Signs should be placed 12-24 inches from the path to avoid interference with mobility

Face signs perpendicular to the primary direction of travel

The sign should be within the primary viewing angle of the feature offset to the side or forward to avoid blocking view of the feature

Avoid facing signs directly east or west where morning/afternoon glare can make them unreadable

North or northeast-facing is generally preferred for readability

Install signs outside of the critical root and grow zone 

Permanent signs should be installed in stable well compacted soil, mulch, grass

• Avoid low-lying areas or depressions where water pools

Signs should be raised 4-6 inches off the ground if necessary
