Lawn

If this is your first time working in landscape sections, we recommend checking out the Beds article first. It walks through the basics and uses the same sample project referenced here.

Measuring the Lawn

Let’s begin by measuring the lawn in the blue-outlined Patio Area.

  • If you already know the square footage:

  • Open the Lawn section.

  • Double-click on Square Feet under Subsection 1 and enter the value.

  • If you need to measure it:

  • You can enter the measurements as one large section.

  • Or divide the lawn into manageable parts using subsections, especially if it’s broken up or irregular.


In our example, the lawn is uniform enough to be measured as one section:

  • 30’L x 10’W

  • Top soil depth: 2”


Materials & Labor

Scroll down to the Materials/Labor section. You’ll see two preset line items:

  • Top Soil

  • Sod

Click Connect Item to assign the specific products you'd like to use.

In our example:

  • Sandy Loam for top soil

  • Premium Sod for sod


Finalizing the Section

Once materials are selected, you can:

  • Change Crew Size, Add labor, equipment, or subcontractors

  • Enter a Description of Services to explain the scope of work

  • Add Crew Notes for internal communication


If you need help with these steps, refer to the Beds article, which walks through the process in detail.
