nah, some tool from Alex Schreier, plus 15-20 min rearranging / deleting / rescaling rocks so it looks better (that part wasn’t sarcasm, stacking rocks is fun. it just has to feel right, no need for absolute precision. same goes with the bushes.)
yeah, same, time was running short so I just slapped a material on it so it looked woody, but as you can see on the other model, my colleague knows how to replace / adjust materials, so I delegated the extra step 
. turns out she didn’t, because it wasn’t as visible from below the pergola. (I mean, you see it, I see it, but you’d be surprised how few of us actually see it)
it it were to me, and only me, I would probably just have used plain colours. or at least switch to shaded - no textures.
