Depreciation is calculated primarily on the straight-line method, generally over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements – 3 to 10 years; buildings and improvements – 8 to 25 years; and vehicles and machinery and equipment – 3 to 8 years. Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 was $3.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 was $6.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
