Most people only notice tennis court lines when a ball lands near one. A shot clips the baseline, someone calls it out, someone else swears it was in, and a ten minute argument follows. Builders see the same lines very differently. To us they are the last step of a long chain of decisions about

Then someone gets a quote, or a drawing, or a site survey, and the differences show up fast. One needs roughly the footprint of a two-car driveway plus a bit. The
