removing rocks
 

I'm planning to remove the rock garden in front of my house. Thinking of doing it myself. Does anyone know how I would dispose of the rocks?
Thanks

Pile them at the end of your driveway with a sign that says "FREE."

That would get rid of lots of them quickly

OP, also depending on what you are doing you will probably need ARC approval for your changes. I went through this when we went from pine straw to stone and ARC approval was required in our CDD, be sure to check.

Best to get ARC approval it is easy and free. Putting them on your driveway with a sign probably would work. If you don't want that, then post here with a photo and when they will be available. I am sure some one will want to get them to add to their own already installed.

Then after a couple days if their still there, put a $50.00 sign on them.
They will be gone by sun up.........LOL

So to answer your question, and not belabor the constant "ARC" suggestions, if you can fit the stone in your vehicle, you can take to the landfill off of Moyer Loop. You'll spend $29.20. Or, you can take a trip to the Sumter County Landfill (Bushnell), and spend far less. Lastly, if you don't want to have to mess with loading and hauling, let me know and I'll give you the name of a crew I use for this type of work.

Careful moving rocks, slithery things love rocks

Or sign that says "do not steal" etc

If they are less than 40#s I will pick them up.

Idea for you
 

Not sure what your rock garden looks like but this could work for you. When we changed all the rocks around our house we drove around our neighborhood and knocked on all doors that had same rocks and told them what we were doing. Shoveled them to end of our driveway and they came by with shovels and buckets and they were gone in a day and very appreciative.
If big rocks look for landscaping guys……sure they would love them

Neighbor posted a notice on FB Marketplace for free rocks if you come and get them. A contractor came with a trailer and shoveled them away. They did the work and used them on another project. Great way to recycle.

What’s wrong with the rocks did they quit growing? :bigbow:

I would not rely on remarks made on this site - why not call your district office and get the RIGHT info??

We used Whole Nine Yards to take them away. 352-203-8410

If u send me me a private message or call me so I can come by and see what you have I might want them all and would have my handyman take them off your driveway and bring them over for me.. Thanks so very much

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.

Have a garage sale that work for me

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

I posted on this site bricks for free. First come, they are yours. Gone by next day !

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

Run a Ad in "Talk of the Villages"
 

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.

What kind? River rocks??

Rocks
 

What kind of rocks are they as we are in need of some & we could remove them for you? Thank you!

Rocks
 

Give them to your neighbors

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

Rock removal
 

Once you have ARC approval, post free rocks on one of TV sites. Let the receiver come and collect them! Couldn't be simpler! Someone will take you up on the offer and you don't need to lift a finger. Be sure to tell them to bring a pickup or buckets.

Free pile in driveway or put it for free on here. Post a pic if them.. I have a yard to redo and put rock in soon. Lol. Good luck.

"Slithery things" are everywhere in Florida - in the rocks, in the grass, in bushes and trees, and in the water.

I wondered, myself, about what is wrong with the rocks? If someone is moving a rock garden in order to replace it with grass - I would disagree with the logic and concept. Grass close to the house would attract more insects than the rocks. And grass has to be mowed and fertilized, whereas rocks do not. To me, a yard with a rock garden or rock circles around trees or shrubs is aesthetically more pleasing to the eye than ordinary grass. Many home lots with ALL grass and few plants or rocks are very plain and boring to me. That is just my opinion, but I would be interested to hear the counter-opinion, where someone would extoll the benefits of a plain, all grass yard. Just curious.

Have a garage sale with seniors as salespeople

Please clarify your rocks LOL
Are you talking about stone, or large rocks? Big difference.

The OP was looking for ways to dispose rocks, not opinions on what should I do aesthetically.
