Keeping Clear Lake Graves Beautiful: Our Services
-
Deep Stain Removal & Care From industrial pollutants to natural lichen, we carefully strip away layers of buildup. We treat the stone to resist future growth and inspect the base for any structural issues. -
Engraving Renewal If the writing has become hard to read, we clean out the lettering grooves and apply fresh, weather-resistant pigment to restore contrast. -
Full Site Upkeep Beyond the stone, we care for the immediate area. We remove debris, trim encroaching grass, and ensure the plot looks attended to and respected. -
Verified Care Updates We believe in proof. You get a timestamped photo report after every visit, showing exactly what work was performed and the current state of the plot. -
Professional Oversight Your account is managed by a specialist who reviews every photo report before sending it to you, ensuring our high standards are met. -
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.
Cemetery Clean Up & Site Care in Clear Lake
Families sometimes want to pressure wash a Clear Lake headstone themselves. What actually goes wrong?
Iowa's freeze-thaw winters leave a lot of stone near Clear Lake with cracks too small to see until pressure finds them and drives water straight in.
There's no water source at the rural Clear Lake cemetery. Does that change what can get cleaned?
Planned for well ahead of time. Whatever a Clear Lake visit needs, water included, arrives with the crew.
Bleach seems like it'd get a Clear Lake headstone whiter faster. What's the downside?
For maybe a week — then the granite itself starts breaking down. A Clear Lake marker hit with bleach a few times ends up patchier than plain dirt ever left it.
