Living in the Superstition Shadow
Gold Canyon is right at the base of the mountain. The view is great, but the wind is brutal. It rushes down the slopes carrying sharp granite grit. It hits the cemeteries like a sandblaster.
This scours the polish off headstones. They go dull and matte. If you are looking for headstone cleaning services near me because the stone has lost its shine, that is physical erosion. We apply a sacrificial coating that takes the abuse from the wind so the memorial doesn't have to.
Slope Washout
The terrain here is sloped. When monsoons hit, water runs fast. It washes the dirt out from under the downhill side of monuments. We call it "undercutting."
The stone starts to lean. If you ignore it, it tips over. Our grave site cleaning services include a structural check. We backfill the washout and stabilize the ground to keep the tribute standing straight against gravity.
Sun Bleached Lettering
There is no shade on the foothills. The sun burns the paint out of engravings. The name disappears. We specialize in memorial restoration services that re-ink these letters with UV-stable paint. We make sure the history is readable, even in the bright desert glare.
