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 Clive
Our Clive headstone's lettering has faded to almost nothing. Worth trying to fix?
Usually — the carving itself tends to survive even when the paint's completely gone. Clear a Clive marker's grooves and the name is typically still cut in.
Our Clive bronze marker corroded fast after a hard winter. Could road salt be responsible?
Yes — road salt spray near Clive winter roads works into bronze's protective coating faster than plain moisture does, accelerating corrosion well beyond a normal season's wear.
A storm left debris across our Clive family plot. Does that get cleared too?
We take care of it. A Clive plot hit by a bad system moves up the schedule — cleared and checked before anything cosmetic.
