This will assist in determining the quantity of materials you will need to complete the job with minimal wastage. Minimal wastage is the most efficient way of saving on the cost of your project. It’s important to get the measurements as accurate as possible.
The next step is selecting a product suitable for the area & requirements. Consider the primary use of the area. Are you transforming your front yard or backyard? Will it be used regularly, or will it serve the purpose of aesthetics only? Titan Turf offers different Australian-Made products for different purposes.
