Donna, just to confirm what JohnN said: I was told that Dirt Cheap on 441 North of the Villages (east side) supplies all the landscapers with rock, and then they sell it to you. So I went there to choose my rock. They have a vast selection and it helps to go there and view all the piles of rock when you are making a decision. They have some really neat choices.

Instead of using a landscaper to deliver and install the rock, I used Zack at Have Rock will Roll. He is a nice young man, did a great job, and it was less expensive than having a landscaper do it.

I much prefer rock instead of mulch. I think it looks nicer, discourages termites in the area close to the house, and lasts forever.
