Community Entrance Median - Lighting and Landscape Diagram

How to Ground Light Signs and Landscape Your New Sign Monument

Posted on March 5, 2026May 18, 2026 by Wade Parker

How to do it. What to buy. Let’s do this once. Let’s do this right.

TWS Sign Monument Ground Lighting Night View

As you can see in the business sign monument example above ground lighting not only illuminates the lettering, but grabs more attention by lighting up the entire sign structure.

This is a typical situation for a sign monument – the entrance to a residential neighborhood. There a median separating the entrance and exit streets.

You will want at least (2) ground light fixtures per sides that have graphics. A single floodlight will cast shadows on and dimensional or embossed elements, making the sign illigible from certain angles. We carry these fixtures for purchase:

These fixtures do NOT include the wire or junction boxes, which are common home hardware store items. You can just direct burial wire, or run wire through PVC pipe as conduit to ensure they are never cut by future digging.

There are many varieties of landscape fabric. We highly recommend a 20 year weed barrier heavy-weight (at least 3.2 oz) with the fuzzy texture on one side. This guarantees no pesky weeds come through, keeping unintentional vegetation from growing up and blocking the view of your beautiful sign.

A mid to large size river rock is recommended over the landscape fabric. This cleans itself with rain, and fall leaves can be blown without getting the rocks in the street. River rock doesn’t allow mowers and weed wackers near your investment. See how this was done property?
