About Us
Our Story
Meadowland Surveying, Inc., is committed to the same outstanding values on which it was founded 75 years ago. Our history of excellence began in 1946 with a sharp, dedicated surveyor named Carl J. Nedberg. “Pledged to accurate, dependable service,” as his slogan stated, Carl developed a reputable, flourishing business.
Successive company owners Donald D. Busker (1969) and Roy A. Smith (1981) continued to build upon Carl’s high standards. Few clients will ever forget Roy’s warm and trustworthy personality, his unbiased authority on survey matters across the county, and his unique ability to explain complex survey details in terms that any layman could understand.
Desiring to carry on this reputation for hard work, accuracy, and professionalism, Scott R. Walz purchased Roy A. Smith and Associates in 2001 and renamed it Meadowland Surveying, Inc. As president of Meadowland Surveying, Inc., Scott oversees all survey projects with an eye for precision and reliability, always striving to build trust with clients as well as with local businesses and government officials.

“Over the past 30 years we have worked with several survey companies. Meadowland Surveying, Inc. clearly stands out as #1. As our projects evolved, they were instep with us... never missing a beat. Professional, courteous, prompt, clear communication and excellent results.”
"We worked with Meadowland to complete a surveying project for us on a piece of land that has been owned by my parents for over 40 years. There was a clear scope and timeline of the project from beginning to end. The knowledgeable field crew met my dad on site to best determine the split line location of the property so we could move forward with our construction project. Everyone was very professional and easy to work with. We would highly recommend them to anyone who needs land surveying work done. We would definitely use their services again in the future."
