Hi, a survey will be done on one of my properties.
They will put wood stakes on the 4 corners. What is a good alternative
to put there so that if the stick is removed I will know the border.
Someone mentioned buying a metal pipe and digging a hole with cement
etc.
Any other good suggestions?

8 foot electrical galvanized ground rod works well

With a metal rod driven into the ground you can find it later with a
metal detector - one example :-)

Posthole fulla cement, with a thick stainless steel rod at the exact corner.
If you wanna get fancy, surveying supply places sell purpose-made pins to
use for benchmarks. Let the surveyer use his wood sticks, but put crossed
strings from 4 other sticks over the center before you pull it out and
replace with a permanent monument.
Most people just use a big iron rod, something thick enough to take several
decades to rust away. As long as you and one nearby neighbor have one good
trustworthy corner marker each, they can always work backward from those.
(yeah, I know they use GPS now, but they need to keep the knowledge alive in
case that system goes away.)

Typically a metal rod a couple feet long or longer is driven and the
coordinates marked/stamped on the end. A metal detector is then
useful in locating it later on...
Some do form little (say 4-6" square) little concrete markers but
they're easy to lose unless they stick up quite some distance and not
so easy to find...
