Sand Carving
High-pressure sand cuts crisp letters, borders, and images deep into the granite surface. The most durable form of lettering — resistant to weathering for generations.
From a simple flat marker to a fully custom shaped memorial. All designed, engraved, and installed by the Marsh family. No outsourcing.
Every granite color we offer has a real sample in our Durand and Burton shops. You touch it. You see how it polishes, how it holds detail, how it looks in the light.
Popular choices include Jet Black, Dakota Mahogany, American Gray, and Black Galaxy — but the right choice is the one that fits the person you are honoring. We will help you find it.

A diamond-tipped tool produces photorealistic portraits and landscapes directly on polished granite. Lifelike detail that sandblasting alone cannot achieve.
Custom silhouettes, beveled edges, and three-dimensional relief work carved directly into the granite. Required for specialty shapes and high-detail custom monuments.
Cast bronze plaques mounted on granite bases. Standard for government-furnished veteran markers and popular for flat markers that require long-term legibility.
