The Engraving process begins either at your home, business or the stone yard for your free consultation and estimate. Here we will discuss ideas and find a Design and Boulder that will fit your landscape and your budget. SA Address Boulders can engrave anything you dream up; here are just few ideas to get you started.
- Address Numbers
- Full Address
- Names
- Logos
- Texas Shape
- Star Shape
You can see here the customer wanted to mount a metal cross on the Boulder. We can mount them for you in this case the customer opted to do it themselves.
After we have decided on a boulder and design, we will have you sign off on a rough sketch like this and you will be given a timeline with estimated delivery date. From this point the process takes 1-2 weeks to complete. You will pay a deposit of the Boulder Cost and 50% of the Engraving Fee, all agreed upon upfront.
The stencil is transferred onto the Stone and is removable if any changes need to me made.
We then take the boulder with your approved design sketch and put them together. You can request to have photos sent to you at this stage for your approval before we begin the engraving process. At this stage you can really see the Address Boulder coming to life.
Engraving complete (Minus the mounted cross)
Here is the finished product after the engraving and painting have been complete. If you prefer a different color to black we can accommodate. The next step is to install the boulder. Depending on the size of your project, the placement of the boulder and your landscape, this process can take from 1 to 4 hours which can be done at a time that is mutually agreed upon.
