Frequently Asked Questions
 
Why hasn't this technique seen more use?
There is a certain element of risk in the use of this technique. If the rockwork doesn't turn out well, you have a very expensive mess of concrete that is hard to repair, and in the worst case, actually detracts from the setting.
What can be done to reduce the risk?
Make sure you hire a proven designer and carver. Ask the proprietor of the rockwork company who will actually be designing and carving the work. View some of their work. Ask others about what they think of the work. Insist that you are provided with an accurate scale model of the proposed rockwork before you commit to the project. If you designer/carver can't produce an attractive scale model, what are the chances that they will be able to complete on a full scale project?
What if I don't like what I see?
Aesthetics is very hard to argue about. Once the job is done it will be very difficult to get the contractor to accept making changes. Hire a professional designer and carver who's work you like. If you like the contractor you have in mind, he stays on budget and is fast and reliable, find someone who will work with him. Peter Heiss and the Art of Rockwork have worked with many different contractors and know how to provide the right amount of guidance to get the job done.
