Usage Instructions:

The process involves measuring the required areas; the app automates the calculations using industry-standard methods, equations, and quantity takeoff procedures. Its design ensures accurate results by adhering to accepted industry practices.

A notable feature is its flexibility: users can modify specific formulas with custom data when necessary. For instance, if using non-standard rolls of sod, users can input custom length and width measurements before proceeding with estimates. Similarly, for mulch calculations, options allow selection between cubic yards and bags, along with inputting the mulch depth and bag size.
