Land surveying is one of the oldest occupations in the world, dating back thousands of years. The earliest land surveys were conducted almost 3,000 years ago in Egypt when surveyors partitioned the rich land surrounding the Nile River and had to re-mark it when the Nile River overflowed every year.
Land surveyors also played a huge role in the early stages of Australia’s settlement. Many prominent explorers, such as Burke, came from a surveying background. In those days, surveyors relied on antiquated equipment such as steel bands, which made it hard for them to document their readings and necessitated the use of slide rulers.
Nowadays, surveying is still an equally important role in all areas where construction takes place but it has developed significantly. The supplies used are hardly recognisable to what they were back then in order to keep up with advanced infrastructures, such as the roads of today. To keep up with rapidly moving times, surveyors need to have the most up-to-date equipment that can help them perform their roles efficiently.
The Pegman has its finger on the pulse of modern techniques and aims to provide innovative equipment for surveyors so that their role is kept as straightforward as it can be. Whether this is with our completely painted pegs or brightly coloured flagging tape, our supplies can help your job be more thorough and safe.
The role of land surveyors, as well as the equipment they use, has evolved significantly since the Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. The survey technology we now have access to is revolutionising the way we operate, resolving problems and simplifying all surveying procedures. Without proper surveying supplies, accurate data can’t be gathered and success can’t be achieved on civil engineering and construction projects.
Surveyors in Port Stephens and throughout Australia carry out an incredibly vital job in evaluating land before construction can take place. This ensures that boundaries and measurements are accurate and that installations can be safely put in place. From judging elevation, gradient and soil depth to giving advice to engineers and developers, a construction job would not be accurate without a surveyor.
But, to do all of these essential tasks, a surveyor needs the correct equipment and tools. This is where The Pegman comes in. We only stock the highest quality supplies that are optimised to assist professional surveyors to do their job effectively. For all surveyors based in Port Stephens and beyond, we aim to be a one-stop shop for all requirements so that they can quickly get to work, knowing all of their supplies can be found in one convenient place.

Survey pegs are square-shaped stakes with a tapered end, so they can be secured in the desired position. Manufacturers create survey pegs using wood, plastic and sometimes metal. While plastic pegs have been tried in Australia, most surveyors use wooden pegs that are painted white. This is because, they are easier to see than natural wood tones, and the surveyor’s writing shows up more clearly.
Our survey pegs are made from Australian hardwood. Dumpy, indicator and boundary pegs are available.
Land surveying, sometimes called construction surveying or ‘laying out’, is the process of indicating or marking a precise location/position on a site (normally a construction site or residential development). Before construction, a qualified surveyor will conduct a survey to establish boundaries and ascertain an accurate measurement of the site. This survey can include determining the soil levels, foundation depth, elevation and gradient. Once the surveyor has established the relevant points, they’ll use survey pegs to indicate these boundaries and positions within a specific site or location.
Surveyors often advise the engineers, architects and developers. They play a vital role in land development—from the planning and design stage through to road, utilities and landscape construction. Surveyors work on a variety of projects in the mining, construction and subdivision sectors.
We do our best to ensure we don’t run out of stock, updating our inventory regularly to ensure rapid shipments and next-day delivery. You can view our surveying stock online or visit us in person at our Port Stephens store.

Residential borders are marked using survey pegs, which help to designate points and locations on a property. They’re often constructed of wood and are available in a variety of sizes and colours.
There are three types of survey pegs: indicator pegs, boundary pegs and dumpy pegs. Indicator pegs are the most common and usually protrude out of the ground. Boundary pegs, meanwhile, are used to mark new boundaries created as part of a subdivision, while dumpy pegs are used to determine the accurate position for installing amenities and assets.
At The Pegman, our pegs have square tips so you can hammer them in with ease. What’s more, unlike many other survey pegs, we paint the entire peg white, not just the top.
Our boundary pegs measure 70mm x 45mm or 75m x 75mm wide and are available in several lengths from 250mm to 400mm. Our indicator pegs come in 45mm x 15mm wide stakes in various lengths from 600 to 900mm, or 42mm x 22mm wide stakes in lengths up to 1.2m. Finally, our dumpy pegs measure 50mm x 50mm wide and are available in three sizes ranging from 150mm to 300mm.
