapping missions using a Robinson R66 helicopter and a drone fleet. The company offers airborne LiDAR and mapping services with survey-grade control for corridors and large sites, along with mobile and terrestrial scanning for roadway corridors, campuses, and confined environments. It also provides aerial photography and GIS services, including orthophotos and photogrammetry, organized for use by engineers, architects, contractors, and agencies. For commercial clients, the firm conducts ALTA surveys, boundary retracement, and due-diligence surveys. In the residential sector, it offers boundary surveys with quotes typically provided within 24 hours. The firm also provides expert witness and forensic testifying services for property disputes, adverse possession, and accident reconstruction.

The company maintains the largest collection of surveys and land records in Georgia, compiled over more than 70 years of continuous practice. In many metro Atlanta counties, these records are more extensive than those held by the Clerk of Court. The firm is routinely asked to provide missing files or illegible documents to the county and court system. This archive allows the company to retrace old boundaries with conflicting legal descriptions and deliver definitive answers. The firm’s approach combines old-school research with modern technology, evolving tools from steel tape and transit to current geospatial solutions.
