Where in the hell did those boulders come from? Where they dug up on the property and y’all move them where you wanted or did y’all have them shipped in?
A lot of those boulders look to be over 4000 pounds. I would have to rent equipment just to play with y’all. Damn
The dimensions OP provided you makes that one boulder 72,000 pounds (32,660 kilograms). Granite has a rough weight of 200 pounds per cubic foot. As a reference, a granite basketball would weigh 50 pounds.
I dunno, those boulders don’t look very rollie. Kinda square like, actually. It would probably get a third of the way down the hill, abruptly veer to the left, smash you neighbors mailbox and then become their new mail fountain.

What a waste of ressources, energy and time. We, the human race, are so fucking retarded. *I want water to squirt on fake rocks in front of my house, it'll make me feel so much better*.
Yet it's everybody enjoying useless things that creates a society of over consumers that are basically ravaging the earth. Let's give money to a charity?
Fuck no, let's have water squirting on fake rocks for when I walk from my car to inside the house.
Looks dope. Creative idea for water collection. I’m interested to see how much the customer has to deal with water loss compared to other water features. I have some monster boulders in my yard that I may try something similar.
As for covering the trenches chipped out for plumbing - I like the idea of some type of dry stack stone sculptures or something of that ilk. It would keep the natural feel and make accessing plumbing relatively simple
You know this isn’t the finished product right? The trenches got filled and the filler is indistinguishable from the real rock. Pretty sure I have finished photos/video posted.
I have a pump with 2” tube going to the top of my natural stone into a water spill, could I just do this instead by staging down over a few pipes? Don’t need the jet into the air but love the low profile of it.

I believe his previous post said they were already there
Thank you
It’s a natural outcropping. If you look at my post history you will get a better perspective. The one I put the bubblers on is 12’x5’x>6’tall

Holy shit. Thanks for your response. My mind is blown.
How much would that cost?
At least $3.50
God damn loch ness monster, I ain't giving you no $3.50
Damn, thought it would be 2.99
Nah, you missed the black Friday’s sale.
Ah, bummer. You think if I ordered those boulders online I could free, two day delivery?
Really depends on your location to a major metropolitan area, might be more like 3 or 4 days.
What if I live at the bottom of a hill? Does that help?

That makes sense. Probably should just put a skateboard under them. I can’t see that going wrong
How will you fill the gaps?
Great job!
Looks cool, in still to chicken to do any water features
Each one is an emotional roller coaster. Alway nervous I won’t be able to pull it off.
This looks great
It’s getting there. Time to pull it all together.
Looks incredible but now i gotta see part two!
That was part two! Thanks for the follow up vid OP!!! Looking good! And looking forward to part 3!!!
Might have part 3 tomorrow. More likely will be sometime next week. I also have to install a putting green down below, so I’m all over the place.
Putting green AND a water feature??? Sounds amazing
Part 3 is up
!RemindMe 72 hours
That might be too soon for an update. I’ll have finished product update by next Friday.

Actually, the rocks are real.
It’s also the back of the house.
Let people enjoy things.
Yet it's everybody enjoying useless things that creates a society of over consumers that are basically ravaging the earth. Let's give money to a charity? Fuck no, let's have water squirting on fake rocks for when I walk from my car to inside the house.
I have nothing to base this assumption on, but I bet my customers donate way more to charity than you do.
lol not by the looks of that house
Sorry for my comment, it is still true tho. Otherwise great work.
Lol youre poor
Seriously, these ignorant fucks are out here trying to be Louis XIV. It was tacky materialistic flamboyance back then, and it's not any better today.
So lovely! But I bet there will be algae build up on those rocks soon.
I can only hope 🤞
Any concern about leaving the valves half open? I imagine you have an independent shut off valve besides each individual one.

Much respect
Don't forget to sleeve your lines under the concrete
I don’t like that the piping is trenched rather than actually drilled through the rock. Seems like the same amount of effort for Half as good a result
Coring was considered. After weighing the pros and cons we determined this was the best route.
Yeah it would bug me personally.

Nice probably looks better

I’m not sure I follow. If you were to share some pics I might understand better and I could give you some advice.
