Apparatus and methods are described for marking stakes and carriers. Marking stakes have a body and tab. The body's proximal end and the tab can be tilted out of a plane containing the remainder of the body so that apertures on the body and the tab register with one another and the body is tensioned substantially upright. The body's length is sufficient so that when the proximal end is fastened to a mounting surface the distal end is visible. The body may be flexible, avoiding dislodged, broken, bent, or moved stakes and preserving lines, curves, grades, offsets, cuts, and fills. The stake can remain flat when not in use, overcoming the problem of handling and transporting bulky stakes. Marking stake carriers carry lengthy stakes and fasteners and fasten to surveying rods with various diameters, providing a simple and organized method to handle and transport marking equipment.
