I wish I was young too, I landscaped my entire yard with over 100 shrubs back in Baltimore, but that's no longer something I want to do. I know landscapers don't pay retail, in fact Terrascape has their own nursery on Hwy 301. However, it was 10 tons of rocks, and I just looked up river rock and it's about $125 to $160 a ton. In fact I just hired them yesterday to do a refresh of the front yard, they're one of the top landscapers in TV. The actual price wasn't correct either, I forgot that included a small European Fan Palm, which they installed.
