    I remember a local guy in my area did the same thing, was clearing un marked land..... the land owner next to where he was working ended up taking him to court because he took out a bunch of trees that were not on that property , it cost him $200. per tree, and he took out several hundred....yikes!....you did the right thing bud....way to keep your eyes open 😁

    I agree 100 percent with what you did. It's not worth taking the risk of getting over onto someone else's property. I'm pretty sure they can hold you liable if you take down their trees. I've had people try and persuade me to dig on their property without calling in for a utility location. Stuff like that can get expensive if you screw up. You did the right thing. Glad to see you back, be safe.

    I work w/ land and land owners on a daily basis and though I do like Landglide, I only use it to get a rough idea of land shape/size and who owns it. I'd never trust any of the apps for accurate land borders. Hell I've seen way to many county websites that have inaccurate mapping. Good call to demand better marking.
    Also, don't worry if you think content will be boring, if it is people will just skip ahead. Letsdig18 has made a lot of money posting videos that are just his daily excavator work. People will watch.

  • @WeGoOutdoors
    @WeGoOutdoors 8 місяців тому +2

    You made the right call. Those apps are a great tool, but they are not a land survey. We see errors in them pretty regularly. Unfortunately a lot of ppl aren’t neighborly these days. And most people don’t like change. We see this all the time with raw land. Having a good survey plat and lines / corners marked is always the best route to go. Hope all is well buddy long time no talk.

    The property owner could sell dirt from one hill and pay for the whole piece of property and that wouldn’t hurt the value of the property! And that’s not even the whole hill of building pad material! Just the trail you came in on, cut the material off of that would improve the property and make some money for the cost of the property! Some people don’t know when they have a gold mine, dirt is expensive these days! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
