Land Area Calculator

For typical yard and garden sizes the calculator is accurate to within about 1%. It uses an equirectangular projection with the Shoelace formula — which is highly accurate for plots spanning a few acres or less. For very large land parcels (tens of acres), consider a professional survey for legal or financial decisions.

Search for your address to jump to your property on the satellite view, then click Add area. Click along the boundary of your yard to place points, following the edges as closely as you can. Double-click (or click the first point) to close the shape. You can drag any vertex afterward to fine-tune.

Just trace the areas you actually want to measure — usually the grass or planting beds — and skip over the house, driveway, or patio. You can click Add area as many times as you like to outline each separate section of lawn or garden. The breakdown panel shows every area you added, and the total is the sum of all of them.

One acre equals exactly 43,560 square feet. An average suburban lot is roughly 0.2–0.25 acres (about 8,700–10,900 sq ft). A standard American football field (including end zones) is about 1.32 acres.

A square yard is 9 square feet (3 ft × 3 ft). Landscaping materials like mulch, topsoil, and gravel are often sold by the cubic yard, so knowing your area in square yards alongside your desired depth makes it easy to calculate volume without extra conversion steps.

Yes. The map uses single-finger panning and drawing so your finger doesn't get “trapped” scrolling the page. Tap Add area, then tap points around your yard boundary. Pinch to zoom in for better accuracy. Double-tap the final point (or tap the starting point) to close the shape.
