Jeff,

We're farther south than you (zone 5) most of our hardscape material comes from Missouri except for ca-5 river rock which is local. I'd be interested in hearing about any new supplier's you may run across.

I'm in central ILL. and most of my suppliers get boulders and flagstone out of Quarries in Wis. such as Eden Stone in Eden and Valders Stone, also Halquist I believe. River rock comes out of the Ottawa/Lasalle ILL area.
