Not necessarily.

The best analogy I can think of, it's like the folks you see advertising "free palm trees" ... come take it out of ground, do it neatly, refill the hole and re-seed my lawn".

Does it work for both parties? Sometimes, I suppose it does.

In the case of the free stone, the Contractor has to move it 25 miles. That's a lot of transportation.

& not to put too fine a point on it, but the Developer is not known for his largesse.
