Comments (9)if you were near auburn i might could steer you to some. there is a construction area down the street from where i work. they demolished a house and drained a very small lake or large pond in the back. they are currently bringing in unconsolidated material which contains quite a lot of rock of all sizes to fill this area. i was thinking that the developer would let someone pick the rock from the soil, making compaction easier and more uniform. if you are interested in driving the distance, i could call the realtor and check for you....See Morefree rock sources?
Comments (7)If your county or township Public Works has a home waste drop off point, check there. When I went to ours last year to pick up compost, I noticed the sorted piles of refuse all over the property: window glass, pressure treated lumber and bricks, concrete, rocks. The place is a gold mine of reusable stuff. Someone on another board said that they asked permission to pick up some rocks from a construction site where foundation excavation was taking place. It seems that the guys thought that was pretty funny, but they let her have the rocks. I saw a brazen act of rock stealing just the other day. There's a boarded up house by the side of a highway not far from my home; the property is being sold as a commercial site. A guy with a pickup was prying pavers out of the front yard - at rush hour!...See MoreFree Boulders/Rocks?
Comments (1)You could always drive around and see who is building near your house and unearthing a lot of rocks. I have gotten some edging rocks this way. Also from fields. I, like you, refuse to pay for rocks. However, when it comes to boulders, moving them is a problem, isn't it?...See MoreWhere to Find Cheap/Free Rocks for Gardening
Comments (23)Hello all Nice to see everyone like rocks,but if for some reason they won't suit the place l'd like to make a suggestion. I found out that at anyones local concrete manufactor when they do a new batch they never get it right,This being said "rejecks".They say people want perfect or nothing.They usally stack them way way back at the yard. They call them seconds of different grades.Example of the size I picked up 17x7x4 , .50cents each,(or by the half load or better yet full load,same price)but these were perfect(no chiped corners).You can really bartar on price if your not picking on getting a mix instead.They were crayon grey with pink granet swirls through them.I thought they were prefect!Now if you can get a few people together for a full dump truck load,you can get it delivered.Don't forget to tell them that "your"helping them free up valuable yard space!The whole truck load for about 75.00. Also if you tell them that it is just for fill it's even cheaper,Mind you it's mixed and there alot broken.My brother builds the foundation of his farm roads with the stuff.But picture this ,all types all colors,shapes and sizes.You can do mosaic patterns.Thought I'd give ya food for thought so go out there and brush up on you smooshing skills. Now-go get a deal! Purple...See Morelesleyann
