FAQ
Everything you need to know about measurement, pricing, and estimates before you download.
Measurement
Square feet is the default and the right unit for most residential and commercial curb market work. For jobs where the numbers get unwieldy, activities can be configured to calculate in thousand-square-foot increments instead — so a $25/k rate reads cleaner than $0.025/sq ft.
For rural or agricultural accounts where a small job starts at two acres, you can build activities around global acre assignments so your pricing language matches how you think about those properties.
This is exactly what the app was built for. Verdant Meridian traces flowing, curved planting beds and the turf areas that adjoin them — the shapes that make a measuring wheel useless and mental math unreliable.
You walk the boundary, the GPS locks the line, and the app calculates the exact square footage regardless of how complex the shape is.
Pricing
Each billable activity targets only the shape types you assign to it. A mowing activity targets turf zones. A mulching activity targets bed zones. You are never applying a lawn mowing rate to a planting bed by accident.
When you add an activity to a job, you select which shapes it applies to — and the math happens automatically from there.
Yes — and they're fully customizable within each activity. You can build in scaled discounts that reduce the rate above a square footage threshold, surcharges that increase it, or stack multiple tiers to describe your pricing exactly the way you think about it.
There's no limit on how many tiers you configure per activity. If your pricing logic has always lived in your head, this is where you finally write it down once and let the app execute it every time.
Yes, unlimited. A single turf zone can have mowing, line trimming, edging, and any other activity applied to it at the same time. Each service calculates independently against the same measured area.
Two approaches. The first: set your minimum fee as the rate for the first 1,000 sq ft of turf, then apply a scaled discount to any area above that threshold — small jobs hit your floor, large jobs scale naturally.
The second: create a standalone minimum charge activity and apply it to any job that doesn't reach your floor through normal line items.
Pro tip: before falling back to a minimum charge, look for a service you can upsell to get there instead. You come out ahead and so does the customer.
Yes. The Conditions system gives you full control over how each activity bills. Attach a surcharge for slope, limited access, obstacles, overgrowth — whatever factors affect your time on that job. Apply conditions selectively per job, or build them into the activity as a default.
Everything is fully customizable. The logic is yours; the app just executes it consistently.
Data & Security
Verdant Meridian is a single-seat installation. Your pricing library lives on your device and is not synced or shared. Access to the app means access to your rates — the protection layer is your phone's own lock screen and biometrics.
If a crew member needs to run estimates independently, they would need their own install with their own pricing library.
Estimates & Output
A full line-item breakdown organized by service and zone. The customer sees the square footage measured for each area of the property, every service applied, and the price for each line item.
No more "I thought that included the back beds" conversations. The scope is documented before you leave the driveway.
Is this app for me?
One question: How long does it take you to run the hedge trimmers down 30 feet of row that's three feet high?
If you can answer that, you already think in the units this app is built around. You know what your time costs. Verdant Meridian gives you the system to turn that field knowledge into a consistent, professional, profitable bid — every single time, on every single property.
If you've ever finished a job and felt like you left money on the table, this is the fix.
