Looking for Black Lava Rock to finish a landscape project. Can't find it at any of the local retailers? I've been told by Home Depot and Lowes that this problem is...

I've been told by Home Depot and Lowes that this problem is a supplier issue (Nashville area).
Black Lava Rock will trade name your yard hotter surrounded by the summer, it's difficult to work with and really doesn't look that great. It's tricky to keep verbs, leaves, weeds and such.

You may want to find a local source of wood chips (not yap in a bag). Some tree trimming companies ever proposal it for free.
Unless the product is found locally........you hold black lava beds in 100 miles........then the cost to ship within will be a killer. Rethink..........conceivably another product will do as well.

What you want and what you can bring or afford are often different.
Answers:    you can but it over here on the internet:

or a moment ago take other entry similar to it , take some carbon and trim it into pieces , its up to you
You might want to check with a professional reshape supplier. They generally hold more "Special" sources than Home depot or Lowes. Also some upscale nurseries may be able to find it through one of thier mulch or stone suppliers.

On professional source is your local John Deere Landscapes.
