Masuko Landscaping creates faux rock installations for slope terracing, retaining walls, swimming pool retrofits, and outcroppings.

Masuko Landscaping is expert in the use of faux rock, which can solve a multitude of difficult landscaping problems.

Using faux rock is often easier and less expensive to build than installing real rock formations. By using faux rock or combining faux rock with real rock to build large formations, we avoid the necessity of using major placing machinery and incurring other installation costs. Careful rock shaping is done at the formation stage. Texturing and painting are added by hand to create a natural, seamless look.

Frequently Asked Questions about Faux Rock

Q:  What is faux rock?

A:  Faux rock can be also called fake, manufactured, artificial, etc. Actually faux rock is made from mortar using a fill technique. The rock is textured then painted by hand rather than machine sprayed and formed.

Q:  Is it strong enough to stand on?

A:  Faux rock has identical characteristics as real rock: density, structural integrity, and appearance. Sealing the rock insures lasting durability.

Q:  Why would I use faux rock?

A:  Installation is done on site rather than brought from a rockery and installed. Large pieces can be formed with better fluidity than 'fitting' pieces to the waterscape.

Q:  Is there a cost savings in using faux rock?

A:  Yes. There are savings in the following areas: rock tonnage, transport, installation, job access.
