Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our stone engraving services, materials, and on-site engraving process.

General Stone Engraving

How is the engraving done?

All engraving is permanently cut directly into the stone using professional-grade equipment. Nothing is printed, applied, or surface-painted.

Will the engraving fade over time?

No. Because the design is physically carved into the stone, it will not peel, fade, or wear away under normal outdoor conditions.

Do you help with layout and design?

Yes. We work with you on layout, spacing, and overall design to ensure the engraving fits the stone naturally and looks balanced.

Slate Signs

What can be engraved on slate signs?

We can engrave text, house numbers, logos, symbols, and decorative designs. Slate is ideal for both simple and detailed artwork.

Are slate signs suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Slate is naturally weather-resistant and performs very well outdoors when engraved properly.

Do you offer custom sizes?

Yes. We offer standard sizes and can also work with custom dimensions depending on the project.

How do I maintain a slate sign?

Slate signs are low maintenance. Occasional rinsing with water is typically all that’s needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.

On-Site (Mobile) Engraving

What types of surfaces can be engraved on-site?

We engrave natural stone, boulders, slabs, granite, bluestone, and select hard surfaces that cannot be moved.

Is there a size limit for on-site engraving?

There is no practical size limit. On-site engraving is ideal for large or permanently installed stones.

Will the engraving process damage the surrounding area?

No. We take great care to protect the surrounding area and use controlled techniques designed for precision and minimal disruption.

Can on-site engraving be done in any weather?

Most projects can be completed in typical outdoor conditions. Severe weather may require rescheduling for best results.

How do I prepare for on-site engraving?

We’ll guide you through any preparation steps ahead of time. Typically, clear access to the stone is all that’s needed.
