Software comparison
Ledge vs SingleOps
Ledge is landscape design-build software built around one project. SingleOps is tree care business management from Granum. Its own site says it was built to improve the daily operations of tree care companies, and its plans are sized by crew count. If tree work is most of your revenue and you want a client portal, map-based scheduling and a two-way QuickBooks Online sync, SingleOps is a solid fit. If every job is a weeks-long build with a designer, two vendors and an outside accountant, Ledge is built for that shape.
Talk to EdgarShort answer
Pick SingleOps for tree care. Pick Ledge for the build.
SingleOps is strong where the work is a visit. Estimates from your phone, optional items on the proposal, a client portal where customers approve and pay, and a tree inventory mapped to each property. Its site does not describe design-build projects, change orders or outside participants. Ledge is built around exactly those. The mulch quoted by the yard, priced by two vendors and bought by the bag stays one line, and the change order in week six moves the margin the same day.

Where SingleOps wins
Built for tree care: a tree inventory with species, condition, risk and work history mapped to every property.
A client portal where customers view and approve proposals, pick optional items, and pay by card, ACH or debit.
Map-based scheduling on Plus, route optimization on Premier, and crew users free on every plan.
A two-way QuickBooks Online sync plus a QuickBooks Desktop integration, and automations for proposal and invoice follow-ups.
Where Ledge wins
One line holds the quoted unit, each vendor price and the purchased unit. Mulch by the yard, priced by two vendors, bought by the bag, stays one line.
Takeoff from the site plan straight into the estimate, and a design phase with its own board and fee.
Change orders are priced like the estimate, line by line with the margin showing, before the client signs.
Your designer, sub, vendor and outside accountant work inside the project without a seat fee.
No subscription for the first ten landscape design-build firms. Ledge earns only when your client pays.
Questions
Questions owners ask.
Is Ledge a replacement for SingleOps?
For a landscape design-build firm, yes. If tree care or recurring visits are most of your revenue, stay on SingleOps. Ledge has no tree inventory, does not optimize routes, and runs in the browser.
What does SingleOps do better than Ledge?
Tree care, start to finish. The tree inventory, map-based scheduling, route optimization, crew timesheets with GPS, a client portal, a QuickBooks Desktop integration and free crew users. If arborists are your business, that is the job it was built for.
What does Ledge do that SingleOps does not?
Estimates from production rates with mixed units and per-vendor pricing on one line, takeoff from the plan, a design phase with its own board, change orders tied to margin, multi-week project management, and outside participants inside the project.
