"This book combines Mr. Dave's passion for art and sculpture & giving back to the community around him. He truly loves teaching and sharing his "trade secrets" on his YouTube channel and social media posts. This book takes those posts a step further with more documentation than you'd otherwise get in a text- or time-limited format.

I was personally interested in the technical and engineering aspects of making faux rocks. Mr. Dave also covers aspects of starting and running a successful business, including design and customer satisfaction. He writes from a humble perspective where he wants to help you make your faux rock project come true.

Since purchasing and reading this book, I have begun working on my own pool faux rock. If I didn't have this book, I'd have had no way of knowing where to start. This book is encouraging and empowering. I really appreciate what Mr. Dave gives back to those interested in this subject. The book is definitely worth the price of admission.

Thanks, Mr. Dave!"

"I've had the pleasure of working with Dave for the past decade.  

As a pool contractor, I've had the opportunity referring Dave to my clients to build these incredible Grottos, Slides and Waterfalls.  In every case Dave came away making us all look like heroes turning the ordinary pool into extraordinary wonderlands.

As a testimony to Dave's passion for this art form and the man he is (where most tradesman want to safeguard and not share) Dave puts it all out there for all of us to learn.  And most importantly learn to do it right. Thank you Dave for the inspiration to bring out the artist in all of us.   Rock on my friend.

"There’s no one else who knows fake rocks like Mr Dave! From pool features to slides to grottos to backyard ponds, this is the best resource out there. Love all the examples he gives — very practical!"

“Dave is a total stud! Our project included a lava rock grotto, cave (with a TV inside) and water slide. He's a true artist that exceeded our expectations in every detail.  All I can say is hire him, you won't be sorry!!! Better yet, you will be rewarded with awesome results!
