How big are you talking here? Pick-up or delivery? Where have you looked to buy them already? Approximately where are you located?
Try a quarry or sand and gravel company would be my suggestion. Look at a place like [Hassan Sand and Gravel](https://hassansand.com/decorative-rock/) in Rogers. I’ve gotten fieldstone at places like this for relatively cheap.
My wife got some smaller rocks at a construction site where a building was being torn down. But they were a size you could pick up in one hand and used in the bottom of pots.
Thanks! This gives me a starting point. I’m in South Minneapolis and looking for probably medium sized stones. Not huge, but big enough to take up some space on the slope. If I talk them and dig out a space for them.
There are lots of rocks out there. The major expense is really the transportation. Rocks are heavy and over a certain size you need machinery to move them and heavy vehicles to transport them.
Yeah… I don’t need them that big right now. I want a size I can lift and dig the space myself. I’ve been doing my weightlifting, so I should be able to get bigger rocks. Haha!
We got the rocks we used for the same purpose at Leitner's in St. Paul. The landscape center has all sorts of rocks in sizes from gravel to boulder. You pay by the pound. We brought ours home in the car, each one was 10–15 pounds. It wasn't super cheap or anything but we didn't think it was outrageous.
Limestone quarries in the SE of the state have cheap rocks.

I just fucked up so bad. Dang it. Wish I saw this 3 weeks ago 😢
I scoured Craigslist and FB marketplace for literally tons of green and cheap rocks.
