The best and most realistic I've seen, including watefalls, splash blocks,
garden decor, etc. came from Urdl's in Delray Beach, FL. Their website is
http://www.urdls.com/. Their stuff is neither cheap nor light-weight, but
very realistic -- they use some type of morter mix, poured into forms made
from real rock formations, then plumbed for use as waterfalls. If you're
not in South/Central Florida, shipping might be expensive, but if you can
see their work you'll be impressed.

With any water feature you'll have a problem with algae, and in my
experience, the light-weight faux rocks are like lava-rocks, with open
surfaces that are very hard to clean. I had two Urdl waterfalls in another
house and they held up well for many years.

Searching for comments on faux rocks used in landscaping.

I would like to build a waterfall by my pool from a light(er) weight
material than fieldstone rocks. I've seen some of these prefab units
onloine but never in person.

Comments on their loks ? durability ? other comments ?

Thanks--
