A mapping tool that shows satellite imagery, terrain and measuring tools for places around the world.
Google Earth describes itself as a way to explore the world with satellite imagery, 3D terrain and measuring tools. Owners in Nashville can use it to look at their property from above, see the shape of a slope, estimate distances and spot drainage paths and tree cover. It is a helpful starting point for conversations about where a wall could go and how far water travels across a yard.
We are an independent firm and are not affiliated with Google. Imagery may be out of date and measurements are approximate, so we always measure on site before designing or pricing a wall. If you are curious about the tool, the official site has details, and we are glad to look at screenshots you send before a visit. Mapping tools help us prepare, and on-site measurement and soil checks finish the job.
