land_lubber Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Anyone know where I can pick up some river rocks from around South Auckland? I need some biggish ones for my tank. Been looking around on the net but can't find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Not exactly South Auckland but Stone and Water World in Mt Eden has an excellent selection, about 10mins off the motorway and heaps to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarletmonuka Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I was going to sugest going to look at a river but then again i guess there isn't really any around the auckland area. I guess this is where someone tells me its against the law.. but i also take it you're not talking about a trailer load. Taking the odd rock from the river (at least IMO) isn't anything bad.

land_lubber Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah I only need a few biggish ones so not a whole lot. I'll go check out Stone and Water World in the weekend and they only charge 40c/kg so not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Central Landscaping Supplies are great and they have branches throughout Auckland. I usually go to this place http://www.nzlandscape.co.nz/ (used to belong to the franchise) and they have the same selection as Central Landscaping. If you only need a few stones, just go to the shop and tell them you want to pick a few and pay for them, then they leave you to hunt about and then charge something they think is reasonable. A couple of times I've been sent off with a chuckle that they can't charge me for such a small amount of stones, and sometimes I've paid maybe $5 total.
