Want a couple horses with that sod? Or a lion or two?

As the sod business must have really suffered during our period of drought and severe water restrictions, exploring a different business model could keep you afloat in this down economy. This place may still sell sod - although I didn't see any signs of it - but statues big and small are everywhere. Small naked women and tiny St. Francis share space with fountains, flower pots, mailboxes, several lions and full-size gold horses, rearing up and ready to greet friends and family at the end of your driveway. If you think that might just be a bit much for the neighborhood, stick with two of the 5-foot tall golden lions...and pretend you're the New York Public Library.

  1. LOL.. Funny post.. Yeah I agree, and actually having either the horses or the lions would make the place look like a museum or something :)

  2. Hope I don't offend anyone if I say that you have to wonder who buys them.

  3. I really like these places...you never know what you'll find...there's a similar, even crazier place at SR 40 and Highway 19, if you ever get over that way...

  4. At least you wouldn't have to worry about anyone stealing them from your yard!
