Roadside planters,

address markers, mail

boxes

One way to welcome family, friends, (and sometimes easily remember which house is yours) is placement of a unique roadside structure that may or may not contain a planter. They are often address markers or mailbox structures that have a similar look and feel to your landscaping and reflect your style and aesthetic intent. A common addition is a more ornate or full mailbox structure that holds a regulation mailbox insert but is surrounded by stucco, blocks, brick, pavers, etc. These structures often include an area for a planter so you can welcome visitors with beautiful live plants. Irrigation can be routed to this location to reduce maintenance. Even if you don’t have a local personal mailbox, moderate to larger properties may consider addition of an address marker planter to add elegance or uniqueness to their home.
