Why yard signs still work
A sign in the lawn after a job tells the whole street who did the work, right when the yard looks its best. For a landscaping company it is one of the cheapest ways to get the next job on the same block. The catch is that a yard sign gets a second or two from a passing car, so it has to say who you are and how to reach you with almost nothing else.
One layout, four seasons
We design a single layout with three fixed parts and one moving part. The logo, the business name and the phone line never move. The top band carries the service you are selling that season and changes color with it. Print a stack of each and you have signs for the whole year that still look like one company.

| Banner | 3 x 6 ft or similar | Garden center fences, events, the shop front |
Your printer may offer other sizes. Send us their spec sheet and we follow it.
Fewer words
We keep each sign to the business name or logo, one service line and one way to respond. A phone number reads faster than a web address from a car, so it usually goes big. A QR code can help on a door hanger, where someone holds it close, but rarely on a lawn sign.
Beyond the lawn
The same system carries over to door hangers left on neighboring houses, banners for a garden center fence, and the small sign on a job site fence during a long install. We set them up together, so a customer who sees all three sees one business.
Questions
Do you print the signs?
No. We design them and prepare print-ready files for the sign printer you choose.
Can I put my own sign in a customer's yard?
Ask the customer first, and check local rules, since some towns and neighborhood associations limit yard signs. We can design a smaller, quieter version for places with strict rules.
