While I am too much of a cheapskate to actually buy these products, I did have a chance to examine personally a very large selection of their products.
Universal Rocks Their website does not currently show their vivaria products for some reason...This site has an example pictured, and an incomplete product listing.
While I am an egotistical Do It Yourselfer, I must admit I am very impressed with these products. Their vivaria backgrounds are particularly impressive, as they cast from a poured plastic resin and then surfaced with REAL silica sand and painted. These are the most realistic looking stone backgrounds I have ever seen. They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. These backgrounds are durable and flexible, yet soft enough to cut to shape for whatever you want!
As for there cast "stone" rocks and waterfalls, these are pretty much industry standard, cast from thunderstone or the like. Pretty, but obviously NOT real rock up close and personal. They look really good though comparable products are available for less money.
If you are not a DIYer and would like what can only be called Zoo Quality backgrounds for your tanks, I highly suggest you check these guys out.
(Special thanks to my local critter shop for calling me to come down and check out these products for them! They are going to start carrying the complete line between their pet and pond stores. I will have to go back and take some pictures so you can all see these things. Really amazing!)
UPDATE
I found their vivaria stuff link! It was right in front of me and I didn't see it... (Forgive me, I found a tiger salamander toady and am giddy!)

Watching FrogTV because it is better when someone else has to maintain the enclosure!
