The dig board
Nothing gets augered until four things clear, and every one of them has a date.
Zaras for Fencing
Property lines, approvals, and post holes that all have to clear before a crew leaves the yard.
The year does not ramp for a fence crew, it opens — the auger is what waits on frozen ground, not the phone. Estimates, locates, and approvals keep running all winter so the line is ready to dig the week the ground turns.
What carries season to season: the locate ticket the property line the footing depth.
A fresh locate ticket, a line walked with the neighbour, and a gate reset — three different jobs, one operating record.
Locate marks back
Paint and flags in the yard, the ticket’s expiry sitting on the job instead of a whiteboard, the dig scheduled inside it.
Gate post reset
A return on a sagging gate, footing depth checked against what this jurisdiction requires before the post goes back in.
Fencing money comes from two engines — the paperwork that clears the ground, and the line that gets sold and built on it. Zaras runs both from the same record.
Nothing gets augered until four things clear, and every one of them has a date.
What actually gets sold: measured line, openings, and material.
The record, not the clipboard — every job from the locate to paid, with nothing re-keyed into a second system.
Locate ticket tracking — tracked to its own expiry, so a stale mark never gets dug on.
Permit and HOA approval tracking — attached to the job before a crew is scheduled, not chased after the fact.
Property-line and survey records — pins, setbacks, and what the neighbour agreed to, on the job for good.
Linear-foot estimates with gates itemised — every opening priced as its own line, not folded into a per-foot guess.
Material and style selections — wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental recorded once, ordered without a re-ask.
Footing-depth standards by jurisdiction — recorded once per jurisdiction and reused on every job in it.
Deposits and install scheduling — collected on approval, the crew and the auger booked from the same record.
Invoicing, payments, QuickBooks sync — billing pulls straight from the record the locate ticket or the estimate opened, no separate system to reconcile.
Locate → line → dig → set → paid — every fence job, one record.
