you've got plenty of suggestions about finding/hiring a surveyor. one additional bit of advice if you live in town, or have neighbors that are close enough that you have to worry about them moving your stakes: immediately after the surveyor is done, make sure that you measure from an existing permanent something (ie-concrete driveway, house foundation, water shut-off, etc) from 2 directions to the survey stake, and use precise measurements. put these measurements in a safe place. survey stakes are set a little below ground level so they are not in danger of being disturbed by mowers, bare toes. in a short time, the survey stakes are covered with dirt, gravel, sod, whatever. If you need to locate these stakes in the future, just dig out the tape measure and use a spade to uncover them. as far as what to do about dishonest neighbors, every location seems to have a few, and they all require a different treatment. i'm in rural iowa and don't have to worry about neighbors in my yard. i'm surrounded by 320 acres and the survey stakes are in the fencerows and middle of the roads. as far as using concrete to mark the stakes, this is an excellent solution, but make sure that you dig the hole so that it is completely on your side of the property line. don't put the hole centered on the survey stake. if you do, it is technically half on the adjoining property owner's land, and he can pull it out, dig it up, or whatever he wants, and you can't do anything about it.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
