Between A Rock and Hard Place

One of my neighbors has this HUGE rock in their yard. What sets it apart from the other boulders is that they have their family name engraved or chipped into it. I think it looks so cool sitting there. Timeless looking almost. I have often wondered where and the cost of getting such a rock. Of course I would like to have all my children's names on it. Have to wait until the last girl is married to do that

I have finally found a place that produces these boulders and it's on line! The Artificial Rocks Factory carries all types of these decorative boulders for your yard or patio. There are four models of realistic fake rocks to choose from that look amazingly real. The four models is for the name plaque type. In fact they actually have 20 models of other styles and shapes to choose from! I wanted to clarify that.

Not to mention they are replicas of real 800-1000 ton boulders but they only weigh in at 50-60 pounds so you are able to move them around better. Made of a construction grade cast stone they are suitable for any type of weather. A point worthy of mention about the address or name plaque for those that are worried someone might pick this up and take it. Each of the address and name boulders are fitted with an anti theft metal eye bolt so you can leave that worry behind!

I was looking at the various styles and models and I really liked the AB16 shape. I have boys and I know they would attempt to climb on it. So I liked the flatter top surface. You can choose between three colors that match the decor of your yard. I would choose the red rock since the front yard has the red mulch around the front of the house for the flower beds. I think that would blend in really nicely.


If you are thinking "Wow! What a great Christmas gift!" you should know that you must place your order no later than Dec. 13 for Christmas delivery. This would certainly be a talked about gift, year after year.

Cost wise. Not to bad for what you are getting. Checkprices on the site. There is even an online catalog that you are able to print out. Plus there is so much information relating to their product that I think they covered everything and anything that a customer would ask about these products.

I bookmarked the site for future reference. Since it is winter here I wont be working in the yard until Spring so I wanted to make sure that I saved this site until then!

If you want your yard to stand out above the crowd, I would suggest a boulder with your name or address imprinted on it. Looks very smart and practical too!
