Headstone Cleaning

Granite Headstone Cleaning

Granite is built to last for generations — but even granite darkens. Lichen, moss, algae, and years of hard-water buildup slowly cover the surface until the inscription fades from view. We clean it back to life, gently and by hand.

Cleaning That Protects the Stone

Gentle by Hand, Never Harsh

Our method uses plenty of clean water, soft natural-bristle brushes, and a pH-neutral biological cleaning solution made specifically for stone. It lifts away lichen and grime without pressure washing, bleach, or acids — all of which can permanently scar granite and cause it to weather faster.

The biological solution keeps working for months after we leave, so many stones actually look better a month later than the day we finished.

Simple, Honest Pricing

Hard water is a real factor here. Cemetery irrigation leaves mineral deposits on granite over time, and heavy sprinkler exposure and shade speed up how quickly growth returns. For stones that catch a lot of spray, a light annual cleaning is the gentlest, most cost-effective way to keep the memorial readable year-round.

Granite cleaning starts at $200 and is priced by the size of the marker. Every cleaning includes dated before & after photos, whether you live around the corner or across the country.
