Privacy screens are often an accent feature that are designed to attract your attention while hiding what is behind it. So it makes sense to put your address numbers where they are easily found. Whether you want a private patio space or merely hide the trash bins from street view, it can be a great place to fasten your new address numbers to.
4. Let Your Mailbox Do Double Duty
Your mailbox is usually in your front yard, and it is very obvious to anyone looking at your house. Placing your house number on the mailbox makes sure there’s not a chance that anyone would miss it, and you can be sure your mail and deliveries won’t end up at the neighbors.
5. Start at the Gate:
Make it easy for your guests or delivery services to find you. Place your address numbers on or right next to the gate.
*White BOLD RETRO 8" numbers and 5 inch letters shown
Nobody wants to have to look over the fence to find the address. Your guests will know they are at the right place when they see this address!
6. Use a Rock
Rocks are commonly used for bringing interest and detail to front yard landscaping. When using a rock for your address sign, take care that the house numbers are not hidden or covered by flowers or grasses. The rock should stand vertically and ensure the numbers are easily readable.
7. Bring it to the Street - Long Driveway Solutions:
This home is set quite a long way back from the street and it would be hard to get a large enough number that would be readable at this distance. A simple sign by the road solves this problem easily without being costly. You may even have leftover wood from your deck or accent trim.
*THIN MODERN 8" No letters and 12" numbers shown
If you want to make a statement by the side of the road, this large address sign ought to do it! A large pretty sign like this makes guests feel welcome before they even arrive at the house. Place it at the start of your driveway to make sure they find the right house.
