Houses on streets that share a name with the next road over benefit from a sign that spells the street out. The Madison Oval two-line lawn plaque does exactly that on the standard Madison casting, with the number on top and the street name below. The bronze oval reading 2749 Sunset Drive in the photo is a representative layout.

Character limits

Line one of the Madison Oval two-line lawn plaque holds up to five characters at 3 inches tall. Line two holds up to 17 characters at 1.25 inches, which is enough for most street names including the suffix. Remember that spaces count. Both lines are cast in raised relief, so they won’t wear off.

How a Madison Oval two-line lawn plaque is made

The sign is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum. Aluminum won’t rust, so it holds up through wet springs and salted winters without streaking. An all-weather protective coating is applied over the casting and backed by a five-year warranty. Ten color combinations are listed for this piece: Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Black/Silver, Black/White, Bronze/Gold, Green/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Pewter/Silver and Red/Gold.

Standard size in practice

The standard Madison is sized for a sign that sits a normal front-yard distance from the street. For a house set far back, the estate Madison Oval has taller lettering. Because the Madison Oval two-line lawn plaque is cast to your text, read both lines back before you submit. Personalized orders can’t be modified, cancelled or returned once they’re in.

If one line is all you need, the one-line standard Madison is the same oval with a single line of text. You can see every yard option under lawn address plaques, or go to the wall-mounted address plaques if you’d rather fix the sign to the house.
