Land surveying company put marks on where our property is but there is a metal pole which neighbor says is it.

So we have planted bushes along our property line, maybe about a foot back, but there is the metal pole, around an inch in diameter, sticking about a half a foot out of the ground which neighbor says is his property line.





Neighbor is fine with the plantings but should I move them in case they sell? Should I talk to our surveying company again?





Thanks!

Yes, if it's a question of where your neighbor thinks the determined property marker should be located. Had he done this through licsensed surveyor you may receive a full disclosure of their findings, with your neighbors consent, and possibly a financial contribution to your neighbor for offsetting the cost of a surveyor. Most states have a loophole law that says, it is the property owners responsibility to determine the properties boundary. Surveyors don't come cheap either!
Reply:No one will probably complain. The surevey is gospel; If you are really worried about it in the future, move them to your property
Reply:I would talk to the surveying company and check the old survey.
