A Quick Guide for Contractors, Realtors, and Anyone Who Needs to Get Noticed
When it comes to yard signs, size does matter — but not the way you think.
At Super Cheap Signs, we offer full-size (18″x24″) and turf-size (9″x11″) options because both serve a purpose.
The trick? Knowing when to use each, how to mix them together, and how to make sure every sign earns its keep.
Here’s how to choose the right size for your job, your neighborhood, and your goals.
🏠 Full-Size Yard Signs: The Big Statement
Dimensions: 18″ x 24″
Best For:
✔ Major streets and intersections
✔ Grand openings and big promos
✔ Political campaigns
✔ Real estate listings
✔ Contractor work that deserves a billboard moment
Full-size signs are your attention hogs — in a good way. They’re perfect when you want to make a bold, professional statement and be seen from a distance.
They’ve got room for:
- Business name + logo
- Phone number
- Website or QR code
- Even a short slogan or service list
Use them when:
You want drivers to notice you at 35mph, or you’re on a high-visibility corner that justifies the footprint.
🌿 Turf Signs: Small Size, Big Impact
Dimensions: 9″ x 11″
Best For:
✔ HOA-heavy or upscale neighborhoods
✔ Front yards with limited space
✔ Discreet contractor placement after a job
✔ Apartment complexes, walkways, flower beds
✔ “Thank you” or support messages
Turf signs are low profile, less pushy, and often more welcome — especially when you’re trying to get a client to say “yes” to leaving a sign behind.
They’re easier to tuck into:
- Flower beds
- Walkways
- Mailbox areas
- Mulch borders
- Jobsite corners
And since they use the same H-stakes as full-size signs, you can mix and match across a campaign or service area.
💡 Hot Tip: Turf signs are less likely to be removed by homeowners or HOAs. That means they keep working longer.
💬 Use Both (Here’s How)
Smart pros don’t choose just one — they use full-size and turf signs together to blanket an area and control the message.
Here’s a common combo:
- Full-size sign at the front entrance of a neighborhood or jobsite
- Turf signs sprinkled along the street, near driveways or walkways
- QR code signs closer to foot traffic areas
This “layered” strategy builds trust and gets more eyes without oversaturating or feeling intrusive.
💸 Cost Difference? Practically None.
Turf signs are cut from the same coroplast sheets as full-size ones — meaning you get 4 turf signs for the price of 1 full-size.
Same ink. Same durability.
Just 4x the ground coverage.
For contractors, this means more signs in more places — without breaking the budget.
🧠 Quick Size Recap:
| Use Case | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| High-traffic intersections | Full-Size (18×24) |

🎯 Final Word: It’s Not Either/Or — It’s Both
Big signs turn heads.
Small signs get invited to stay.
If you’re serious about visibility, brand trust, and leads, use both to your advantage. And if you’re just getting started, turf signs are a low-cost way to build momentum fast.
