Artificial Turf

$11 a foot, $3.25 turf. Looks like 70%. It isn't, and the reason is five things you install on every job and never put on a quote.

Video coming

The sheets are ready now. The episode lands here the day it's up.

What this one covers

  1. 1

    The stack. Turf isn't one material, it's six: $1.76 a foot under the turf that's probably never been quoted.

  2. 2

    What a real crew does with it, and for once the number is good news: 45%, with room in the price.

  3. 3

    Why a 250-foot job can be worth less than a 200-foot one, and the two things on turf no sheet can price: dye lot and direction.

The sheets

Prices are mine. Yours are different. The math is the same.

Who made this

Ledge is software for landscape design-build. These sheets are the thinking underneath it.

Every number on these sheets is the kind Ledge carries for you on a real job: the burdened hour, the man-hours a price buys, what the crew actually did against it. The first ten shops run Ledge free; we make money only on payments. If you want to see it on your own jobs, there's one person to talk to.
