Looking for Field Stones

[Mr.Plow]

Well, my wife has me doing landscaping and i am looking for field stones (6"-9"). Any one in the Spruce Grove area have some that they want to get ride of? This is only somewhat related to sledding but if i don't get this job done soon i will be on the S%$# list when the snow fly's.

PM me if someone (farmer or landowner) has field stones that they are looking at getting ride of. Willing to drive and pick up.

Got lots fer ya, could be a bit of a trip tho :d

Come on down. You pick them, you can have them. I know of a few good places where you could start. Saves me having to go out in the spring and pick them...

probably get a better response if you went into the farmer talk thread. Just sayin'

Maybe river rock would be easier to collect....just a suggestion. I guess it depends on the "landscaping project" but maybe larger mountain rock would also work. Just throwing things out there....

Alberta Rock Products is where I have gone in the past... Just west and north of Stony... They used to fill the back of your half ton for about $40...

the wife and I spend a saturday driving south of spruce grove and dident see a single pile close to the road. You wouldent think that finding rocks would be so much work. does any one know of a farmer who is around Spruce Grove AB who has a rock pile that i can raid???

 

[magnet]

try going for a drive north of keephills along the river should be lots of piles out there. always see them but cant remember where any of them are now lol

 

[Mr.Plow]

Sounds great, thanks for the info.

 

[TROLLCAT]

just wait for the first snow fall
take your sled for a ride and when it stops you have found said rock pile

 

[gm3d]

Don't do it. We did the same thing, and what a pile of work. Really.... gotta keep the boss happy. We got two rock that weight about 4500#-5000# each. What a trailer load!!! Sorry, the place were I got these ones is not available anymore.(New owners) Good luck

Thanks for the offer, will talk to the "boss" and get back to you.

From Secondary 627, if you were to travel South on RR33 (by Keephills) down to the River, there is a Parkland County gravel pit. You can access the river there and you will find all the river stones / field stones you want. Its all pit run down there. Another option for you anyways.

[Mr.Plow]

How many you need?

I am looking for about one load with a pickup.
