First time poster: Rock Yard DYI help requested

Bought a house in California where water & maintenance is more expensive.
Decided to go with a rock yard of only 1,300 sqft.
The bids I’ve been getting are $12-25K.
I figure I can do it myself by spending a faction of that on tools.
I got 20 tons of rocks in my future, is this something a married man with a 3 year old kid do by himself?
Has anyone here done it before? Steps are fairly simple right? Dig and level 3 inches of soil, barrier & chicken wire, outline with trim, dump rocks & spread, right?
For plants, invert a plastic flower pot, mulch and plant/seed.
Materials & tools $4,000.
Not seeing how labor is $8-21K for 40 hours of work.
But I’m smart enough to know I think I’m smart.
What am I missing?
