Best idea. Rocks are expensive.

Like it’s done in The Big House! Place a few stones in a pants pocket that has a hole in the bottom. Go for a walk and distribute the “rocks” along the street. Worked in Shawshank

I just got 25 buckets of free rocks, because I saw an ad for them, on Nextdoor.

Call ARC to confirm but if you are changing the landscape back to the original design then you likely do not need to approval. I did the same in the back and that is what they told me. I found little trouble getting someone to take them from me on Nextdoor

Try to post a picture so people know what color they are, and how large an area.

Run a Classified Ad in "Talk of the Villages" and include a picture of the rocks so that people are aware of the rock's color. People will come over to your house and remove them from your beds for you if that is OK with you.

After reading about them on here, he will probably get lots of offers and probably won't have to lift a finger to get rid of them...

Thanks for all the advice Especially the ARC, I hadn't considered that. I have a taker but if it doesn't work out I'll reach out to some of the other folks who were interested.

You’re assuming ARC approval was obtained for the initial install
