The Concrete Network, the largest and most comprehensive source for concrete information, offers an online concrete water features photo gallery featuring design ideas for creating artificial rocks and boulders from concrete for waterfalls, swimming pools, and other outdoor environments.
Homeowners, landscape and swimming pool designers, and contractors are turning to faux rocks for water feature construction because of their aesthetic appeal and convenient installation process. While landscapes are often easy to alter by adding flowers and trees, today's innovative water features offer homeowners a resort-like setting right at home.
Artificial rocks made of concrete offer a multitude of design possibilities without the hassle of having to transport heavy materials, and can often be created on-site. It is clear to see that virtually any landscape can be created through decorative water features. From waterslides in the forms of rocks to fountains decorating a garden, these features can be designed to enhance any existing landscape.
These features offer long lasting durability, are versatile and require low maintenance, and are the perfect option for withstanding outdoor weather. Many of the works in these photos can be replicated and/or tailored to meet the needs of the individual, the home, and space restrictions.
The concrete photo gallery is updated every Friday offering new photos of custom and unique designs and applications. Photos for the photo gallery have been collected from contractors around the country and are for design idea purposes only.
Established in 1999, The Concrete Network's purpose is to educate consumers, builders, and contractors on popular decorative techniques and applications. These include stamped concrete, stained concrete floors, concrete countertops, polished concrete, and much more. In April 2007 The Concrete Network Web site had over one million visitors researching decorative concrete.
