Rock of Ages Sandblasting — Monument Engraving

Our Work

Craftsmanship, up close

A selection of monuments, custom artwork, and restorations we've been honored to create.

Prepping and sandblasting a custom granite monument in our shop.

Our Process

Prep & sandblasting, start to finish

Watch a memorial take shape — from masking the bare granite to blasting the design permanently into the stone.

  1. 1

    Mask & stencil

    A rubber stencil of the full design is applied to the polished granite.

  2. 2

    Weed the design

    Letters, dates, and artwork are carefully cut and peeled away by hand.

  3. 3

    Sandblast deep

    Fine abrasive is blasted through the openings, cutting the design deep into the stone.
