Do you have Gift Cards?
-Yes we do! Our gift cards do NOT expire and are good for all products sold at our main Kent store, any season. Also good for any dollar amount.  
How do I know how much material I will need?
-You will need to figure out your total square footage (length x width of area)
-To determine number of yards needed:

For a 3 inch depth, divide total square footage by 108.
For a 4 inch depth, divide total square footage by 81.
For a 6 inch depth, divide total square footage by 54.

For a 1 foot depth, divide total square footage by 27.
