The Stone Patio

Bassem's

Since the beginnings of humankind, man has aspired to, received satisfaction from, and attained everlasting fame by moving the biggest, largest thing he can imagine, which would be rock.

History records the trials and tribulations, sacrifices, many have made for the immortal cause.

Then I had to go and do it all over again myself.

Bring your friends, bring your family, you can even bring your pet!

It’s everything you’ve ever dreamed of in a rock, except maybe the pet rock part. (RIP Gary Dahl)

Best secret of all?

It’s free for you to enjoy any time of year (but we recommend spring to experience the best flowers)
