Ah, fenner, the point is not to fool people with the fake rock... the point is that their eye will glide over it rather than pouncing on the eyesore it is trying to cover up! LOL Even if they do "notice" it, they will wonder what that fake rock is hiding instead of seeing a big cement and metal drain. ;->
It's all about what the eye 'expects' to see rather than what it sees.

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining. Unfortunately, for the size rock that I'd need it looks like it would run $400-500...yikes. I'll have to price the cost of shrubs and see which one is the winner. Thanks again for that suggestion.
