OGDEN — Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have an expert come to your home and give you some landscaping ideas?

There are several landscape artists in the area, and many of them will be at the Spring Home & Garden Show this year to give tips and ideas to residents who may need some extra help in the yard.

Dave Andre, owner of Andrescapes in Layton, has plenty of ideas when it comes to rock landscaping. Andre said not only does rock add beauty to your yard, it never has to be replaced.

UPPER BLACK EDDY, Pa. -- The thing about Ringing Rocks Park is that it's amazing enough without the aliens.

It's a big field of boulders in a woodsy area off Route 32 in Upper Black Eddy, a village in eastern Pennsylvania. Bring a hammer, because the name of the park is quite literal. Many of the rocks -- known as "live ones" -- ring when struck.

They ring with different tones, and plenty of people have composed impromptu symphonies there. If there's no hammer, a tire iron can act as a stand in, though the experience is not quite the same.
