Company Profile

We have six U.S. design patents because we are detailed oriented and place great emphasis on design. All of our designs begin with this premise: Nature demonstrates a never-ending cycle of decay and transformation. We represent this natural cycle by visually communicating natural processes like geomorphous, talus breaks, moss and lichen growth, wind and water gaps, etc. After we infuse our walls with life - plants in planting crevices, vines, raw earth, and organic colorants - the critical viewer's disbelief is thereby suspended.

You determine exactly how detailed you want your artificial rock work and we will add those features. The more you decide to invest, the more convincing your final installation will be. Our cast rock features often originate from casts taken directly from rock- precisely as it is found in nature. Every fissure, shelf, and crevice translates to reflect a photocopied exactness. We use five different processes to create this effect. Perhaps the first step is for us to determine which one of those five will give you the most value for your dollar.
  
Moreover, we have developed a system of mineral/oxide patination to intrinsically patina our cast rock products. This premium quality final stage is available as an upgrade option for all of our products. The color becomes an integral part of the artificial rock that far surpasses the antiquated system of applied color. This, coupled with heating and cooling, flaking, chipping, and simulated erosion produces a naturalistic product that is second to none...

"...I found your work to be visually compelling, thoughtful, creative, and technically accomplished."
    
"...the Paleontology Department at the National Museum of Natural History might be interested in it for possible carbon dating."
        - Bob Allen, Chief of Production and Publications, Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C.

"This seems to be a remarkable project, I'm glad to have such a Balladian object in our possession."
   
"We could put the "fossil" at the bottom of a tree-spade hole, about six feet under... should be safe for the millennium."
        - Kathryn Graves with Johnson Atelier and Grounds for Sculpture, sculpture park; Hamilton, NJ.
