Won’t charm your clients.Won’t dig your trenches.Will handle everything in between.
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.
for landscapers.”
Anyone can build a CRM, and everyone did, us included — but 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 Hernandez estimate — mulch is on it twice. 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, 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. Architects, vendors, subs, and the outside accountant are first-class citizens — the bills she enters in QuickBooks land on the project by themselves, and the margin turns amber while the crew is still on site. The budget isn’t setup. It’s what falls out of the estimate you had to write anyway.
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: most of 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 — 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 shops. No subscription.
The first ten shops run Ledge free — no subscription, no per-seat anything. We make money one way — when you make money: 2.90% + $0.30 per card transaction, 0.85% on ACH on payments that run through Ledge. 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 shop’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 shops, hand-picked. If yours is one of them, you’ll know inside a week whether this holds.
