SITE ANALYSIS + SURVEYING

One landscape.
A precise starting point.

Sweetfern uses professional Emlid GNSS/RTK technology to collect highly accurate, georeferenced site information that integrates with CAD and GIS-based planning and design.

Site documentation can include grades, elevations, topography, structures, roads, drives, paths, walls, significant trees, vegetation, drainage, streams, ponds, professionally delineated wetlands, utilities, and project-specific observations.

This shared site record supports close collaboration with other professionals. Native restoration specialists can pinpoint and track species populations, while arborists can identify individual trees for assessment or treatment. As-built records establish monitoring locations that can be revisited for long-term maintenance.

Georeferenced observations also support site-specific hydrological assessments with engineers. A common location reference connects field observations, CAD, and GIS across platforms, keeping communication precise as design, implementation, and stewardship progress.

Where legally required, boundary, engineering, wetland, or other regulated surveying and delineation is performed by the appropriate licensed or qualified professional.
