How Measure The Lawn works

Find a property, add measurements, and use the results for area, distance, or material planning.

Measure in two steps. Then keep planning.

Find the property and add measurements. The results become the starting point for the project.

  1. Find the property

    Search a US address or use your current location.

  2. Add measurements

    Use Freeform, Rectangle, or Distance for each area or straight run you need.

Next

Plan with the results

Compare material estimates, adjust the measurements, and keep working as the project changes.

Separate outdoor measurements marked on a satellite map
Each lawn area is a separate measurement. Include the ones you need in the combined total.

Choose the right measurement tool

Area tools return square footage and perimeter. Distance returns length and never enters an area total.

Freeform

Irregular lawns, beds, patios, and curved boundaries

Area + perimeter

Rectangle

Simple spaces described by length and width

Area + perimeter

Distance

Walls, borders, paths, and straight spans

Length

Keep the plan connected to the property.

Review area, perimeter, or distance, then use area measurements to plan seed, sod, mulch, or concrete. Edit the measurements and compare results as the work changes.

Included measurements set the total.

Use one measurement for a single area, or include multiple visible measurements for a combined result.
