Basics

 
 

What is Go iLawn?

 

Go iLawn is an online property measuring service for green industry professionals. Go iLawn combines high resolution photographs, measuring tools and property information in one easy-to-use application. It allows you to obtain accurate measurements from the convenience of the office.

How does it work?

 

It’s pretty simple! First you enter an address, business name or street intersection to locate your property and Go iLawn will return a property photo to you. Then, with a few clicks of the mouse you can measure any outdoor surface on the property. Save all of your measurements to an Excel spreadsheet and property photos as jpeg files to your computer.

Photos

 
 

Why are the images so clear?

 

Go iLawn uses high resolution aerial photography (taken from a plane) as well as premium satellite imagery. Aerial photos are clearer than a standard satellite photo because they are taken much closer to the earth with a high resolution camera lens. Plus, most of our aerial images are taken after the leaves have fallen off of the trees so tree canopies no longer obstruct your view of the surface you need to measure.

How old are the photos?

 

The age of the photos varies by county. Aerial photos are taken per county request. Contact us to find out the age of the photos in your area.

Features

 
 

What are some of the tools? What can I measure?

 

Measure any outdoor surface for any property type on Go iLawn with our measuring tools. The area tool and linear distance tool are among the most popular in the toolset.

Can I save and print the measurements and photos?

 

Yes. Measurements are formatted to an Excel spreadsheet and photos save as jpeg files. You can also save a "workspace" to your computer, which is a Go iLawn file that you can reload later to complete or modify property measurements.

What is a property report?

 

A property report consists of property specific information that may include: property owner, full mailing address, county, assessor’s parcel number, mail carrier route, subdivision and land use identifiers, phone number, lot and building size, and total assessed and taxable values. This information comes from county auditor records. Property reports can be saved to Excel.
*Property reports are currently available for properties located in the U.S only.

What is a neighborhood report?

 

A neighborhood report provides users with area demographics. Neighborhood reports are derived from U.S. census results, which group properties into ‘blocks’ of census responders by FIPS code. Average household size, number of owner occupied and renter occupied homes, household income, net worth, disposable income, and tax value of the property are often included in a neighborhood information report. Average and a total spend for pets, maintenance, home improvement, and lawn may also be included.

What Internet browser works best with Go iLawn?
