I live in Nevada, and my backyard is unfinished, it’s just desert dirt. I’d like to fill it in with rocks, maybe the pinkish red ones, nothing too nice though. How much do these cost ber bag or per pound, and where can I get them myself?

I bought 20# bags for just under $2.40 two years ago for a flower bed and it took about 30 of them for that small space. Your yard could be quite costly at that. I got mine from Home Depot.
You might talk to a local rock hauler and see if they have something similar and cheaper.
Well I agree with the one person stated get some at Home Depot or Lowes. Most of there Rocks vary in sizes and shape. However come in bags average from $2.99 to $3.99 or even some high $5.99.
So, you can also look at some of the local Landscape Rock and
Materials Yards. That have samples normally that will let you check, them out. So, then the next thing is get out a tape measure measure out the Length, and wideth: Now the best way
is Wideth X Length:
{Example: 20L X 50W= 1,000 sq.ft. Then if you want the material or rock spread at 2″ in thickness then mutiply X 2″ of the 1,000 Sq. Ft 2,000 then Divide by .27 Cub. Yard This way you then would need approximately 2.4 Cubic Yards of materials plus this also depends on size of rock 1/4″,1/2″,3/4″ etc. If the rock is 3/4″
then you may need upto 3 to 4 yrds of material so bulk purchas is better. However most bags only cover 1/3 third of what bulk may cover in sq. Footage. Plus it also depends on what your budget will handle. So, then keep eye on sales paper comes in your local newspaper also your old junk mail. The springtime brings out sales. So good Luck.
The beat thing to do is call your local Rock Yard and tell them the square footage of your back yard and see how much they will charge to deliver by the truck load that would be the best and cheapest way to fill your yard because a bag of rock, the price is crasy it`s like $8.00`s a bag yes it`s 50 pounds of rock put it only fills a real small area of yard..So i hope this will help you!!!
Landscape supply stores. They have everything from river rock and pea gravel to 10 or 20 pounders and large rock. I live in Southern California but I use a lot of rock. I started using it to keep the dog from digging and the cats from doing their business when I put in new landscaping, and I really like the way it looks. It’s not exactly cheap, but where you live you can use rock to good effect and keep your water bill manageable.
They range from a couple of Dollars a bag to 30 or 40 dollars a bag depending on where they came from or what they are made of. Home Depot or Lowe’s and just about any large garden center would have them. Limestone chips are inexpensive but sharp on your bear feet, river rock is best.
I see people all the time at night jacking them from someone elses yard. Just try that, its free and easy to get, just get a couple others to help you, and a truck.
