What You Bought vs What You Built

You sold 1,500 square feet of turf. You bought 1,742. The gap is the one line item nobody has, and the only thing in this series you can prove from invoices you already own.

    Four reasons the two numbers are never the same (cut waste, packages, over-ordering, leftovers) and which was actually in the price.

  2. 2

    One job line by line, four jobs where it was called a footnote, and what a year of it does to profit.

  3. 3

    How to find your own number tonight in 20 minutes, and four different fixes.

The sheets

This episode hasn't been recorded yet. The sheets go up here the same day it does.

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.
