Fitting artificial roll-out grass on a graveside is a practical solution for maintaining a neat appearance. At We Tidy Graves we have good experience of fitting this type of grass finish and will do a complete and efficient job.
Firstly we measure the graveside to determine the amount of artificial grass required and then clear the area of any debris, w**ds, and existing vegetation.
We ensure the ground is level by filling any low spots with soil and compacting it firmly and lay a w**d barrier fabric over the prepared area to prevent future w**d growth.
We would then unroll the artificial grass and cut it to fit the graveside dimensions using a sharp utility knife. The edges of the grass are then secured with landscaping staples or U-pins, spacing them approximately six inches apart to ensure the grass stays in place. For a seamless finish we would gently brush the grass fibres upright and spread sand infill evenly across the surface, which helps to weigh down the grass and maintain its appearance.
As part of a maintenance contract we then regularly inspect the grass to remove any debris and keep it looking pristine. This process results in a beautifully maintained graveside with minimal upkeep.

One of our main jobs when maintaining graves is pulling out w**ds and clearing moss out of stones. It's fiddly and time consuming but can make such a difference.
If the graves has a thick layer of mulch or decorative stones, like white marble chippings or silver granite, helps suppress w**d growth by blocking sunlight. We have found though through our maintainance work that many graves grow also in the surface and especially those w**ds that spread across like a carpet.
For existing w**ds we aim to pull them out by the roots to ensure they don't return, using tools that minimize soil disturbance.

Regularly checking and removing any new growth is key to preventing them from spreading.
For a more permanent solution we can also use landscape fabric beneath the decorative stones, which provides an extra barrier against w**ds. This consistent care ensures that the graveside remains a respectful and serene resting place, honoring the memory of those who rest there.

To repaint unreadable letters on a headstone these are the steps which I follow to get the best results. I start by cleaning the headstone with a mild soap and water solution to remove dirt and debris, ensuring that the area is dry before proceeding.
I would then use a small wire brush to gently clean the indentations of the letters. This will help the paint adhere better.
Obviously selecting a high-quality, outdoor-grade paint suitable for stone is important Acrylic or oil-based paints often work well.
Carefully using a fine-tipped paintbrush and fill in the letters with paint. This takes time to ensure neatness and precision. After the first coat dries I would apply a second coat if needed for better coverage and durability.
Once the paint is completely dry I would sometimes apply a clear sealant to protect it from weathering.
This careful step by step process will make the inscriptions legible and honour your loved one’s memory.
Some headstones require a lot of attention especially the older monuments so for good efficient work give us a call or WhatsApp

Lettering becomes faded over time and needs to be carefully repainted. It is usually best to go with the colour with greatest contrast. This can be challenging with some of the more unusual colour of headstones. The photographs are of a recent example completed recently.
