If you are referencing the rather craggy large rocks, I got mine from Brandon's Landscaping as part of my design. Cannot tell you the price as it was inclusive in the whole package. However, I have seen them at the Brownwood Farmers Market on Saturday mornings and also on the south side of Rte 466A just east of The Villages. Hope you find what you are seeking!

I know that Village Palms has a whole yard full, you might call them and ask if they are available for individual sale.

I imagine large rocks would sell by the pound, anywhere you go. Some kinds of rock are denser/heavier than others. Some are indigenous to this area, some are imported from other states.

There is also a place called Dirt Cheap that you might have luck at.
I love rocks.

If you drive east on 466a, about 3/4 mile from colony is a farm with a sign on the front lawn...rocks for sale.

I believe there is a place down on SR 44 south of The Villages heading towards Leesville that also sells them. I could be thinking of somewhere else, but I don't think so.
