New Generation Flooring of Bloomington, San Bernardino 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 Bloomington, San Bernardino County, CA |
Bloomington is a
unincorporated
census-designated
place (CDP) in
San
Bernardino County,
California,
United States. The
population was 19,318 at the 2000 census. Though unincorporated at the current
time, many of the town's political activists are pushing for Bloomington to
attain cityhood, while the nearby cities of
Rialto and
Fontana are
attempting to annex the community. The incorporation effort is led by the BIC,
or the Bloomington Incorporation Committee.[2]
History
Bloomington was originally developed as part of the land holdings of the
Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company which was formed in 1887. In 1907, the
Riverside Portland Cement Company built a large plant near Crestmore(South
Bloomington) and to provide transportation for employees built a standard gauge
railroad to Riverside. On May 20, 1911 the line was opened to Bloomington. The
original community, known as Crestmore, is generally located between Locust
Avenue and Larch Avenue, south of Jurupa Avenue, extending to the County line.
The Pacific-Electric Crestmore Line (Riverside-Rialto) provided local service
for many years. The Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company(now known as West Valley
Water District) laid out the town sites of Bloomington, Rialto, Fontana, and
Sansevaine. The town site for Bloomington, after being surveyed in April, 1888,
was bounded on the north by Valley Boulevard, on the south by Slover Avenue, on
the east by Larch Avenue, and on the west by Linden Avenue. Presently, part of
the community is still rural and many residents continue to keep and raise
animals.
Incorporation
Attempts
In 1989 full incorporation was not completed due to budget and staff
constraints
[3]
In 2007, the Bloomington incorporation committee(BIC) applied with the
Local Agency Formation Commission for another attempt for incorporation. It
failed in late February, early March, when the Local Agency Formation
Commission denied an extension that BIC needed in order to pay a $109,000
deposit for feasibility and financial studies.
