Man made “lava” gives homeowners a creative option

May 21st, 2008

In looking for different, unique things we wanted to “bookmark” for our future home on the Big Island, I came across Pacific Gunite’s website. While they specialize in swimming pools and water tanks, they also specialize in a really cool process which allows you to be able to have the look and feel of real hardened lava which they call “lava-crete.” They take molds from actual lava flows and use it to make anything from patio pavers to pool surrounds to fireplace facades. I haven’t used them or anything so if you have and would like to leave your experience here, feel free. But I thought their work was too unique not to share!
