One of Harvester Bill's clients recently won a $1 million contract despite bidding 10% higher than his competitors. How?
By measuring every mulch bed, every tree ring, every polygon of turf on the site by using SiteRecon's fully-autonomous property mapping solution.
He justified his pricing by telling the board that he prepared his estimates by leveraging accurate measurements.
The board instantly knew that anyone who was bidding lower wouldn't be able to deliver the standard of service expected.
Why SiteRecon?
Mapping sites accurately is the solution and you may know it already. The trick is doing it at inhuman speed without breaking the bank. That's where SiteRecon can help!
Fully-automated
Get hundreds of acres mapped with insane detail without ever having to lift a finger
Super-accurate
Map outlines are accurate within 7 cm of their actual position on the ground. Crazy, right?
Highly affordable
For a site between 100-150 acres, you can get turf, beds, soft edge, hard edge, and trees mapped for ~ $130
Hear from our pioneers who are reaping the benefits of automation
We kept on finding properties that were not on the original spreadsheet so I think that number grew from around 500 at the time of starting to over 600 by the time we were done. But you got the job done.
Tim Johnson
President, Tim Johnson Landscaping
It's empowering us to truly sit in a room and pull up the maps, the satellite imagery, and pull up the different polygons to see what areas are worth servicing.
Nate Hyde
VP-Sales, Mainscape
Now we're going into every project knowing where our costs are, that we can execute those. We've got really good confidence in the measurements now that we're using the tool.
Daniel Currin
CEO, Greenscape
It would take us approximately 5 days to generate the proposal and present it to the client. We’ve now reduced that to 3. We’re generating proposals 40% faster now."
SiteRecon is an end-to-end, fully automated property measurement solution.
It is an online platform that measures the properties for you. You have the option to measure properties on your own or get them measured by the software.
It has a button - 'Get Measurements' - that creates orders to generate property measurements.
All you need to do is input the address, select the features to measure and press that button - SiteRecon pulls the property outline and high resolution aerial imagery; measures the property, checks for quality and delivers the data.
Result - fully automated property measurements.
What can I measure with SiteRecon?
You can measure standard features such as surface area of turf, beds, sidewalks, parking lots; length of soft edges and hard edges; count of trees and palm trees.
Depends on the size of the property, the number of features to be measured and the volume of order traffic. In case the system is not swamped with measurements (>95% of the time), you can expect to get back the measurements within:
30 minutes for a residential property where you need turf area.
5 hours for a 10 acre property with turf, beds, trees, sidewalks, and parking lot measurements.
Why does it take 30 minutes to do turf on a residential site? Because someone in our team always eyeballs the measurements extracted by the computer algorithm from aerial imagery to make sure that the data created is accurate.
How accurate is it?
Map outlines are accurate within 7 cms of their actual position on the ground. Measurement numbers are extracted using these map outlines.
You can get similar accuracy from a property survey is someone moves the measuring wheel exactly along the boundary of the parking lot on the property. And then repeat the exercise of turf, beds and all other features that you measure
SiteRecon users have verified the measurements through site visits and you can see their testimonial in the case study videos.
How does SiteRecon handle a property covered by trees?
SiteRecon combines different sources of imagery to get the most complete picture of the site -
Leaf-off imagery collected during winters to see through tree canopies
Street imagery to get a view from ground
The above sources are combined with the latest high resolution aerial imagery of the site to extract measurements.
Can SiteRecon measure a property that was recently constructed?
Yes. SiteRecon access the best-in-class aerial imagery from Nearmap to extract measurements. Nearmap imagery is collected over 700 cities within the last 1-9 months. The collection frequency depends on how big your city is. The bigger the city, higher the collection frequency.
Can SitRecon measure hundreds of properties in one go?
Yes. It is possible to place bulk orders on SiteRecon. This how it works -
Upload an excel containing the list of addresses and the measurements needed.
Review if the right location and property outline was picked up for the address.
Click on 'Get measurements'
Properties are mapped at a rate of few dozen per day and the support team follows up to ensure that the data is reviewed and approved.
Is there a restriction on the type of properties that SiteRecon can measure?
No. SiteRecon supports measurements for -
Residential properties
Commercial properties
HOAs - common areas, private areas
Municipal right-of-ways
Sub-parts of larger properties
Properties outside cities in continental US - in Alaska, Hawaii, Samoa, Canada, Venezuela and Antarctica.
How do I take the measurements to the field for site visits?
You can open SiteRecon app on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets/iPads. As long as you have an internet connection and a mobile in the field, you can access the maps.
How do I share the data with my team and customers?
SiteRecon enables you to share maps with accounts added to your organization's workspace. Everyone added to the workspace can view the maps and measurements
For people outside the team, you can share a map just like sharing a YouTube video - using a web page link.
Who uses the platform? What is their use case?
The most common users of the platform are -
Business developers - ordering measurements while working on opportunities
Estimators - offloading measurement tasks on the platform
Operations managers - verifying the maps and measurements through site visits
Admin and support staff - helping leadership of their companies execute bulk orders on the platform when they decide to move to a business management software like Aspire.

Ordering first property to measure
Our company doesn't have a lot of volume of property measurements. Will we benefit from it?
Even if you have 50 properties to measure every year, those are 50 opportunities to have smarter pre-bid conversation with prospects, qualify leads faster, increase closing rates and optimally allocate sales reps’ time that you will miss out on if you continue with the old way of measuring properties.
I can't afford it since I've already bought the annual subscription of another property measurement tool.
You have only paid for the software subscription. You haven’t paid the real cost of using it - the cost of time invested into measuring properties and the missed opportunity to have smarter pre-bid conversation with prospects, qualify leads faster, increase closing rates and optimally allocate sales reps’ time that you will miss out on if you continue with the old way of measuring properties.
