Why are the images so clear?

Go iLawn uses high-resolution aerial photography (taken from a plane). 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 won’t obstruct your view of the surface you need to measure.

How old are the photos?

The age of the photos varies by county. Typically aerial photos are taken per county request.

What is your coverage area?

We offer 100% coverage of the U.S. and Canada.
