Entrance monuments

First impressions, set in stone.

An entrance monument is the front door of a neighborhood, campus or business park. We'll help you pick the size and shape that fits the spot and reads well from the road, then build it around your name, logo and colors.

For the big ones, we coordinate concrete footings and bring in the right equipment to set them.

Multi-sign projects

One look, every entrance.

Got more than one building, entrance or department? We can make a whole set of boulders that clearly belong together, with the same style, lettering and color family.

One senior living campus we worked with has four matching boulders: assisted living, memory care, adult day care and an employee wellness center.

Partner with us

Landscapers & builders: let's work together.

A big boulder can be the centerpiece of your whole design. We'd love to be the people you call for it. You know the site and the client. We'll handle the boulder, from the proof to the set.

  • Send us your client's idea, logo or sketch. We'll turn around a free design proof you can show them.
  • We'll schedule delivery around your crew, so the boulder shows up when the site is ready for it.
  • Tell us about the base. Mid-size boulders go on a solid gravel base with a steel pipe, and we provide the pipe. The big ones need a concrete footer, and we'll sort out who's pouring it.
  • We set the boulder where your plan says it goes, and you finish the bed around it.

How a project runs

Plain terms, no surprises.

Here's how a commercial or community project usually runs. Every project is different, so we'll walk you through pricing and payments when you reach out.

Step 1

Free proof & quote

We draw up a design proof and an estimate. Revise it as many times as you need to get everyone on board.

Step 2

Approval

Once you've signed off (or your board has voted), just confirm it in writing and we'll get going.

Step 3

Built in our shop

We make your boulder to order and send pictures along the way so everyone stays on the same page.

Step 4

Delivery & install

We deliver it and set it, so install day goes smoothly.

How does timing work?

Every project is different. We'll talk timing with you up front, based on your project, and if you have a date in mind, we'll be straight with you about it.

Permits, footings & the site

Boulder signs are often allowed where standard signs aren't, but rules vary, so check with your village or city early. We'll stay in touch with your property manager, contractor or landscaper the whole way.
