What happens here

Determine the dimensions of the area to be paved. In this example, the area is 210 lineal feet in one direction and 105 lineal feet across. This measurement is crucial for calculating the required quantities of materials. Plan to grade the entire parking lot to create a 'crown', which means the center will be slightly higher than the sides, allowing water to run off to both sides and prevent pooling.

Goal: Measure the project area and establish a grading plan for optimal drainage.

Tools and materials

  • Measuring Tape — Measuring the length and width of the parking lot area
