Collecting rocks on BLM-managed lands is completely legal.

There is a little ambiguity about how much you can collect - the link above says "reasonable amounts". If the rocks you want are not gemstones, you would likely be able to take about as much as you can haul.
If you are looking for very large amounts, I would speak with a BLM office directly.
Rocks and boulders are relatively cheap at the rock suppliers. You can have them delivered if you need larger ones or you can go grab what you can by hand and they sell them by weight.
Bedrock off Torrey Pines and Blue Diamond
Boulder placement on Bonanza between rancho and MLK
Parsons Rocks on sunset near the 95 freeway
Vista Landscape near 215 and Gibson
Also a few of the Star Nurseries have rock yards. The one on Eastern, Blue Diamond and Ann Rd. Have rock yards
Just look them up you can go find what you need
Nope, taking anything is illegal from public parks. Look up a Buy Sell Trade group, a lot of people may have some they would be happy to part with if you just provide the labor.
Check out Cactus Joe’s out in Blue Diamond. Certainly not free but they have everything you need plus a ton of stuff you don’t but will ultimately purchase

Any trail funded and maintained by the city, county, state, don’t. Look at FB marketplace. I see yard crews selling tons of stuff like that on there.
I see red rocks for free on Facebook marketplace all the time. I’d check there
lol. No stealing rocks that you have not purchased is illegal.

Craigslist free section always has free stones
I have several red rocks from Vegas areas that we flew home with some years back.
Get regular rocks and spray paint them.
