# Editing Scout measurements
## What to do when a measurement layer doesn't match the property on the ground.
### **First, check the common causes**
Before editing, it helps to know why a layer might look off:
- **Imagery age** — check the imagery capture date shown on your property; recent construction or landscape changes may postdate it
- **Tree canopy or shadows** — dense cover can obscure turf edges, beds, or hardscape below
- **Boundary ambiguity** — adjacent parcels or shared areas can blur where service scope begins and ends
### **Option 1: Edit it yourself — free**
Once Scout's AI has measured a property, **self-measurement editing is available at no cost**. Adjust layer boundaries to match what you know about the site, and your area totals update accordingly. Edits don't consume credits or free properties.
### **Option 2: Request a complimentary remeasurement**
If you believe a measurement is inaccurate due to an AI error rather than imagery limitations, contact support via chat or email (support@siterecon.ai) with the property address and the layer in question. Complimentary remeasurements are granted at SiteRecon's discretion, case by case.
Either way, give the measurement a **thumbs down** in Scout — that feedback directly helps Scout calibrate and improve accuracy over time.
### **Option 3: Remeasure at credit cost**
If the property itself has changed — new construction, renovated areas, different service scope — or you want a different layer package, you can remeasure the property as a new measurement at standard credit cost (1 property measurement credit per acre, rounded up to the nearest acre).
### **What about Done-For-You takeoffs?**
SiteRecon's expert estimators can handle measurements for complex properties — dense tree cover, intricate bed lines, large multi-parcel campuses — returning a reviewed, bid-ready takeoff. **Done-For-You measurement services are available on Growth, Teams, and Partner plans only** and aren't available to Scout users.
If complex properties are a regular part of your bidding, that's a good signal to talk with our team about a standard plan: online chat, phone, or [sales@siterecon.ai](mailto:sales@siterecon.ai).
