CREATIVE + MULTIFAMILY + SIGNAGE
Multifamily design, planning, & execution
LANDSCAPING
"Gardens are the result of a collaboration between art and nature." - Penelope Hobhouse
Landscaping around the entrance of your sign is a high priority when you want to complement your signage. Most times, the landscaping around a sign is adequate at best, and this below-standard treatment takes away from a sign's appeal. SignJive can deliver a landscaping plan that includes colorful plants, layering to exact varying heights, and positioning low-maintenance species to allow for proper sun and visual appeal. Contact SignJive for more detail on how this works.
WE CHOOSE UNIQUE SPECIES DESIGNED
TO COMPLIMENT YOUR ENTRY SIGNAGE
"Give light and people will find the way."
- Ella Baker
Lighting for multifamily entrances is usually a missing part of a building's design plan, or it is inadequate or non-existent. In many cases, your entry should take advantage of the power, and the low cost it takes to light it properly. SignJive can create a lighting plan that will enhance your property's entrances night appeal. We light the signage, trees, walls and ground to fashion a dramatic entrance your competitors will envy.

FIXTURES THAT STAND THE TEST OF TIME
"The grass is greener where you water it." - Unknown
Part of the success of any long-term landscaping plan includes proper irrigation. The right placement of irrigation at your entrance plays an important role in assuring that your signage lasts as long as it should. Often, due to improper positioning, irrigation sprays not only the landscaping but the signage.
If your property uses recycled water, hard water, or water containing rust and your sprinklers point at your signs, the signage can discolor or become damaged.
Inaccurately placed irrigation means your beautiful landscaping will also not grow optimally, or it may die, which costs you more money in the long run than if you had stationed everything where it needs to be.
SignJive plans ahead to devise an irrigation plan for your entrance that takes these issues into account, so your landscaping can thrive.

PUBLIC ART &
HARDSCAPE PLANNING
"Public Art can Tell the story of community spirit." - Venue Arts
Public art and hardscapes do not fall under the same municode guidelines as signage and are in many cases are allowed with few restrictions. SignJive will do advance research to see what your local municipality will allow so that we fully understand what we can do to maximize your properties curb appeal.

Public art is not an art “form.” Its size can be huge or small or call attention to the environment it’s placed in. Its shape can be abstract or realistic (or both), and it may be cast, carved, built, assembled, or painted. It can be site specific or stand in contrast to its surroundings. Public art can express community values, enhance our environment and transform a landscape. Public art is a reflection of how we see the world - the artist’s response to our time and place combined with our sense of who we are as a community.
"Humans are innately drawn to life and the natural world because we are part of it." - Unknown
