attention to detail
 
Landscape design which utilizes faux rock works best when the rock formations are indistinguishable from natural rock formations. In fact, rock might be the only aspect of the design which appears as totally natural since the plants and other elements of the landscape usually follow a more contrived theme to achieve the goals of the design.
   

Attention to detail is
the factor which most characterizes our work.

When we set out to locate natural rock from which to make molds, the first concern is that the rocks will make an interesting and beautiful statement in a rockwork design. The fact is that most rocks in nature aren't particularly what we would want in our landscape. It's only those special rock formations that are unusually dramatic that we make molds from.

What we usually do is survey the site and the surrounding area, sometimes even miles away. We find rock formations in the area, then simply transform the most aesthetic portions of the naturally occurring rock into the design of the site. The criterion on each project is, "Is this rock formation believable?"

Often projects which include faux rock look unnatural because the faux rocks appear as extrusions from the landscape which have no logical relationship to the lay of the land, much less any connection to any indigenous rock formations. Theme parks exemplify this unnatural application of faux rock, but they're not even attempting an aesthetic statement. Their rock formations are on the order of a stage set which is designed to merely approximate reality.
