What You’re Seeing on the Stone
Over time, monuments naturally develop layers of biological growth—algae, lichen, and staining caused by moisture and exposure to the elements.
This buildup can obscure the inscription and accelerate surface deterioration if left untreated. Proper cleaning removes this growth safely, restores readability, and helps preserve the stone without causing damage. When the name begins to fade, it becomes harder to read—and easier to overlook. Restoring clarity returns the name to view and restores a sense of recognition to what it represents.
We use safe, non-damaging techniques designed to remove biological growth while preserving the integrity of the stone—incorporating conservation-grade biological cleaning solutions, including D/2, where appropriate for monument preservation.
