About Us

Licensed, Insured, and Complient in Alabama and Mississippi

The Woodlands Group is a professional land surveying and mapping firm based in Fairhope, Alabama. Founded by Justin Palmer [in YEAR], the company was built on a straightforward idea: deliver precise, dependable survey work and treat every client’s project like it matters — because it does.

With over 30 years of combined experience and a library of more than 4,000 previously-surveyed sections across Alabama and Mississippi, our team has the depth of knowledge to handle projects efficiently and accurately. Whether you’re a homeowner who needs a boundary survey, a developer breaking ground on a new subdivision, or an engineer who needs reliable topographic data, we bring the same level of care and precision to every job.

What Sets Us Apart

We invest in the tools and technology that allow us to work smarter and deliver better results. Our crews use state-of-the-art surveying equipment alongside UAS (drone) technology to capture comprehensive site data — from initial proposal through post-construction. That combination of modern technology and old-school field expertise means fewer surprises, faster turnaround, and results you can build on with confidence.

We are proudly licensed in the states of Alabama and Mississippi.

Why Work With Us

  • Experience That Counts: 30+ years of combined field experience and 4,000+ previously-surveyed sections give us a head start on virtually any project in our service area.
  • Technology-Driven: From robotic total stations to drone-captured aerial data, we use the right tools to get accurate results on the first pass.
  • Full-Service Support: We handle the entire data collection process from proposal to post-construction, so you have a single point of contact from start to finish.
  • Local Knowledge: Based in Fairhope and working throughout Alabama and Mississippi, we know the terrain, the municipalities, and the people.
