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.

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...

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....

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???

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. :) :beer:
