Can also check at garden centers and Home Depot type stores for a better price for a larger quantity.  Mine also sometimes let you choose by color and size of stone.


@Still Raining. Gravel in landscaping is so popular in New Mexico, we have a rock company where you can choose from huge piles of various types.  Of course most people order dump truck loads.

 

So I went in one day, a bit embarrassed,  with my five gallon bucket and ask if I could buy a bucket full.  She said, "sure" and charged me $1.  I went and picked what I wanted and filled my bucket.

@Biftu - And this may already have occurred to you, but just in case you haven't thought about it yet, no matter what you add to the urn to support the tree, you can easily cover it with a mini tree skirt (or just fabric) or some fake snow or anything that goes with your decor—you don't have to stare at a pile of rocks under your tree.  Smiley Happy

I know some one, who shall be nameless 🙄, who searches for the color to match his front gate stone pillars.  Just a couple of pounds to blend at their base.

The stones are basically dirt color IMHO.
