💩 Why it's ugly

It sounds cheerful until you are measuring head entrapment gaps in the sun while a mulch bed judges you. The work is liability paperwork disguised as childhood.

💰 Why it prints money

Schools, parks, HOAs, childcare centers, churches, and apartment complexes need inspections to reduce risk and satisfy insurers. The buyer is paying for documentation before an injury turns into a very expensive meeting.

🗺️ 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.
