Locally owned and operated in Northern California, Cardinal Land Surveying provides professional surveying services for residential, commercial, agricultural, and municipal projects throughout the region. By combining extensive field experience with modern surveying technology, we deliver reliable, efficient, and tailored solutions designed to meet the unique needs of each client and project.

The firm is led by David Brent, PLS, who brings nearly two decades of professional experience and a strong understanding of state and local regulations, development processes, and project coordination.
