The present invention is a lawn accessory comprising a structural shell. The shell is constructed to have a wall containing both inner and outer surfaces, and a bottom member which together form an inner volume. An adhesive layer surrounds the outer wall surface of the shell and is comprised of a mortar. A decorative layer comprised of a plurality of synthetic stones is attached to the adhesive layer and spaces between the stones are filled with mortar to complete the lawn accessory.

The invention claimed is: 1. A lawn accessory comprising: an inner container made from at least one polymer and having a wall containing an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface, and a bottom member, wherein the inner wall surface and bottom member create an inner volume of the inner container; an adhesive layer surrounding the outer wall surface of the inner container, the adhesive layer comprising a mortar; a coterminous reinforcement layer surrounding the outer wall surface of the inner container, wherein the reinforcement layer is attached to the outer wall surface of the inner container and contained within the adhesive layer; a decorative layer comprising a plurality of synthetic stones attached to the adhesive layer; and a detachable ring having a top surface, a bottom surface, an inner diameter and an outer diameter, wherein the inner diameter is sized to fit around a combined thickness of the outer wall surface and adhesive layer. 2. The lawn accessory of claim 1 wherein the inner container is a cylindrical barrel. 3. The lawn accessory of claim 1, wherein the reinforcement layer is a mesh. 4. The lawn accessory of claim 1 wherein the plurality of synthetic stones comprises synthetic stones of differing dimensions. 5. The lawn accessory of claim 4 wherein the plurality of synthetic stones are placed in a random configuration. 6. The lawn accessory of claim 1 wherein the plurality of synthetic stones comprise synthetic stones of generally uniform dimensions. 7. The lawn accessory of claim 6 wherein the plurality of synthetic stones are placed in a repeating configuration on the adhesive layer surrounding the outer wall of the inner container. 8. The lawn accessory of claim 1 further comprising: a top plate having a circumference and a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the ring; and at least two supports connecting the ring to the top plate, the supports at equal distances from one another around the circumference of both the ring and the top plate. 9. A decorative and functional lawn accessory constructed to compliment an area surrounding its placement, the lawn accessory comprising: a generally cylindrical main body comprising: a generally cylindrical wall having a top end and a bottom end; and a bottom member connected substantially adjacent to the bottom end of the cylindrical wall; an adhesive layer on the wall having an outer surface; a layer of a plurality of synthetic stones constructed from a premixed material and attached to the generally cylindrical wall by the adhesive layer, each synthetic stone of the layer of a plurality of synthetic stones comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface is arced to mate with the outer surface of the adhesive layer; and a detachable lid made of the same premixed material as the layer of stones; the lid comprising a ring, a top plate, and at least two supports, wherein the ring has a top surface, a bottom surface, an inner diameter and an outer diameter, wherein the inner diameter is sized to fit around a combined thickness of the generally cylindrical wall and the adhesive layer. 10. The lawn accessory of claim 9 wherein the ring has a circumference, the top plate has a circumference and a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the ring, and the supports are at equal distances from one another around the circumference of both the ring and the top plate. 11. A method of constructing a decorative lawn accessory which contains a rigid inner container, a reinforcement layer, an adhesive layer, a decorative layer, and a detachable ring having a top surface, a bottom surface, an inner diameter and an outer diameter, wherein the inner diameter is sized to fit around a combined thickness of the generally cylindrical wall and the adhesive layer, the method comprising the steps of: a) forming the rigid inner container using at least one of a polymer or concrete or combinations thereof, wherein the rigid container has a wall containing an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface, and a bottom member, wherein the inner wall surface and bottom member create an inner volume of the inner container; b) attaching the reinforcement layer with fasteners to envelope the outer wall surface of the rigid inner container; c) applying a scratch coat of mortar to the outer surface of the rigid inner container and surrounding the reinforcement layer; d) curing the scratch coat of mortar; e) applying an additional coat of mortar as the adhesive layer; f) setting a plurality of synthetic stones to the adhesive layer; and g) curing the additional coat of mortar to the adhesive layer. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein the plurality of synthetic stones are constructed from a mix of natural stone powder and synthetic resin to simulate a look of natural stone. 13. The method of claim 11 wherein step f) further comprises: spacing the plurality of synthetic stones and filling the spaces between individual stones with additional mortar, which becomes part of the adhesive layer. 14. The method of claim 11 wherein step a further comprises: applying a polymer coating to the inner surface of the inner container. 15. The method of claim 11,, further comprising: h) forming a detachable ring using at least one of a polymer or concrete or mortar or combinations thereof.
