Excellent! Then the property lines will be visible even at night, and the flamingos won't accidentally wander into the neighbor's yard while you sleep!

Assuming a mowed area here: 10" or 12" spike with a pink stake chaser.

They last forever (mow over 'em, walk on 'em, drive on 'em) and if you need to mark the line again, just beep 'em up and you're on your way.

I have used the thin, round fiberglass driveway markers.
I set a hub nail and drive it down with the marker in order to have something in the ground I can dig up if the marker goes missing.

We use a roller and paint them by the bundle. Two saw horses, lay out the 25, roll, turn each one, roll, turn and roll until they are white. We usually leave the point and a few inches unpainted so we don't get messy moving them to the official drying rack: Put 2 stakes down, put 25 wet stakes down with space between on top of the two stakes. Put 2 more stakes down and paint another bundle.

We usually set these to witness monuments.

Nancy Book once owned Hydrangea Walk, a very large home on the Boulevard. We surveyed her land and left the telltale white stakes at the corners. A few years later as I was driving down the Boulevard and I saw her trying to put the old stake back up beside the bound as it had just fallen over. I stopped the truck and provided her with a new one. Had it been Orange or Pink, it would have been removed immediately.

My pick would be the T-Post fence post. I have also used them for monumenting corners in the woods.

Thats what I use. 6 footers. Somewhat of a booger to carry around but once set on a brushed open line, I have yet to have an owner say they didn't like what I did.

We use 6 foot aluminum u channel posts. They are lightweight for carrying.
