Replications of Real Rock Elements
Potenza is committed to treating each installation as a reflection of natural geomorphology and biology.
We begin by committing the design to reality with detailed hand sculpting by talented artists and GFRC panelized products that are backfilled with grout to insure a solid, rock like feel.
Panelizing gives the most flexibility to a concept, allowing more options for build out. Artistry continues on site to give a monolithic detail to the overall feature.
We also like to include irrigated bio-pockets in the design. These are areas that allow planting of natural plants usually present in nature's water features. Ferns, grasses, and native shrubs all add authenticity.
Details are not only about how things look up close, but about how the overall design tells a story of the effects of powerful seismic forces, weathering, erosion, and time. The result is an authentic installation that is difficult to distinguish from nature.
The titles" artificial rock" or "artificial trees" don't seem to fit this degree of quality.
All Potenza products are replications of real rock elements and formations. Columbia River basalt (both face and columnar), various granite forms, as well as unique appointments such as tree stumps, and structural elements such as beams and components of “ruins" are all used when called for.
Architectural Replications: including mold making of original piece, GFRC castings shipped to location, install ready!
