Help with measuring online

Search a US address, trace an outdoor area or line on the satellite map, and get square footage, perimeter, or distance for planning.

Search the address, choose Freeform, and place at least three points around the grass edge. Select the Finish drawing checkmark. Measure separated lawn sections individually, leaving buildings, pavement, and beds outside them.

Use Freeform for curved or irregular areas, Rectangle for simple box-shaped sections, and Distance for a wall, border, fence, or other line. Distance returns length and does not add to the area total.

Include only the grass used for the job. Leave out the house, driveway, walks, patio, pool, and planting beds, and measure a repair area separately when the project does not cover the full lawn.

Yes. Select the measurement, choose Edit, and move its points. You can also add points to an area where the boundary needs another turn.

Area is the space inside a measurement, shown in square feet and acres. Perimeter is the total distance around that area. Distance measures one line from end to end.

Yes. On the map, choose What are you planning? for Overseeding, New lawn seed, Sod, Mulch, or Concrete. A Plan uses your chosen areas and material settings; its calculator link lets you refine the estimate. For retaining walls, enter the measured length and planned height in the separate retaining-wall calculator.

Use the measured area, perimeter, or distance as the job quantity, then add the service, access, current conditions, cleanup, and other details that affect the work.

Address search and the current product guidance support US properties.

Select a measurement to see its results. Choose See all for combined totals, with hidden measurements left out. Distance stays separate from area and perimeter; on a phone or tablet, open Measurements to review the results.

Hide from results leaves the measurement in your work but removes it from combined map totals. Choose Include in results to count it again. Delete removes the measurement; hiding does not cut a hole in another area.

Open Included measurements in that Plan and choose the areas receiving the material. This is separate from hiding measurements in map results, and Distance is not a material area. Check Material settings for your rate, coverage, depth, and buffer.

It shows supporting supplies for the selected Plan, such as optional soil preparation or concrete base material. It does not change the main material quantity. Choose supplies and settings to match your job, product label, and supplier.

Select the question mark on the map toolbar, then Start tour. For written instructions, open Menu, then Map help. A selected Plan has its own question mark for a walkthrough of its estimate and settings.

Your location centers the map. Work may remain in this browser for recovery; saving to your account also stores the property location and map content. Sharing can store a viewable snapshot. See the Privacy Policy for the details and retention periods.

Where Share is available, follow the sharing options on your saved work. The link opens a view-only snapshot, not a live editing session. Check its access and expiry details before sending it; anyone with a valid link may be able to forward it.

No. A shared link is view-only. Changes to your original work do not automatically change an existing snapshot; use the available sharing controls to share an updated version.

Use the map’s Save action when available, then follow the login, property-address, and naming prompts. Wait for Saved to confirm success. Reopen saved work from your Yardware account; it is called a Property or Project depending on your account mode.

No. Browser recovery can restore work on this device, but clearing site data, private browsing, or storage limits can remove it. For account saving, complete the Save flow and check for Saved; opening a login screen alone does not save your work.

Yes. Search, trace, edit, and review measurements in a mobile browser. Zoom in before placing points along a detailed boundary.

Enter the full US street address with city and state or ZIP. Check the street number and spelling, then choose a matching suggestion.

Start with the satellite map, then add current dimensions for any new patio, bed, addition, or other change that is not visible yet.

The link may have expired, been disabled, or become unavailable. Ask the sender to check the sharing options on the original work and send a current link.

Keep the map open and follow the displayed recovery or retry action. Check your connection and account session, then wait for Saved. Do not clear browser data or start over while trying to recover unsaved work.
