The benefits of having a natural jumping rock is more than the natural pleasing look. It’s also lower maintenance than a fake gunite or concrete structure. The second best benefit is they are cheaper and look more expensive. So why are they cheaper? A gunite or concrete jumping structure may require an engineered plan and more rebar reinforcement. With more material comes more labor, time and design. Now that we have covered the top benefits of a natural jumping rock, what are the down sides? Some cities will require a set back of any structure built too close to the property line. These set backs may vary by city or county requirements but if you have the space for a natural jumping rock do it! Now if there isn’t space for the jumping rock you can try an un-natural jumping structure that requires less space rather than a natural rock requiring counter balance.
