How Can I Prevent Homeowners from Ripping Out Markers?

Often times, homeowners consider utility markers as a blemish and will deliberately remove them from their property.  Here are a few tactics to help prevent the removal of your markers.

1) Use a Soilmarker 

 

SoilMarkers™ are ideal for residential situations as they are highly visible, yet their low profile allows them to be directly mowed over.

 

2) Locate marker with a pre-existing structure

 

Homeowners are typically receptive to co-locating a smaller upright marker post next to a structure that already resides within their property. 

3) Use Safe Materials 

 

Metal or fiberglass posts can pose a safety hazard (pictured are fiberglass post with evaporating resin, unsafe to touch). Using a plastic material can reduce these risks.
