Your Tending Subscription Features in Gateway
Professional Monument Washing We use a soft-wash biological technique to lift deep-set grime, algae, and weathering without damaging the stone. Our process includes checking for stability and sealing minor fissures.
Inscription Enhancement Faded names are carefully brought back to life. We use specialized lithichrome paint to make the dates and epitaphs legible again.
Plot Hygiene & Safety We remove old flowers, fallen branches, and leaves. We also inspect the area for uneven ground or potential hazards to keeping the site safe.
Digital Service Logs Transparency is key. Every cleaning session comes with a full digital report and updated photos of the monument's condition.
Personal Support Agent You get a direct line to a real person. Your manager coordinates the local crew, answers your questions, and manages special dates.
Commercial Liability Coverage We are a fully bonded and insured company. Our $2M policy ensures that in the rare event of an accident, the site is covered.
Types of Headstones We Clean & Restore:
Flush Marker (Granite or Bronze) A grave marker set level with the ground, made of granite or bronze, that doesn't rise above the surrounding grass.
Bevel/Hickey Marker Also called a hickey marker, this flat-based marker has a slightly raised, angled top edge for easier reading.
Slant Monument A marker with its inscribed face angled upward from a flat base, set at a slant rather than fully upright.
Upright Monument A traditional vertical headstone standing upright on a base, the most common style for older cemetery sections.
Ledger Marker A larger, often custom-designed memorial covering multiple burial plots for a family or group.
Custom or Multi-Plot Memorials Tailored maintenance for statues, obelisks, and family plots. We use specialized soft-bristle techniques to protect intricate carvings and delicate stone features.
Grave Site Cleaning Services Overview in Gateway
When you clean a Gateway monument, do you do the back and sides too, or just the front?
The whole stone — front, back, and sides. Algae builds up just as fast on the back of a Gateway monument as the front, even though it's rarely looked at.
Our family's older Gateway plot has an uneven, cracked slab. Could this trace back to the 1964 earthquake?
It's possible. That quake dropped some coastal ground in Southcentral Alaska by several feet, and older Gateway slabs poured before anyone accounted for that shift still show it decades later. We break out the failed section and rebuild it.
Do you handle cleaning for large private mausoleums in Gateway, or just individual headstones?
We handle both. Private mausoleums in Gateway get the same photo-documented process as a standard headstone, just scaled up, with more detail work on carved or glass elements.
