Driveway Square Footage Calculator

For a rectangular driveway, you multiply length by width. For anything irregular — curved, L-shaped, or multi-section — you need to break it into segments and add them together. SurfaceMeasure skips the manual math entirely: you trace the shape on a satellite image and the area is calculated automatically, regardless of how complex the driveway is.

Yes. The polygon drawing tool works by placing points anywhere on the satellite image, so you can follow curves, angles, and irregular edges with as much precision as you need. The more points you place along a curve, the more accurately the shape is traced.

For most driveways, satellite-based measurement is accurate within a few percent of an in-person tape measurement — accurate enough for material estimation, quoting, and job planning. Factors like image resolution and the angle of satellite capture can introduce minor variation, but in practice, SurfaceMeasure measurements are consistently close enough for professional estimates.

Yes. You can draw multiple shapes within the same project — useful for driveways with a separate apron, a widened garage pad, or split sections. Each shape is measured independently, so you can see the breakdown and the total.

Yes. The tool works at any scale. Commercial entry drives, parking lot approaches, large paved surfaces, and multi-unit property driveways can all be measured the same way as a residential driveway — just with more polygon points.

No. SurfaceMeasure uses satellite imagery, so as long as the property is visible from above (which covers virtually all addresses in the U.S.), you can measure it without leaving your desk. Many contractors use it to measure properties before deciding whether a physical visit is necessary.

SurfaceMeasure starts with 3 free measurements — no credit card required. Paid plans are $9.99 per month or $99 per year. For contractors doing regular estimates, it typically saves more time on the first job than the entire monthly cost.
