I don’t post much on this page, honestly because word of mouth is the main source of our business and so much better than hearing me drone on. AND the owner (my husband), isnt a social media guy he would rather talk in person - which is great for his client relations 🤣! BUT, the night sky had me coming here for the relevance. Tonight’s sky is on fire from our home - in NORTH TEXAS!! To the visible eye it is a red haze (even only 7 miles from our small town) but with the assistance of night mode - it’s a light show like no other!

But not just any light show - what we’re seeing is a geomagnetic storm strong enough to push the northern lights way beyond their usual polar zone. We all probably know it happens near the poles (Alaska, Antarctica, even Northern US) often and with small storms. This space storm is so large most of the US can see it!!!

Why does that even get on the radar of a land surveyor? Because that same storm can impact the very systems we rely on to give you the accuracy to an absurd level (I’m talking numbers most of us haven’t even heard of! Surveyors use precision that borders on ridiculous. We measure in tenths of a foot (0.1 ft = 1.2 inches). Modern GPS technology lets us pinpoint a location to within that tenth (or 1.2” for the non-surveyor)- all from signals bouncing between us and satellites in orbit in SPACE!!!

When space weather flares up, it can technically nudge those signals. Usually, it’s nothing dramatic - especially this far south - but it’s a fascinating reminder that our ‘down-to-earth’ work is still connected to what’s happening up above. At Apex, we’re even so trained that we can accurately pin point - with expertise and mathematics - the possible anomalies!

Science is wild - and it’s behind a lot of what we do. However, when surveying started people were doing this in their brains… with mathematics, brain power, and a lot of patience. And a nifty tool, the theodolite is the great grandfather to GPS, and it’s an amazing historical technology that we revere not only the invention, but the men and women who translated its very rudimentary data in their heads to be so widely accurate (for the time)!

History, science, and surveying lesson complete - we’re cross curricular over here!

Our 6 acre pasture at the office needs cut. If you bale it, you can have the hay for free.

We had the amazing opportunity in 2021 to survey this beautiful ranch in New Mexico!

While Apex Land Surveying has our primary home in Azle, we also have TWO more locations! We have an office in both Midland AND Lubbock. Both towns have some deep connection to our owner, Chris and we are so happy we can operate from both locations.

Chris grew up and graduated high school in Midland, Texas and then attended college in Lubbock. Chris also got one of his first survey jobs at the former surveying company we stand in front of in the picture.

In late 2021, we had the great honor of purchasing the former business from his mentor as he retired that allowed us to expand Apex Land Surveying more heavily into the Midland/West Texas region. We have a great crew operating our offices there!

A little personal story to Apex Land Surveying. Meet Chris & Cadence. Chris is the owner and founder of Apex Land Surveying. He started surveying shortly after the birth of the "little one" standing next to him. He started with an entry level position simply trying to keep food on the table and a roof over their head as a young father. Fast forward, through SIXTEEN years of hard work, dedication, and a genuine passion for the history of our land. He is one of the most knowledgable in the industry. His goal isn't to just provide a service, but to ensure that EVERY client, or person he speaks with, leaves knowing they were taken care of. The goal has never been the bottom dollar, but rather, ensuring his legacy was being made and history being carefully tended to and honored. We are thankful to say that 16 years later, his first born is anxiously making her debut in the field. She spent her first summer trekking through hot and humid Texas fields as an instrument man/rodman on one of our North Texas field crews. She now keeps her own field books for fun, and looks forward to a potential future in the survey industry. When you choose Apex Land Surveying, you aren't only choosing a world-class service and product backed with an accumulated 100 years of industry experience, you are choosing a company that was built on the back of a man who only has one goal - to leave a legacy on this world for being an all around good guy, to everyone.
