Are Surveys necessary?
We did not get a boundary survey (just the useless spot survey required by the lender), and the neighbors in our neighborhood generally agree on where the property lines are. Of course, the friendly neighbors could move, and if there is later a disagreement as to the location of the boundary lines, I don't want to have to relocate any part of my system. My question is: If you're using 180 degree spray heads or rotors, to what degree will some overspray water "behind" the head? In other works, if I place my lines and heads within, say a foot of the supposed boundary line, will the grass behind the heads get any water at all? Or is it important to literally cover every square inch? I understand the need for head to head coverage - I'm just trying to see how close the property line I need to be.
Do most property owners obtain a survey, or do they guess? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
