Freestanding Monument Signs

Ground-mounted, standalone signs are generally called freestanding signs. This category includes several types: monument signs (low-profile with a solid base), pylon signs (tall structures with high visibility), and pole signs. Multi-tenant freestanding signs are also available for shopping centers and office parks that need to display multiple business names on a single structure.

A freestanding sign is any ground-mounted sign that stands independently without building attachment — this includes pylon signs, pole signs, and monument signs. A monument sign is a specific type of freestanding sign characterized by its low-profile design, solid base structure, and ground-level placement. Monument signs are often preferred by office parks, churches, and commercial developments for their professional, architectural appearance.
