Landscaping boulders near me are $260 a tonne. How do these brothers afford the stone or placing of finished stone?

Here's nice footage of a big ol' stone CNC.

If you're buying rock from a landscaping business, you're paying retail. I would think they'd buy directly from a quarry.


Looking at their monastery location on Google Maps, they very well might have their own quarries.


And given they're monks, if the quarry owner is Catholic they might get an especially good deal.
