Measuring tips

How do I measure for pavers or turf?

Break the space into rectangles and circles. Measure each one in feet: length and width for rectangles, the distance straight across for circles. Subtract planters, pools or pads inside the space, then add extra for cuts and waste. Call (623) 536-3261 if you'd like help measuring.
