Selling my rockery

It's just rubble to me!

You will probably be able to offload it for free on freecycle, but you won't be able to get money for a few rocks.

I still disagree. The stones match. If you are building a rock feature, it's better to have matching stone, rather than random pieces, picked up.....where, exactly?

As I said earlier, I had to go a considerable distance to get mine. That all cost me in time and petrol. If someone had offered some locally for £20, I'd have gone for that option.

I sold something on ebay last month that I sincerely doubted anyone would want. No one local did, but someone came from 2 counties away, so I'm £35 up, and no tricky disposal either.

Put together, the rocks would also make a good water feature - a little waterfall tumbling down into a natural pond with appropriate planting.

If you are on Facebook your local selling page. Or local gardening page.

Reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 'We are the knights who say ni and we want a shrubbery...'

Actually, rocks and large pebbles are quite expensive in our local garden centre. The biggest problem might be in transporting them. They will be pretty heavy.
As for asking the vendor to take them away, well words fail me!! They want to sell the house and garden, not just part of it.

I won't ever post a picture of my rockery on here then... It really is rubble, including some concrete bits :rotfl:. Yours is pretty fancy in comparison.

Anyway, if the previous owner liked it so much, could you contact him to suggest you're happy for him to take it?

He's too far to come down again, but I do like the idea of a water feature, something I was thinking about this morning actually.

Contrary to many others, I like the rocks, they could do with being a bit more colourful e.g. different types of granite. But for a landscaping project - especially involving a tiered waterfall to a pond could look great.


When I had landscaping done about two years ago 'rocks' I bought were maybe a quarter or third of these for about a fiver!
