What if we need a gift next week?

A template for each name is made individually on the computer. A copy of this template may be wrapped and given as a gift and the stone picked up later.

The paint on our rocks is very durable. It is like a thin piece of plastic. It will weather well for many years without chipping or fading.

Do you deliver?

We are unable to deliver as all our spare time is spent chiseling and painting rocks. Also, it would add a tremendous amount to the price of the stone.

Are there any special care instructions?

If the rock is damaged, for instance the lawn mower is run into it, the paint needs to be repaired right away. This will prevent water from entering the chipped part and getting behind the rest of the paint making it peel. Care instructions and the kind of paint to use are on the back side of our card.
