Landscape Rocks

I love rock walls. We have tons of these in the northeast, and dh is building several as part of our landscape. We have lots of rocks! Tons of rocks... we're right in the middle of what used to be coal company land. The rocks, however plentiful, are just plain rocks. I found this site that sells artificial rocks that have address plaques in them. They look pretty good on the site. The photos they have of their products from the Artificial Rocks Factory look very realistic.


I know how heavy rocks can be- at least those that I've had to move via wheelbarrow just to get one small patch of grass... There are plenty of times when I wish that they were TV rocks - the kind you can just pick up and move! These artificial rocks are mostly between 50 and 60 pounds. We had a rock in the yard in our old house... that beast was heavy! We moved it once, and that was it!! We found it in the house when we remodeled. It appeared to have been a large hearth stone. When we ripped the kitchen apart (and found the floor rotted and in need of replacement) the stone ended up in the basement. Not our doing. It just kind of ended up there. We had to pull it out with a winch and a car! It was a great rock, but man... I would have much rather had a 50lb rock to move!

Oh... and what a great idea. Photo props. These would be great to use for taking 'natural' shots in the studio. They have tree stumps. I'd love to create a woody 'fairy' set, and a tree stump would be perfect for that. I have wood all over the place in the yard, but that would get a bit messy, I think.

I may have to tell my brother about this site. He'd like a big rock for his front yard, but doesn't want to pay for a huge bolder to be brought in. This might be the perfect solution.
