How to Maintain Your Headstone for Long-Lasting Beauty

Posted on May 10, 2025 | By Bedrock Boulders Team

A headstone is more than a marker—it’s a lasting tribute to a loved one’s legacy. Proper maintenance ensures it remains beautiful for generations. At Bedrock Boulders, our engineered stone headstones are designed for minimal upkeep, but a few simple steps can keep them looking pristine.

Start by cleaning gently with a soft brush and water to remove dirt or debris; avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. For stubborn stains, a mild, pH-neutral cleaner is safe for engineered stone. Check for signs of wear annually, especially after heavy storms, to ensure the headstone remains stable. Unlike natural stone, our engineered stone resists weathering, cracking, and fading, making it ideal for Houston’s humid environment.

Additionally, consider the surrounding area—trim grass or plants to prevent overgrowth that could obscure the memorial. If your headstone includes engravings, ensure they remain legible by cleaning them carefully.

At Bedrock Boulders, we provide guidance on care specific to our materials, ensuring your memorial stays vibrant with little effort. Want to learn more about preserving your headstone? Contact us for expert tips tailored to your memorial’s design.
