Case Study: Lawfield Land Leveling achieves consistent vertical accuracy and greater efficiency with Trimble’s VerticalPoint RTK system

Land Leveling Business Experiences Greater Efficiency with Trimble’s VerticalPoint RTK System

Lawfield Land Leveling, owned by Jarrett Lawfield and based in Catron, Missouri, is a six-person custom land leveling business serving farmers in the boot heel area with over 18 years’ experience. The company struggled with inconsistent vertical GPS accuracy—often losing 5–6 hours a day in summer—causing delays, extra surveying checks, and inefficient bulk hauling and finish passes that reduced profitability.

Lawfield adopted Trimble’s VerticalPoint RTK system, which greatly improves vertical accuracy and stability over standard RTK, resolving the GPS inaccuracy issues. The system delivered repeatable elevations from morning to evening, reduced rework, eliminated wait times for accurate readings, sped project completion, and let Lawfield move to the next job faster while ensuring correct results for farmers.
