I think he would probably want it to be something like 

http://www.domain.com/garden_tools/83

Then all you have to do is ignore the first directory and pass the second
directory to CF.  You can have a generic rewrite done in Apache 

Something like 

RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/*
http://www.domainname.com/index.cfm?pg=listing_details&id=$2&hit=1&popup=0&p
