A custom designed stone sign is also a great way to display your name/logo/address or any other text/design.
Custom stone signs are unique looking and long lasting. They are very versatile, whether it be as an address marker (like a farm sign), a corporate gift (a restaurant sign) or personalized present, a stone creation can be matched to fit a variety of surroundings and sandblasted to reflect the personality and/or branding of the recipient.
Custom designed stone signs work great on pathways, gardens and near sidewalks. The weather will not be a factor when it comes to the longevity of your custom sandblasted stone sign. In fact the outdoor elements will help create character and give it many unique qualities. Sandblasting the stone is the only beginning of the etched look. Once the stone has been engraved with the text and graphic in the etched areas, it is then painted to show the highlights of the now personalized stone sign.
