Default Cheap rocks?

I like the looks of my waterfall but I checked around for prices of small
white cobblestones because I liked the looks of them....$175 for a 1/2
palette (GAK!) That's not a lot of rock. Anyone know of a cheaper
alternative? I'm in central Missouri.


When I was digging my pond, I was lucky enough to find a construction site
on my way to work. They are digging an immense hole for the foundation and
dumping the dirt on the road side. The dirst is full of beautiful sandstone
(i think). It matches the color or soil beautifully, so it looks very
natural. I am saving a bundle on the cost. I am using local stone so it
looks natural. And I guess, I am helping the construction site, as their
rocky fill, is becoming clean fill. *laugh*
