Local rock sellers?

[Demasonian]

Hey - In the past, I've acquired most of my rock the old fashioned way, straight out of the ground. Now, however, I'm looking for a specific rock shape and I'm wondering if anyone here has had any luck purchasing rock from a local landscaper or garden centre. What I need are several large (6 inches in diameter) rounded rocks and a bunch of smaller ones (fist sized would be great). I figured I'd check in here before I start driving all over town looking for them.

Thanks.

Check out Artistic Design off Bank near the South Keys Plaza.  They have lots of rock.  You can just drive into the lot and take a look at the stuff in the yard.  I've bought flagstone off them, but have thought their stone would look great in a tank.  I know they have various sizes of rounded stones, starting at gravel size and heading up.

Thanks, Laura. I appreciate the suggestion. I'll take a look tomorrow and post what I find.

I was able to get exactly what I was looking for at Artistic Design...1 40kg bag of river rock ranging in size from 2-6 inches for $8.99. They also had some larger individual stones which I may head back for.

Thanks again.

You can get that rock at Home depot and it might have been cheaper then Artistic on the other side of the road.

You're not supposed to tell me that AFTER I already purchased it...

When I looked, HD carried bags of river rock which ranged from 0.75" to 1.25" for I think $3.99. I bought a bag of that too...
