Seasonal Surveying: How Weather Affects Fieldwork & Deadlines

Did you know the time of year you schedule a survey can impact turnaround time and field results?

In Kentucky and Tennessee, spring rains, summer vegetation, fall clarity, and winter access each bring pros and cons. At AJC, we help clients plan accordingly.

• Spring: Great for construction layout—but soggy conditions can limit access.

• Summer: Prime time for volume, but overgrown brush can block sight lines.

• Fall: Ideal balance of stable weather, dry conditions, and visibility.

• Winter: Good for wooded parcels, but ice and snow slow fieldwork.

We encourage clients to plan ahead—especially for large projects, ALTA surveys, and FEMA certifications.
