The Open Valley Wind Scour

Avra Valley is wide open. The wind picks up speed across miles of desert scrub. It hits the cemeteries with force, carrying sharp sand. This acts like a constant sandblaster.

Over time, this grit strips the polish off granite markers, leaving them dull and gray. If you are looking for headstone cleaning services near me because the stone looks "frosted," that is wind erosion. We apply stone enhancers to fill the micro-scratches and restore the shine.

Flash Flood Washouts

The soil here is loose and sandy. When monsoons hit, water moves in sheets. It washes the dirt out from under the base of monuments. We see headstones tilting forward because the ground disappeared. Our grave site cleaning services include checking the grade. We backfill the washout and stabilize the foundation.

Sun Bleached Inscriptions

There is zero shade. The UV exposure is intense. It burns the paint out of engravings. The text fades into the stone. We specialize in cleaning stone gravestones and re-inking the letters with UV-stable paint. We make sure the name is readable against the bright desert background.
