If you are googling it the correct name is Russo's Dirt Cheap, they do deliver bulk landscape rocks (think gravel).

We used a 5 X 8' trailer to get our 11,000 pounds of stone (decorative gravel). It took several trips, we took our time.

For the first 4,000 pounds we didn't have our landscaping equipment so I ferried the stone from the trailer to the shrub beds by five gallon buckets. Later, I used a wheelbarrow. I mention this to illustrate that it can be done as a DIY project with virtually no tools.

I did see one gentleman loading small buckets of stone in buckets in this minivan at Russo's

We saved thousands of dollars, I can't say it was fun but it sure gives us a sense of accomplishment.
