    Hi, can anybody help with this? I'd like a place with huge quantities of driftwood and stones for me to pick and choose. Thanks for the help.

    Thats the one - Mainland at Farmway 1.
    Remember to check the back also .. not just those displayed at the shop front.

    Happy hunting.

    I bought mine from Teo's. They have a good selection of big, small, medium DWs, however take note of the footnote I left.

    Comes with free ants, termites, woodlouse colonies and sometimes spiders.
    visit my photo albums @ flickr!

    Its at Pasir Ris Farmway 2.
    Turn left at the junction before you hit Mainland, if you exit from TPE.

    Drive all the way from Farmway 2 to Farmway 3... It will be on your right if you are on the right track. Btw, this is for directions to APP farm... THe logo of the entrance has a mermaid on it...

    Tropical farm has closed their retail section, so don't need to search!

    Phee Huan is a company that specialises in rocks/pebbles/stones and occassionally you may find driftwoods as well. They are located at 40 Jalan Lekar, same road as Qian Hu. Stuffs they sell are mainly for construction and garden landscape.

    Believe me their price is the lowest in town. $10 for a pack of 25kg sand. However don't expect it to look like those from LFS. The sand they sell are raw harvested from rivers and beach and packed in gunny sacks. Word of caution if you intend to use these - choose only those that are polished or shiny looking as these don't leech.

    Thanks alan, very good information. I always find that our LFS do not keep enough stock of rocks and wood, mainly because they take up space. Your post is timely, I have been diverting my search for rocks to garden landscape sellers.
