Questions we often get

Will I see a proof before you make it?

Yes. We send a layout proof for approval before anything is engraved or cut, so you can check every word, number and dimension first.

Will a garden plaque survive sprinklers and fertiliser?

Yes. 316 stainless steel is highly resistant to the chlorides in water and soil.

Do you deliver Australia-wide?

Yes. We're based in Rutherford, NSW, and express post to every state and territory, including regional areas, as well as New Zealand. Local customers are welcome to pick up from our showroom.
