RE: [GWL]: Yard Art

 The ultimate yard art is probably located at the Coral Castle any search
engine will give you info on this tourist attraction located in South
Florida. I use the term yard art not garden art because minimum plantings
are associated with this display.  Coral rock is being used in all forms
from elaborate waterfalls to furniture. This stone is also smooth cut and
sold as keystone for stepping stones and wall facer. We have shipped this
rock to accounts in the NE the shells and other fossils make it very
decorative in the right installation.
