Quote more efficiently
Create an early planning measurement before driving to every property, then verify critical dimensions on site.
Satellite property measurement
Measure outdoor project areas before the site visit.
Search an address, click around the visible project area, and use the calculated square footage for material planning or a contractor estimate.
Handle separate sections
Measure multiple lawns or beds independently and combine their area without drawing across buildings or pavement.
Keep a job record
Signed-in contractors can save the outline to a property and create a branded measurement PDF.
Connected workflow
How satellite measuring fits a contractor workflow
- 01
Find the address
Search the property and zoom until the project boundaries are easy to distinguish.
- 02
Outline each area
Click around the outside edge, finish the shape, and add more sections when needed.
- 03
Review the result
Refine the outline and compare square feet, square yards, acres, and square meters.
- 04
Plan the work
Send the area into a material calculator, save it to the property, or create a measurement report for the job file.
What to know
How accurate is satellite property measurement?
The result depends on image quality, roof overhangs, trees, slopes, boundary visibility, and where each point is placed. It is best treated as a planning estimate rather than a survey or guaranteed material quantity.
Satellite measurement is most useful for early quoting, comparing project options, and preparing for a site visit. Contractors should verify critical boundaries, elevations, access, and site conditions before ordering material or committing to final scope.
Common questions
Questions contractors ask
Do I need an account to measure a property?
No. Address search, drawing, and area calculations are free. An account is only needed to save the measurement to a contractor workspace.
Can I measure more than one section?
Yes. Finish the first area, draw the next section, and YardMeasure combines their total.
Is this a land survey?
No. Satellite outlines are planning estimates and are not a substitute for a legal survey or on-site verification.
