The Birth of

Sturdy Decorative Driveway Reflectors
One dark evening while driving from Winston Salem to Linville North Carolina we started counting reflectors. Most were red, some were blue many crooked and bent.  The first to see one would yell, "REFLECTOR."    About 10 miles or 134 reflectors later a light bulb came on.   We had never seen a decent looking, decorative, high-end reflector. ...started brainstorming and came up with some great designs.
On a trip to Washington D.C. to make sales calls and visit family we ventured to the U.S. Patent and Copyright offices and locked in our ideas. The world now has a decorative yet functional reflector to mark driveways, ditches, culverts and homes.
I did a lot of R&D to find the most reflective tape, plastic reflectors and establish optimum stability. You can now provide your customers with the very best reflector on the market.
Enjoy the sales rush!
You will always find your way home with our stylish reflectors. See side bar for details.

Note:    Do place reflective markers at front edge of lawn to help plow drivers distinguish road edge and not plow up lawns. In the absence of such markers most Townships are not responsible for any damage to property.

Driveways Can be Marked With Blue or White Reflectors

Detroit Lakes, Minn—The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) advises the public to use either blue or white reflectors when marking driveway openings next to a roadway.

Red or yellow reflectors SHOULD NOT be used because drivers on the road could confuse them with motor vehicle lights.

When marking driveway openings along a roadway, please follow these guidelines.

	Reflectors should be either blue or white in color.
	Use double-sided reflectors and position them so they can be seen from both directions of travel on the roadway.
	They should not be put on mailboxes or permanent posts of any kind and be no higher than five feet from the ground.
	Reflectors should be placed at least 12 feet away from the outside edge of the shoulder on the road to reduce the chances of being covered by snow when the road is plowed during the winter.
