Free gravel is so busted compared to the rest. Gravel’s one of those things that you don’t need often, but someone in any town on any given day will need some.
You could undercut every single other gravel business. Even if the competitions lowers their prices dramatically, they can’t go lower than their costs. Meanwhile, you have absolutely no costs on material. Gravel monopoly.
Ah, the ancient proverb. “May thine abode be buried so significantly in granite that thy’ll required services of a feline predator to findeth thou stoop.”
To be fair, I think AESOP might have written a few stranger things.
I imagine this working in a monkey’s paw kind of way. First, the local gravel suppliers just keep mis-delivering things to places where you happen to be. Then they start talking and figure out how to get rid of you so you stop costing them so much business. You survive, skip town, only to start again. You get incredibly wealthy from re-selling all this free gravel. Eventually, mountaintops start dissapearing due to all the illegal quarrying going on…
Bet I could retire in a year, two at the outside. Have customers pick up at deep discount until I could get a pair of heavy trucks and drivers, pure gravy from there on out.

If there are no limits of scale or delivery, i think it’s OP.
cut me off? I’m gonna follow you at a disance and summon 50 tons of gravel around your car.
File an HOA complaint on me? You’re going to need a bobcat to find your front door.
Can i summon it anywhere without going there? You know how hard it is to get rid of gravel?
I forgot that was a brand of front loaders for a second, and my brain went on a whole trip trying to figure why you’d need a bobcat.

Not to mention the transport cost, and the usefulness of gravel as fill material on major building and infrastructure projects.
