Measuring a lawn from satellite: a field guide

A lawn looks simple from the street and gets complicated the moment you measure it. Flower beds, driveways, and side yards all change the number. Satellite measurement handles every one of them if you trace carefully.

Start with the outer edge

Trace the full property boundary first, following the line where the grass meets the sidewalk, the fence, or the neighbor. This gives you the gross area before you subtract anything.

Cut out what you will not mow

• Exclude the driveway and any paved paths.
• Exclude flower beds, mulch rings, and the footprint of the house.
• Exclude pools, sheds, and gravel areas the crew will skip.

Mind the side yards

Narrow strips along the side of a house are easy to miss and add up fast across a route. Zoom in and trace them so your price reflects the real time on site.

Turn the area into a price

Once the shape is right, Quove multiplies it by your lawn care rate. Adjust a corner and the number moves, so the customer always sees a price that matches the work you will actually do.
