Trusted Grave Care Services: Client Stories

Elisabeth Buchanan — Tending Client
Feb 20, 2026
“We were considering replacing the grave marker when I stumbled across tending on Facebook. After a little research I decided to give it a try. There was some back and forth which I was happy to comply as they made contact with the property to make sure they did it with permissions in place. Here is before and after. We live a distance but I am planning to try to see it in person and hope it looks like the picture. We have a family plot next to it that’s much older that looks amazing. Now I won’t be as sad looking at it. We started with a one time service but are discussing more frequent upkeep in the future.”

Headstone Repair & Preservation FAQ in Chesapeake

Our tall Chesapeake monument tilted after a harsh freeze. Can you reset it?
Cyclical thermal shocks destroy the structural ground density beneath Chesapeake memorials. We elevate the leaning granite securely using geared tripods. Crews then install heavy-duty drainage gravel to combat the massive freeze-thaw forces.
Why don't you use a pressure washer to clean Chesapeake headstones?
High-pressure water blasts the factory paint out of the lettering and forces moisture deep into the Chesapeake granite. We exclusively utilize low-pressure chemical soft-washing.
Do you have the capacity to clean a large private mausoleum in Chesapeake?
Yes, our Chesapeake field units are fully equipped to soft-wash expansive family tombs and mausoleums without relying on damaging high-pressure wands.
Do you clean rust from old iron urns off Chesapeake monuments?
Rusted iron crossbars bleed acidic orange sludge across Chesapeake gravesites. We deploy specialized chelating gels that pull the embedded iron minerals out of the granite pores safely.
