Stacked Stone Landscape Artwork, Monmouth County New Jersey
( http://www.bjlaquascapes.com/stacked-stonework.html ) Stone masonry originated with dry-stacked stonework where the walls are carefully layer up without mortar. Gravity serves as the glue that holds everything together. Free-standing dry-stack stone walls are usually made larger at the base and then taper in slowly as the height increases. For absolutely no expense but the labor, farmers built miles upon miles of stone fences this way in Ireland and in the northeastern states. BJL Aquascapes started in the pond world, and as our stacked stonestyle developed, we started incorporating stacked stone into our ponds and waterfalls. When building waterfalls, we use Aquascape Inc's waterfall foam to spray behind our boulders to create a barrier to make the water flow over the rocks, as opposed to under them. When we install stacked stone in the waterfalls, we used the foam to "Glue" the rocks together, so that during the cold winter months, the ice on the waterfalls does not ruin the stonework. This process has proven to be a great way to add incredible amounts of strength and detail to our creations, so naturally we expanded into applying this process into our landscape installations.

I have to agree with Madelyn! When I saw the heading on this post, I burst out laughing. We used to live in Monmouth County, and when we bought a house in Morris County (with the property over-loaded with rocks), people begged us to bring down as many as we could. There just aren't many rocks (especially large ones) down there...at least near the Ocean County line. I see these probably came from a company that sells them, so it makes more sense. ;o)

Seriously, the built in lighting is too impressive. But the landscaping in the first pic with car can be improved a bit more which could give a better look for that driveway area and makes it look good for the guests. Tha gate work was really done well and it impressed me too well. Right said Madelyn, the car is something which everybody is eying on to.
