Measuring and planning
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 points around the visible grass edge. Measure separated lawn sections individually and use cutouts for surfaces that should not count.
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. Carry the measured area or wall length into the calculator for seed, sod, mulch, concrete, or retaining-wall materials.
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.
Privacy and sharing
It is used to center the map. Address lookups may be cached briefly, measurements can remain in your browser, and hosted share links can temporarily store geometry. See the Privacy Policy for details.
A hosted link opens a view-only snapshot of the measurement, including its geometry, totals, and preview image. The link can expire.
No. A shared link is view-only. Edit the original measurement on the map and create a new link when the measurement changes.
Troubleshooting
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 hosted link may have expired. Ask the sender to open the current measurement and create a new share link.
