Frequently Asked Questions
Our garden plaques are made from solid bronze or aluminum, offering durability and a timeless look. Bronze plaques naturally develop a rich brown or greenish patina over time, enhancing their character without affecting readability. Aluminum plaques are lighter-weight, silver-toned, and protected with a clear coat. Most garden plaques are precision tooled, allowing for crisp, detailed lettering — perfect for memorial dedications and donor recognition.
Common sizes range from 4" × 6" to 8" × 12", but custom dimensions are available. We’ll help recommend the right size based on your message, visibility needs, and site conditions.
Garden plaques are mounted to a stake that installs securely into soft ground such as soil, turf, or mulch beds. Stakes are typically aluminum and attach with hidden hardware for a clean look.
Garden plaques are popular for botanical gardens (plant labeling, donor recognition), memorial gardens ("In memory of" plaques), tree dedications, public parks, arboretums, universities, and for recognizing donors or contributors.
Yes. We can add custom artwork such as a Tree of Life, organization logos, or other graphics. Raised designs and simple line art work especially well for small plaques.
Wording often includes a name, dates, a dedication line ("In memory of…"), or recognition of contributions. For examples and ideas, visit our Memorial Plaque Wording Tips post.
Both bronze and aluminum plaques are built to last for many years outdoors. Bronze will develop a natural patina, while aluminum retains its silver tone under a protective clear coat. Proper installation ensures stability even in tough weather conditions.
