New Generation Flooring of City Of Industry, Los Angeles County, CA
now offers Faux Rocks and Wall landscaping
services! |
Rock features are showing up
everywhere. Why not add them to your repertoire? The world's great deposits of
synthetic rock were once concentrated in zoos, theme parks and the occasional
museum exhibit. But times have changed, and these days, faux rock is cropping
up all over, from backyard pools and spas to shopping-mall waterfalls.
The demand for artificial rock is
booming just about everywhere. Only in parts of Southern California has it
peaked in popularity. But if someone wants to put in a sandstone waterfall, a
lava-rock barbeque, or a granite grotto, why not use real rock? There are a
number of reasons why faux is so popular.
- Cost is one big factor. For the
same money your customer might spend on a modest real-rock feature, they could
have a mini Grand Canyon made with synthetic rock.
- Weight is another
consideration. Pool decks or other structures that would fail beneath the
crushing weight of rock generally easily support faux.
- When it comes to water
features, which go hand in hand with rockwork, faux rock has no mortared joints
to leak and seep like real rock features do.
- Environmentally, faux
eliminates the need to tear up to the earth to mine real rock.
- It also offers versatility and
ease of use that real rock can't touch. You don't need to bore holes through
solid rock to hide the plumbing and electrical guts of a waterfall or hire a
crane to hoist boulders into place.

About City Of Industry, Los Angeles County, CA |
Industry (or City of Industry) is a city in the San Gabriel Valley section of Los Angeles County, California, United States. It is also a suburb of Los Angeles. It was incorporated June 18, 1957. The population was 777 at the 2000 census. The city was incorporated to prevent surrounding cities from annexing industrial land for tax revenue. The City of Industry has no business taxes and is primarily funded through retail sales tax from shopping centers located within the city limits. In addition, there is a revenue-generating hillside hotel resort, known as the Pacific Palms Resort (formerly the Industry Hills Sheraton), which is almost completely surrounded by the city of La Puente but actually located in the City of Industry. The headquarters for Hot Topic, Newegg.com, Emtek Products, and Engineering Model Associates/Plastruct are among some of the premier companies located in Industry.
The Homestead Museum is located in the City of Industry.
Industry is the home of the Puente Hills Mall, a major shopping center that was the "Twin/Lone Pine(s) Mall" in the Back to the Future movie series. Adjacent to the mall's property is a SpeedZone entertainment center, which was featured in a prominent scene of Kevin Smith's Clerks II. A former IKEA store located north of the Puente Hills Mall and across the 60 Freeway was used as a shooting location for the final fight scene in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Its exterior was renovated so it could be used for both exterior and interior filming; it was later demolished.
It also features a McDonald's restaurant that is used strictly for filming movies and commercials. Also in Industry is Vineland Drive-In, one of only two operating drive-in theaters in Los Angeles and Orange County.
City of Industry is a popular investment area for Chinese businessmen and the city has also emerged as a high-tech import/export center for computer parts, with business links to the Asian marketplace. For convenience many Chinese entrepreneurs and staff live in nearby Rowland Heights, Hacienda Heights, West Covina and Walnut.
The construction site for the proposed Los Angeles Stadium is in Industry.
