The land on which RT and I built our new house is very rocky.  VERY rocky.  One of the biggest jobs in grading the land so we could start building the house was getting all the rocks out of the way.  Ron eventually build me a beautiful flower bed with some of the rocks - moving them with a skid-steer.  Everyone knows that rocks are heavy, but I never realized just HOW heavy until we started working with some of the rocks we uncovered on this land.  While they’re undeniably heavy, they are also undeniably beautiful.

One of the next things we want to do to make the place look classy is to work on the entrance to the driveway.  We’d like to have the address engraved on a rock next to the entrance.   However, the idea of trying to work with a rock that weighs 1000+ pounds is daunting, to say the least.  Fortunately, we don’t have to.

 Artificial Rocks Factory has artificial rocks - with the molds taken from real rocks - available for address plaques or welcome signs.  In addition to being attractive and adding to the beauty of a home, address plaques also are helpful for friends and family to find your home, and they’re invaluable for emergency vehicles, too.  Of course you could put your address on a mailbox or over the door, but having it on a rock really gives your home or business a unique and classy look.  The rocks from Artificial Rocks Factory look like natural rocks because they’re made from construction grade cast stone - not from fiberglass or polyurethane.  They offer twenty different models of boulders that are approximately one-inch thick, hollow in the middle and open at the bottom.  The four models with the best looking and most appropriate front are used for address and welcome plaques. Customers can pick any of these four models with a custom rustproof cast aluminum ivy oval address plaque or address sign for up to five 3″ characters (numbers or capitalized letters) or up to seven 2″ characters (numbers or capitalized letters) in gold on a black background. The boulders are available in three natural looking colors, and they’re shipped to your doorsteps via FedEx Ground.

Now, what a unique and wonderful Christmas present these would make!  However, if you want to get them for Christmas gifts, you’d better click over to the website soon and check them out because the last day to order them for Christmas delivery is November 29th.  A rock with a “welcome” plaque will be delivered more quickly than the customized ones.
