Moving Dirt

Four driveways, one estimate. 3.3 hours on one, 43.8 on another, and every number was wrong in the same direction, including the good ones.

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

What this one covers

  1. 1

    The same patio on four driveways, and why the gate matters more than the clay.

  2. 2

    The line that isn't on any of the four estimates, the truck, which costs more than the digging on the day everything goes right.

  3. 3

    Why nobody can give you a standard rate for the ground under this town, and the four habits that replace it.

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

The sheet teaches the math once. Ledge carries it on every job after: the burdened hour, the man-hours the price bought, and what the crew actually did against it, side by side the day the truck is unloaded. The first ten landscape design-build firms run it free, and we make money only when your client pays you. If you want to see it on your own jobs, you talk to me.
