Grave Cleaning & Headstone Restoration in New River

Flash Flood Erosion

New River lives up to its name. When it rains, the water moves fast across this rugged terrain. It cuts channels through the soil. We constantly see washouts under headstones. The dirt disappears, and the monument starts to tilt. If you ignore it, the stone will topple. Our grave site cleaning services include a structural check. We can backfill the foundation and stabilize the marker before gravity takes over.

Coarse Sand Abrasion

The wind here carries heavy, coarse sand from the open desert. It acts like a grinder on polished granite. Over time, the face of the stone goes dull and matte. If you are searching for headstone cleaning services near me because the shine is gone, that is physical wear. We apply sealants that fill those micro-scratches and restore the depth of color.

Wildlife Burrows

We are in the wild here. Coyotes and rodents dig dens under the cool concrete bases of monuments. This undermines the structure. We check for animal activity on every visit. Our tombstone repair and restoration process involves filling these voids to keep the stone level and secure.

Professional Grave Stone Cleaning Services in New River

New River Question Why is the headstone leaning?
Flash floods in New River wash the soil out from under the base. We monitor for this 'undercutting' and can level the monument.
New River Question There are holes under the base. What caused that?
That is likely wildlife (coyotes or ground squirrels) digging for cool soil. We fill the burrows to stabilize the foundation.
New River Question Can I schedule Tending's services for the National Cemetery?
Yes, we serve the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona and follow all regulations for veteran marker care.
New River Question Why is the stone losing its polish?
Wind-blown coarse sand acts like sandpaper. We deep-clean the stone and apply a stone enhancer to bring back the shine.
Trust & Quality Do you guarantee the work?
We are happy to address any issues that you see in the photo report that is sent to you after each job, or if you visit the gravesite personally, free of charge. The ongoing warranty is valid while your subscription plan is active. After a one-time cleaning/restoration, the warranty period is 14 days.
Services & Plans I’m not sure about the monument’s condition.
We’ll perform an initial inspection and send you photos with a suggested plan.
Location & Access The cemetery doesn’t allow outside workers.
Cemeteries that accept paid maintenance are required to allow licensed contractors. We’ll handle access permissions for you.
Why Grave Care Matters Can I clean the monument myself?
You can, but be careful. Many household cleaners damage stone. We use pH-balanced, professional products that are safe for marble, granite, and bronze.
You can gently clean a headstone using a soft cloth or sponge and mild dish soap mixed with water. Avoid using harsh household cleaners, bleach, vinegar, or power washing, as these can permanently damage the stone’s surface or lettering.
For best results and long-term preservation, we recommend leaving cleaning to our professionally trained team, who use stone-safe solutions and techniques tailored to each material type.
Payments & Subscriptions What happens if payment fails?
We’ll notify you and retry within a few days.
App & Support How do I log in if I paid on the website?
Use the same email to sign in, or contact us if you experience any issues.
Special Requests Can you bring flowers?
Not yet, but follow us on social media — we’ll announce when it’s available.
