Turf take-off & roll plan

Upload a drawing, confirm the turf zone and scale, and get a verified area with an optimised laying plan — the same data that drives the PDF proposal.

Standing defaults — visible & adjustable, never baked in

Roll width (m) Roll length (m) Reuse min length (m) Reuse min area (m²) Try diagonal anyway

Pile runs one direction · no 90° rotation · 180° avoided.

A

Upload & identify the turf zone

Drop a PDF or image, then click each coloured fill to add it as a zone — pick several disconnected pieces or colours into one take-off. Click a numbered zone to remove it.

{{ zones }} zone(s) Match tolerance

Manual trace {{ shapes }} shape(s) · {{ curPoints }} pts Zoom in first for accuracy. Trace overrides colour zones.

Excluded from take-off

The turf zone is the green fill you selected. Its area is measured from the mask — never from a printed number.

B

Calibrate scale

Set px/m from a known on-drawing dimension — not the printed area.
