💩 Why it's ugly

You are moving extremely heavy objects that customers chose from a photo and then want rotated three inches. It is less dirty than soil, but much more committed.

💰 Why it prints money

Boulders, flagstone, river rock, and decorative aggregates are expensive to deliver because weight, access, and equipment matter. Homeowners and landscapers pay for sourcing, placement, and not destroying the driveway.

🗺️ 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.
