Fresh Air Landscapes are known for designing and building high-end outdoor spaces across Sussex, from multi-level patios and retaining walls to garden rooms and concrete structures. These projects rely on accurate measurements, clear planning, and dependable tools.
For Director Alistair Gardier, Moasure has become an essential part of that workflow.
Moving Beyond Tape Measures and String Lines
Before adopting Moasure’s unique motion-based technology, measuring sloped gardens, irregular boundaries and curved patios required:
- Multiple tools
- Several hours on site for at least two team members
- Repeated checks to avoid miscalculations
Small discrepancies often resulted in unnecessary material orders, slower quoting and avoidable rework.
“If you're trying to work out whether something is 40 meters or 42 meters with a tape, that difference can mean a lorry-load of material.”
With his Moasure 2 PRO permanently in his pocket, Alistair is not only able to provide clients with more accurate, competitively-priced quotes, but also saves the time, hassle and cost implications that come with overordering. It’s safe to say that for Fresh Air Landscapes, Moasure provides a more reliable way to measure complex environments.
How Moasure Supports Fresh Air Landscapes
Alistair now brings Moasure to every first site visit. In one walk, he can measure and map:
- Horizontal distances
- Square meterage
- Elevation changes (rise and fall)
- Angles
- Curved boundaries and irregular shapes
These measurements appear instantly in the Moasure app as a clean, fully-dimensioned, editable drawing.
Measurement diagrams can be enhanced with labels to note points of interest, such as utilities, sprinklers, gate posts and more; additional layers can be added to the same file, capturing individual areas in relation to each other, such as borders, garden buildings and paths; and post-measurement tools like Cut/Fill, Add Depth, and Edit Background can make the life of a landscaper that little bit easier.
“What used to take hours now takes minutes. I can focus more time on design and quoting, instead of managing tapes and string lines.”
These designs can then be exported straight from the Moasure app to PDF, CSV or CAD, for the next stage of the design process, saving time-consuming manual data input.

Handling Curves, Slopes, and Challenging Terrain
Fresh Air Landscapes frequently build structures on steep banks, winding garden paths and large curved patios, areas where traditional tools struggle.
“You place the stick down at each point and Moasure captures every change in direction and elevation. It works consistently, even on uneven ground.”
Reducing Waste and Improving Project Planning
Accurate measurements help Alistair order materials with confidence:
- Tile orders calculated to the required area
- Concrete quantities based on measured depth and footprint
- Excavation volumes estimated from real elevation data
This reduces surplus material and protects margins on larger hardscape projects.
“We’ve had jobs where we had exactly the number of tiles we needed – no over-ordering.”
Building Trust During Quotes and Site Visits
Moasure also plays an important role in strengthening communication with clients during the quoting stage. Being able to map a site digitally – right there and then – helps homeowners immediately understand layout, levels and the scope of the proposed work. It removes guesswork and gives them confidence that the quote is based on accurate, transparent measurements rather than rough estimates.
“Clients are used to landscapers turning up with a tape. When they see Moasure in action, it demonstrates a more modern, organised way of working.”
By providing an instant visual model of the space, contractors can walk clients through ideas more clearly, explain challenges, and set expectations early. This often leads to smoother conversations, quicker decision-making and greater trust in the contractor’s professionalism.
A Tool Worth Learning
While Moasure is intuitive, users note that the real benefits show once they’ve taken time to understand the workflow and integrate it into their daily routine. Learning when to use specific features, how to capture complex shapes, and how to review measurements within the app helps unlock the full efficiency gains.
“Like any professional tool, it rewards practice. Once it becomes part of your process, it speeds everything up.”
For those willing to learn, the payoff is significant – faster site assessments, cleaner data, fewer return visits and a more streamlined handover to design or estimating software. Ultimately, Moasure becomes a reliable part of the toolbox that saves time, improves accuracy and elevates overall project delivery.
Why Moasure Fits into Fresh Air Landscapes’ Workflow
When asked what Moasure brings to his business, Alistair highlights:
- Faster site measurements, performed single-handedly
- Clearer planning and seamless exporting
- More accurate material estimates, resulting in cost savings
- Smoother communication with clients
- The ability to measure spaces that are difficult with traditional tools
“It supports us in working more efficiently across every stage of a project.”
