Layout Design

Texas Gravestone Care can design both standard and laser engraved layouts. Our designers can work in both black and white, or color, to give your family an idea of what the completed memorial will look. With quick turn-around time and an approval process, we ensure that the layout is approved by both you and your family, making edits and changes upon request.

Laser Etching

Is your client looking for more detail than what traditional sandblasting will allow? Texas Gravestone Care has its own industrial laser machine. We can take photos of loved ones and piece together beautiful layouts that capture the exact detail of the photographs!

Shape Carving

Expanding upon our various engraving styles, we are skilled in shape carving technique and can add a three dimensional carve to emblems, epitaphs, or border designs. If your clients are interested in getting a shape carving, please talk to us about how we can elevate our standard engravings!

Color Litho (Paint)

Our litho options extend beyond traditional black, white, and frosted. Upon request, we can supply various color options for your customers.

On-Site Engraving

We first visit the cemetery and match existing engravings. From there, we create a stencil for the new names, dates, or other emblems that need to be added to the existing stone. We take pride in our ability to create perfect copies of existing engraving styles.

Once we apply the stencil our craftsmen will use a portable sandblast device to engrave the memorial on-site. If the stone is completely blank, we measure the memorial to get its exact dimensions before designing a layout. After a layout is designed and approved, we engrave the stone without needing to remove it from the cemetery!

Chip Repair

Granite is not an invincible stone. We understand that sometimes inclement weather or other various accidents can happen leading to a memorial chipping. Our team is experienced in dealing with all memorial repairs and will work hard to fix the memorial’s damage.

Memorial Foundations

Getting a foundation is especially important for large monuments and memorials. Even for smaller memorials, it is recommended to to get a foundation to prevent the memorial from sinking or leaning in the future. If an existing memorial is beginning to sink or lean, we offer the ability to reinstall the memorial on a foundation. A foundation will need to sit for about two weeks to dry before it will be ready for memorial setting.

Dowel Pins

Texas Gravestone Care wants to ensure safety for families visiting a gravesite. Because of this, we install all of our monuments with dowel pins to prevent the stone from falling off of the base. We spend a lot of time in the cemetery and notice how often families and young children play or rest near memorials. Accidents can happen, but we want to make sure we prevent them with quality installation technique that utilizes industrial dowel pins.
