For residential lots, square wooden pegs are used with a plate fixed on top with the adjoining lot numbers shown.

A re-peg survey is the reestablishment of those original pegs that the owner can confirm the true location of the property boundaries. Re-pegs are often required for the renewing of fences or the construction of buildings near boundaries.
