Won’t charm your clients.Won’t dig your trenches.Will price it, run it, get you paid.
Your business isn’t a string of jobs. It’s one project that keeps changing, from walkthrough to design to build to the warranty visit next spring.

Anyone can build a CRM, and everyone did, us included. Nobody built software shaped like one project that keeps changing.
How many apps know mulch gets quoted one way, priced another, and bought from two vendors on the same job?
Ledge does. Look at the Goforth estimate. The infill sand is measured in square feet and bought in bags, on one line. Assembly estimating carries mixed units, per-vendor pricing, and five cost tiers on every line. Materials, labor, equipment, overhead, profit.
The CRM and scheduling work. That stuff’s a commodity now. Anyone can build it, and we did. The estimating engine is the part nobody else has.
Your designer is a freelancer. Your books live with your accountant.
Your software thinks everyone works for you. Ledge doesn’t. Builders, architects, designers, engineers, subs and vendors join the job as participants, with no seat fee. Each job links to its QuickBooks customer, so the invoices land in the books your accountant already keeps.
One thread, or six tools that don’t talk.
They’re not bad tools, just the wrong shape.
Ledge isn’t for everyone. On purpose.
If routes are your business
Maintenance-first, mowing, 200 stops a week. Stay on Jobber or LMN. They're good at it. We don't optimize routes and won't.
We do handle your maintenance clients, mostly the properties you built.
If a controller runs your operations
Aspire is built for exactly that, the reporting depth and process a real ops layer needs. It'll treat you well.
We're built for the owner who's still the ops layer themself.
If you want to be taught a system
There are plenty of coaches out there, with real budgeting systems taught properly. Worth every hour, if you'll put the hours in.
We're for the owner who wants the margin to show up without the homework.
Ten firms. No subscription.
The first ten landscape design-build firms run Ledge free. No subscription, no per-seat anything. We make money one way, when you make money. On payments that run through Ledge, the fee is 2.90% + $0.30 per card transaction, 0.85% on ACH. We get paid when you get paid, as it should be. Run real jobs through it and tell us where it’s wrong; what you flag ships in the changelog with your firm’s name next to it.
If what you run on works, keep it. If you know it’s broken and want a hand in what replaces it, talk to Edgar. His number, not a queue.
Ten firms, hand-picked. If yours is one of them, you’ll know inside a week whether this holds.

Questions owners ask before the call
What is Ledge?
Ledge is landscape design-build software. It follows one project from the first walkthrough through design, estimate, build, change orders, invoicing, and the warranty visit. It is not Ledge the accounting tool (ledge.co) or Ledge Lounger, the pool furniture.
What does Ledge cost?
Nothing, for the first ten landscape design-build firms. No subscription, no per-seat fees, every seat included. Ledge earns only when your client pays through it, 2.90% + $0.30 per card transaction, 0.85% on ACH. If your clients pay by check, we earn nothing from you.
Who is Ledge for?
Landscape design-build firms doing roughly $500K to $5M a year with 2 to 15 crews, where a job runs weeks or months and involves a freelance designer, more than one vendor, a sub or two, and an outside accountant.
Who should use something else?
If routes are your business, Jobber or LMN. If a controller runs your operations, Aspire. If you want to be taught a budgeting system, LMN or SynkedUP. Ledge does not optimize routes and does not teach a method.
Does Ledge work with QuickBooks?
Yes, both directions. Each job links to its QuickBooks Online customer, its invoices go out, and invoice status comes back. Any QuickBooks invoice Ledge does not recognize waits in one queue for review. Payments run through Stripe.
How is Ledge different from LMN, Aspire, or Jobber?
Those are built around recurring visits or large operations. Ledge is built around one long project. A line item quoted by the yard, priced by two vendors, and bought by the bag stays one line, and a change order in week six updates the margin the same day.
How do I get one of the ten spots?
Book thirty minutes with Edgar and bring the ugliest job you quoted this year. We rebuild the estimate together. If Ledge can handle that one, you are in.
Something else? Ask Edgar directly.
