A well-designed address stone does more than show your house number—it becomes part of your home’s architectural identity. Whether you’re building a new home, upgrading a mailbox, or refreshing your curb appeal, a stone address plaque can be the elegant and durable finishing touch your exterior has been missing.
At Build-A-Stone, we believe that every home deserves a personalized solution that reflects its unique style. This post is packed with inspiration and ideas to help you design a custom address stone that’s both functional and beautiful.
The horizontal layout is a timeless option for many homes and the most popular format for stone address plaques. These stones typically display the house number (and sometimes the street name) in one bold line, framed by a subtle border.
✅ Best for:
Brick or stone home facades
Mailbox columns
Retaining walls or landscape borders
Customize yours with serif fonts for a traditional feel, or go with sans-serif fonts for a modern touch.
Vertical stone address blocks are ideal for tight spaces like slim brick or stone mailboxes and front porch columns. With numbers stacked vertically, these stones maintain visibility while fitting beautifully within narrow designs.
✅ Great for:
Column-style mailboxes
Narrow brick pilasters
Contemporary exteriors seeking minimalist details
Pair with a radial or no-border design for a sleek, understated look.
Want to include both your house number and your street name? A two-line address stone offers more space while keeping things clean and legible. Perfect for larger surfaces, this format provides room to get creative with layout and font pairings.
✅ Ideal for:
Entryway walls
Landscaped signs near long driveways
Freestanding natural stone address markers
Choose contrasting font sizes to highlight your house number while keeping the overall design balanced.
Forget flimsy decals. Our stone mailbox numbers are designed to be integrated directly into brick or stone mailboxes for a professional, built-in appearance.
✅ Perfect for:
Brick mailboxes
Stone or cast stone mailboxes
Homes with prominent mailbox architecture
Use a bold font with a square border for high visibility from the street.
If your house sits far from the road or your entrance is defined by landscaping, a natural stone address marker is a great standalone option. These stones can be set on the ground, on a base, or within a garden bed to mark the address clearly.
✅ Best for:
Rural properties
Gated driveways
Landscaped entrances
Customize with family names, logos, or decorative flourishes to make it a centerpiece.
Match your home's architecture: Use similar stone tones or accents that reflect your home’s exterior materials.
Consider visibility: Make sure your house numbers are large enough and use a high-contrast paint fill.
Think long-term: Choose engraving over printing—your stone house numbers will look crisp for decades.
Make it personal: Add your street name, a family name, or even a subtle graphic element.
