Frequently Asked Questions
How can I ensure I get paid immediately after finishing a grading job?
Using a digital invoice allows you to send the bill from your cab the moment the work is done. By providing an instant 'Pay Now' button for credit cards or ACH, you remove the friction of the client having to mail a check or visit an ATM.
What is the best way to handle billing for extra dirt or unexpected rock removal?
Digital invoicing tools make it easy to add 'Change Order' line items on the fly. You can document the extra yardage or hours, attach a photo of the site condition, and get digital sign-off to ensure those additions are paid along with the main contract.
How do I prevent clients from holding up my final payment over minor landscape issues?
Utilize progress billing through a digital platform. By invoicing for specific milestones—like site prep or rough grade—you secure the majority of your cash flow early, leaving only a small fraction of the total contract subject to final walkthrough disputes.
