About Ledge
Every project has a lifecycle. Ledge covers all of it.
Running two landscape design-build companies in Texas, eight to ten crews and nearly $10M a year combined, I spent years paying for HubSpot, Jobber, Zapier, CompanyCam, Trello, and six other tools that never fully talked to each other. Ledge is what I built when I ran out of patience for the workarounds.
CRM & Sales
Someone found you. Don't lose them.
A call comes in, a form gets submitted, or you meet someone at a trade show. Every lead lands on one list with its source, age and last contact, so none goes cold.
Leads with source, age and last contact
The next step and a follow-up on every lead
Convert to a deal, the job site becomes a property
Deals board by stage, days in stage on every card
Design & Plan
Capture the vision before you break ground.
Design gets its own board and its own fee. Design files, plan markup and the plant palette stay with the deal, so nothing gets lost between the site walk and the estimate.
Design board, On Deck to Final Review
Design fee quoted and signed online

Estimate
Win jobs before they go to bid.
Build the estimate from your own catalog. Measure on the plan, price against your gross profit target, and know your margin before you send the number.
Assemblies from your catalog, child items included
Takeoff on the plan, quantities into the estimate
Gross profit on every line, against your target
Profit after overhead before you send
Proposal
Look professional. Close faster.
Finish the estimate and Ledge builds the branded quote. Send it from the deal with a link to review and sign. The client signs online, and the deal moves to Closed Won.

Schedule
Right crew, right job, right day.
Book a crew onto the job by the day. See every crew's week with the hours still open, and move a day when the weather turns.

Company closures block every crew
Execution
Track what it actually costs to build.
As the crew works, log progress line by line and confirm each day's hours. Confirmed hours become the job's labor cost, crew by crew.
Progress by work item, weighted by sell price
Confirm the day, hours per person
Confirmed labor cost on the job
Change orders, and punch list notes on the project
Billing & Payment
Get paid. On time. Without chasing.
Bill the job in installments from the agreed amount. Send each invoice with a pay link, card or ACH, and link the job to its QuickBooks Online customer.

Why we built it
Built by someone who's been in your boots.
Running two landscape design-build companies in Texas, eight to ten crews and about $10 million a year combined, you'd think finding the right software would be the easy part. It wasn't.
Every month, the same ritual. Open the credit card statement and run down the list. HubSpot. Jobber. CallRail. CompanyCam. Trello. Zapier. Bluebeam. Google Sheets. Each one solving a piece of the problem. None of them solving the whole thing. The time you saved in each individual tool, you lost connecting them all together. You were spending more money and getting less time back.
That's when Ledge started. Not as a product idea, but as a way out of a problem nothing on the market solved well. Generic field service tools don't understand what it means to run a project that starts with a design consultation and ends with a six-figure install. They don't track margin the way design-build tracks margin. They don't account for scope changes mid-project, multi-phase scheduling, or the gap between what you estimated and what you actually built.
Ledge is landscape design-build software, built for landscape design-build firms, not adapted from something generic. The workflows map to how this business actually runs, because they were designed by someone who ran it. An owner knows how to solve problems. What kills them is the surprises. Ledge doesn't eliminate problems. It eliminates surprises.
