			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aloha, my name is David Schwartz, owner of rockmolds.com.</p>
<p>Upon graduating from Washington State University in 1992 with a BS in<br />
Landscape Architecture, I was randomly offered a free vacation to the<br />
beautiful and exotic, magic of Maui. I am still here.</p>
<p>The powerful elements of rock, water and plant material that naturally<br />
occur here, immediately made a significant impact on who I was as a<br />
designer. Balance, flow, and intricacies of nature became part of the<br />
layers for our creations.</p>
<p>I have now been involved in the design and installation of tropical,<br />
custom landscapes on Maui for over 15 years, on some of the most beautiful<br />
properties in the world.</p>
<p>It is this background that brought us into the world of concrete, and the<br />
exciting potential this medium brought into our designs.  Water features,<br />
outdoor showers, stepping stones, patios, columns, walls, benches&#8230;  for<br />
these elements we started creating our lava stamps, with textures that are<br />
unique with character, blending in naturally with our environment.</p>
<p>rockmolds.com was created out of this passion to mimic nature as close as<br />
possible, which fuels our excitement to add new lines and sizes of stamps.<br />
This way we hope to meet our customer&#8217;s desire to buy outrageous textures<br />
for any of their special projects.  We are committed as a company to<br />
provide this service.</p>
<p>As a designer and contractor, I believe it is mandatory to have options in<br />
texture to sell yourself and your project.</p>
<p>I have watched trends in the design industry, and one that I am sure will<br />
be making a big movement is vertical stamping. Personally I am very<br />
excited about the possibilities associated with this technique.  Any time<br />
you can turn a plain vertical surface into stone, coral, wood, or bamboo,<br />
with the cost effectiveness, realism, and efficiency of vertical stamping,<br />
notice should be taken. This has become a big part of what we do.</p>
<p>Intention is 90% of everything.  Have fun.  David</p>
