Basis of quantities
- Gravel surfaces at 3 in deep.
- Bed fill is the footprint × the bed’s height, with no allowance for settling; a herb spiral is taken as a cone and a hügelkultur mound as half its box, most of it wood.
- Fence length excludes gate openings; posts as a crew lays them, terminals at ends, turns and gates, line posts at most 10 ft (chain link) or 8 ft (picket) apart.
- Areas and lengths are rounded to the nearest foot; volumes are rounded up to the next tenth of a cubic yard.
