Grave Cleaning & Headstone Restoration in Benson

The San Pedro Wind Tunnel

Benson sits in the San Pedro River valley. It acts like a funnel for wind. High gusts carry sharp grit that hits headstones constantly. This acts like a sandblaster, stripping the polish off the windward side of the monument.

The stone goes dull and matte. If you are searching for headstone cleaning services near me because the marker looks "foggy," that is wind erosion. We apply stone enhancers to fill the micro-scratches and restore the depth of color. We create a barrier against the grit.

Historic Rail Soot

Benson is a railroad town. Decades of coal and diesel soot have settled into the soil. When dust blows, it carries this oily grime. It stains the stone dark gray. Water won't wash it off. We use specialized degreasers in our grave site cleaning services to lift this industrial film without damaging the porous stone.

Monsoon Erosion

The ground here is loose. Summer storms cause flash runoff. We see soil washing out from under foundations, causing monuments to tilt. Our tombstone repair and restoration teams monitor the grade. We backfill washouts to keep the memorial standing straight.

Why is the stone losing its shine?

Wind channeling through the San Pedro Valley sandblasts the granite. We clean the pores and apply a stone enhancer to restore the shine.

That is often historic railroad soot mixed with dust. It is oily. We use a degreaser to lift it safely.

The headstone is leaning. Can you fix it?
