FAQ

What does Measure The Lawn do?

Measure The Lawn lets you draw your lawn (or other green space) on a satellite map and get area and perimeter. It’s for quick planning—sod, mulch, overseeding, patios, concrete. US addresses only.

Do I draw the lawn myself?

Yes. You trace your lawn on the map (polygon or rectangle) and can subtract areas like your house or driveway. We don’t auto-draw property boundaries.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Use an address or “Use my location,” then draw and see measurements. No signup.

Does it work on mobile phones?

Yes. Measure The Lawn works on mobile phones as well. Use it in your browser on your phone to search, draw, and see measurements on the go.

How accurate are the measurements?

As accurate as the tool can give—based on your drawing and map imagery. Great for ordering materials and planning projects.

Why doesn’t my map or drawing look right?

Use a full US address or “Use my location,” then pan and zoom. You control the shape by drawing; if the map view is wrong, try a different address or zoom level.

Is my address or location stored?

We use it only to show your property and calculate area. For details, see our Privacy Policy.
