Ah, ya jogged my memory which friend I had who sold stones! Well, boulders... One of my friends & neighbors is an old farmer. He's built a good business salvaging old houses and selling restoration supplies. From those contacts...he digs up boulders from a landfill where he helped his father dump them in the 1940s when they finally got equipment big enough to move them out of the fields. Sells them down into Fairfield County (The Gold Coast) to be put on lawns. Tree farm on the other side of me routinely digs up their fields to harvest the particularly nice "Brooklyn Flat Stone" this part of town is known for. Plant more christmas trees, in 10 or 15 years when they're all sold off...dig up the field again before the next crop goes in.
