There may be a few, but it's hard to give advice with a request so broad - are there specifics you're looking for answers to?

Do u plan on delivering your products or just a pick up yard? are u by a barge site or rail to receive stock? not everything is cost effective to truck.barge loads of mulch,rail cars for stone especially for the amount you need in stock.(YOU SHOULD NEVER RUN OUT OF MULCH ........NEVER) are u planning to purchase your stock direct. i hope so no room in this stuff for middle men. and i hope your deep with your banker in this biz its nothing to have 200k in stock........I hope this dosent surprise you or discourage in any way its a great biz. margins are better on the retail market but the landscapers trade is day in and day out. by the way were open 7 days a week. i recommend the same
