# Lawn

If this is your first time working in landscape sections, we recommend checking out the [Beds article](https://support.elevationadvisor.com/en-us/article/beds-begin-here-if-you-are-just-getting-started-with-sections-147cu76/) first. It walks through the basics and uses the same sample project referenced here.


In the [Elevation Advisor Sample Design](https://elevation-knowledgebase.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Proposals/Sections/sample_design.pdf), there’s a section of **lawn** located in the **blue-outlined Patio Area**.


### Adding the Lawn Section

If you haven’t already added a Lawn section:

1.  Click **Edit** in the top right corner.

2.  Select **Lawn** from the template library.

3.  Click **Save** to add it to your proposal.


In the, there is a section of lawn in the blue-outlined Patio Area. If you haven’t already added a **Lawn** section to the Patio Area, click Edit in the top right corner and select **Lawn** under the template library and Save.

**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.
