Lawn products
Buy the right amount the first time
Grass seed, fertilizer, sod, and lawn treatments are sold by coverage area. Measure your lawn once and buy only what you need.
Grass seed & overseeding
Seed is rated per 1,000 sq ft — a 6,000 sq ft lawn needs six units of coverage.
Fertilizer, lime & iron
Match the bag’s “covers 5,000 sq ft” to your measured turf so a single bag does the job.
New sod
Divide your area by about 450 sq ft to get pallets — no guessing at the yard.
Beds & garden
Order the right amount of mulch and soil
Measure garden beds before ordering mulch, topsoil, or compost so you buy the right amount.
Mulch & compost
One cubic yard covers ~108 sq ft at 3 inches deep. A 1,300 sq ft bed needs about 12 yards.
Raised & vegetable beds
Measure each bed to plan soil volume and how much you can plant.
Edging
Measure a bed to plan the edging and border around it.
Hardscape
Plan your next outdoor project
Measure patios, driveways, gravel areas, and other outdoor spaces before buying materials or requesting quotes.
Driveway sealer
Sealer covers ~70 sq ft per gallon per coat; a 1,050 sq ft drive is about 30 gallons for two coats.
Patios & pavers
Get the area for pavers, plus the base and sand underneath.
Gravel & stone
Area × depth gives you the tons of gravel or stone to order.
Water & recreation
Plan around your pool
Measure your pool area for covers, chemicals, landscaping, or future backyard projects.
Pool surface area
Trace the water to size a solar cover, safety cover, or your chemical dosing.
Playsets & trampolines
Measure the open yard to confirm a set fits with safe clearance around it.
Where a pool can go
Check the open yard against setback distances before you commit.
New projects
Plan a new backyard
Thinking about adding a shed, garden, playset, fire pit, or outdoor kitchen? Measure the available space first so you know what fits.
Shed
Measure the open yard to confirm a shed fits — with room to walk around it and reach the door.
Fire pit
Check the clear space around a seating area so the pit sits a safe distance from the house and fence.
Playset
Measure the open lawn to see whether a swing set or trampoline fits with safe clearance on every side.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I measure my yard without a tape measure?
Yes. Search your address, trace the area on the satellite image, and read the square footage. No tape, no walking the yard.
Is FindPropertySize free?
Yes — you can measure properties for free every month, with no app to install and no card to start.
How do I know how much grass seed or fertilizer to buy?
Measure just your turf, then match your area to the bag’s coverage. Seed and fertilizer are rated per 1,000 sq ft, so a 6,000 sq ft lawn needs six units.
Can I measure only part of my property?
Yes. Draw the lawn as its own area and leave out the driveway, beds, and patio, so your numbers cover only what you’re treating.
How do I find my exact property lines?
Turn on the parcel overlay to see your recorded boundary over the satellite photo, then measure along any line. Parcel lines currently cover U.S. properties only. For a legal boundary, confirm with a survey.
