New Generation Flooring of Blue Jay, 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 Blue Jay, San Bernardino County, CA |
Blue Jay is a town located in
unincorporated
San Bernardino
County in California. It is located in a region of California known as the
Inland
Empire. The town is a part of the
Lake
Arrowhead Community. Other towns in this community are
Lake
Arrowhead and
Running Springs. It is
within the
San
Bernardino National Forest. Blue Jay Village itself is located one mile
from the southwestern bank of
Lake
Arrowhead. The
ZIP Code is 92317 and the
community is inside
area
code 909.
History
The town started as the homestead of Art and Norma Wixom. They leased a
few vacation cabins and opened a store in 1914. Stoney DeMent leased the land
and built a market called The Blue Jay Market in 1934. The store was named for
the blue colored birds that live in the area, and this later became the name of
the town built up around it. The naming of the town is something of a misnomer:
the local variety of jay is actually the
Steller's Jay, not the
closely related
Blue Jay.
While this is widely known in the area, the name has stuck. The store also had
a dance floor upstairs, but this was converted to hotel rooms a few years later
to accommodate the crowds of tourists who came in the summer. Residents began
to move to Blue Jay about 10 years later.
