- 1
The ceiling: rock is 55% of the price, so 45% is the most that exists. 50% was never on the table.
- 2
What a real crew does with 2,700 pounds a yard: 1.75 man-hours, which is 26%, off the bottom of your own table.
- 3
The levers, and why this is the first material where buying a machine is the honest answer instead of pushing the crew.

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.
