Landscape rock
 
Does anyone know a place where you can get bulk landscape rocks delivered?

What do you mean by land scape rocks? Are you talking about stones to use instead of bark or pine straw. Or are you looking for 300 pound type of rock. First , you need to know what type of rock you want. We wanted Granite and went to Dirt Cheap. Bought 3 (300#) but they do not deliver large rocks. Problem is the need to have the equipment to unload and place. They deliver and dump stones. We had our landscaper pick up, deliver and place. if you buy stones , they will deliver and dump on road. You would have to place or have the landscaper do it.

Southern Aggregate delivers, they are in Wildwood, 1-352-689-0069 (free delivery 3 yd minimum, I believe). We did our own landscaping, removed pine straw, put down the paper and then spread 6 yrds of seminole rock. Home Depot rents wheel barrels. Of course, got ARC approval first. We saved $$$.

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.
