Do you guys think this will look ok when the cement is on it or should I just stick with real rocks? Lol Is there anything that you think might make it look better before I put the cement on it? Any and all suggestions welcome.. Good or bad!

The only thing I can think of that you may not like about it is that it will make it real hard to catch fish if you ever need to.

Other than that when you put quickrete on, it will change it completely. So if your second guessing the looks wait till you put it on. Then I bet you'll feel much better about it.

Oh crap! Yes, I forgot!! Well... Hmmm.... Maybe I should make the holes bigger? I was thinking about picking lines in the styrofoam to make it look more like rocks? yes? no??

They look close to rocks now bit remember when you go to put on at least three layers of concrete it will fill it in. So you'll need to go deep with any marks you'll want to show.
