The Hawthorne Oval two-line lawn plaque is a classic oval address marker that stands in the yard rather than on the house. Most people who order it live where the house sits back from the road, so the number needs to be out by the drive. The second line gives you room for the street name under the number.

What fits on a Hawthorne Oval two-line lawn plaque

Line one holds up to five characters at 3 inches tall, which is where the house number goes. Line two holds up to 14 characters at 1.5 inches, so a street name like Bayshore Blvd fits with room to spare. Both lines are cast into the aluminum, not printed or glued on, so the lettering can’t peel off.

Material and finish

Each Hawthorne Oval two-line lawn plaque is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, so it won’t rust the way steel does. It then gets an all-weather protective coating in your choice of twelve color combinations: Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Black/Silver, Black/White, Bronze Verdigris, Bronze/Gold, Green/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Pewter/Silver, Red/Gold and White/Gold. The coating carries a five-year warranty. If you want the sign to read easily from a moving car, pick a high-contrast pair such as Black/Gold or Black/White.

Standard size, two lines

This is the standard size of the Hawthorne Oval, and the two-line layout is the one to pick when the street name matters, for example on a private road with several houses. Because every Hawthorne Oval two-line lawn plaque is cast to order, check the spelling and the number before you submit. Personalized pieces can’t be changed, cancelled or returned once the order is placed.
