Landscaper lacks visibility into true per-job profitability because gut-feel pricing ignores hidden costs like drive time, equipment wear, and overhead.

No solution mentioned; the user calculates costs manually per job and does not have a tool that automatically tracks and allocates all costs (labor, equipment, drive time, overhead) to individual jobs.
