Right on looks natural , what’d you cover it in?
I like the color looks like the support is there , creative working with what you’ve got !

What type of mortar or cement did you use? I like the idea.

I covered it with grey non flexible tile adhesive mixed with some black oxide.i saw this method posted on another forum. It is super light and feels strong. My next step is to add some detail with acrylic paint and then coat it with a clear pond sealer. The tile adhesive feels like rock. This is my 1st time using it and i really like it so far.

Yea thinset is some good stuff, drys super hard too , nice touch and inexpensive , the pond sealer should seal the deal!

I work in construction so i got the thinset for free. All up this will cost me next to nothing.
I am leaning towards planting a junioer ir elm on this. I am still undecided.

Even if you did buy it thinset bags go a long way and are less expensive than getting custom made rock planting’s by some named artist or lace rock !! Lol awesome

The combination of temperature fluctuations, ultraviolet light and water tend to break down many substances but you've got a lot of reinforcement going on so who knows!
