All you need to do is get a perm and new pants. Gold chains on a hairy exposed chest is a nice touch too.;)

Well I guess you'll have to stucco over it or sell your house. I don't see any other option now.:D

Ever been to a place called Home Depot? They carry lots of it!!!
IMO, there's nothing wrong with it, esp if you're doing a hawaiian, tiki, palm theme. ;)

Lava is cool with Tropical theme, but use sparingly. Suggest going with mostly colored gravel then adding "islands" of lava rock and palms.

Home Depot sucks and is WAY overpriced for lawn and garden suplies.
Yeah I see the point with a Tropical theme. I guess I looking back at my old house that WAS NOT a tropical theme and it looked like ass.

We use a lot of decomposed granite and sandstone around here. Of course it probably helps that we're surrounded by like a million sq. miles of the stuff. Since we're about out of water, 'desert landscape' is getting real popular. :rolleyes:

Lava Rock goes right along with the gold edged mirrors all over the house!
LOL:D
(my house we are in now, was built in 77 and has gold in the countertops in the bathroom and gold around the closets.....):(

We sell landscape rock to Lake Havasu, Kingman, and Bullhead area.
Only sell one or two loads a year of lava rock (or cinders......they come from the Flagstaff, Arizona area and are trucked in)
If anyone on the boards needs any color or size of landscape rock I will give you a discount.

1. Put the lava rock in mesh bags and sell it to 77Eliminator for an anchor.
2. Go back in time and sell them to Scott Peterson.
3. Set up the BBQ and melt the lava rocks back into lava. That would be cool to see.
UH. Nevermind. :rolleyes:
