Smaller faux-rock features, such as ponds, can be completed in as little as 4 days. For these projects, the rock often is built off-site and transported to its final destination. For example, some companies offer a collection of artificial boulders made of glass-fiber-reinforced concrete or fiberglass that landscapers can artfully arrange around ponds and gardens. The sizes range from small (17 inches long by 9 inches tall) to massive (8 feet long by 5 feet tall). But even the largest GFRC boulder weighs less than 400 pounds. Larger rock formations, such as those required for waterfalls or spas, typically are constructed onsite. The average time required to build a faux rock water feature ranges from 3 - 20 days depending on the size. This includes the time required for the concrete to cure and the stain and sealer coats to dry. One of the benefits of onsite construction is the ability to conceal elements in the work. Landscapers can design the rock formations around plumbing fixtures, lights, speakers, and other utilities and equipment.
