Terracore, the last quote I got was a couple of years ago and it was $1.75/ft. Makes your quote of $1/ft. sound like a good deal, and Kalakoa got an even better deal. I would bet that neither of those prices are still available, perhaps not even the one I got.
Your situation sounds similar to what I had many years ago. I bought the lot next door and wanted to flag the far boundary. I acquired a cheapie transit level (not digital, the old bubble level and needle/dial kind) and had a friend help me. Thick vegetation and plenty of ups and downs. Had to reset the transit at least a half dozen times.
When I got to the back I went off the existing back pins from the other properties. I found the pin 2" off from where my lines intersected.
This was my first time using a transit level so I was taking my time and being meticulous about my points and plumbs. There might have also been a substantial amount of dumb luck involved. But the point is that it is doable as a DIY project for someone such as yourself. The hardest part is the physical labor involved in clearing the line. My friend and I took turns with the clearing and the boring part (looking through the transit and yelling RIGHT!!!, NOW LEFT!!!, ETC.)
I think we got it done in one day.
