Sorry, I just sold my "beefy truck" which was a grand caravan and could only
hold about 500 pounds worth before becoming a little tipsy at speed.

Now im down to renting a truck from somewhere just to get 10 bags of mulch
and a couple dozen boulders. Hopefully some local company has already driven
up by you , picked up what I need, and will sell me said items for a
reasonable profit! I bet not...

If all else fails, drive some 40 miles north to my area and pick all the
rocks you want for free!
My area being Rancho Cucamonga (Alta Loma to be specific. North of the
Ontario Airport.)

You will need 3 or 4 manly men, a heavy duty truck, and some kind of
implement to move rocks from ground on to your beefy truck!

Thompson's has a good selection natural rock. 405 south to the Harbor
freeway. South on the Harbor freeway to PCH. Thompson's is on PCH at
the
Harbor freeway on the East side of the Harbor freeway on the south
side
of
PCH.

Lowes has a limited selection of natural paving rock that may suit
your
needs.

Greetings,

Im new to the group, Ive kept koi in small ponds for around 15
years,
but
recently took the plunge, heh heh, and dug myself a 600 or so gallon
flexible liner pond. Fortunately my climate makes this a year round
hobby
and Im looking forward to that.

Right now I am using seed water from the old pond, and a barrel
style
trickle bio ball filter which ran in my old 100 gallon pond for
several
weeks, so I anticipate the new pond to have its bio system up very
quickly.
I added 4 small koi which inhabited my old pond but wont add
additional
fish
for several weeks.

Anyway, on to my question, can any fellow pond o philes suggest a
local
source ( Long Beach area) for landscaping rock? I need at least 50
or
so
natural boulder rocks for my pond borders and waterfall
construction.
Im
planning to surround the back and sides with natural rock border and
the
front edge with flagstones. Then build up a waterfall area ,
probably
without mortar to camoflage my filter unit which connects to the
pond
via
a
5 gallon pre formed streambed section which I will also fill and
hide
with
boulders and rock.

Thanks for your help
