💩 Why it's ugly

The product is gravel, fencing, locks, and people arguing about where a skid steer is allowed to sit. Nobody posts inspirational content about managing mud, trailers, and chain-link gates.

💰 Why it prints money

Small contractors often outgrow home driveways before they can afford their own industrial yard. Monthly rents are sticky, tenants bring their own equipment, and a basic secure lot can be divided into many rentable bays.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
