The Tending Standard of Care in Kingston

  • Eco-Friendly Stone Restoration We avoid harsh pressure washing. Instead, we use biodegradable cleaners and soft bristle brushes to remove years of dirt and mildew, protecting the original finish of the monument.
  • Detailed Paint Restoration Using professional-grade stone paint, we re-fill the lettering on the marker. This improves visibility and protects the engraving from erosion.
  • 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.
  • Photo & Condition Reports After each visit, you receive a detailed photo and report so you can see the results — no matter where you are.
  • Custom Care Planning Have a special anniversary coming up? Your manager can schedule a visit to align with an important date.
  • Fully Insured Operations We carry comprehensive liability coverage up to $2 million. The memorial is covered by our liability policy during the work.

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.

Expert Insights on Grave Marker Restoration in Kingston

Is black lichen etched into slate and granite permanent in Kingston?

Partly, and a biocide lets it die back over weeks, because scraping would pull stone off with it.

Will a wire brush get moss off a stone in Kingston faster?

No. Scratched stone holds moisture, so moss grows back faster on it than on a smooth face.

Can oriental bittersweet vines harm a family stone in Kingston?

Yes, so it is cut at the base and the stems are treated, because roots left in the ground regrow within a season.
