Beyond Stone Solutions

The La Rue family reached out to Beyond Stone Solutions with a request that went beyond typical stone care—they wanted to restore a headstone and memorial stone in Arrowhead Gardens, Glendale, that had become nearly unreadable.

Years of Arizona sun and mineral-rich water had taken their toll. Thick calcium deposits obscured the granite's natural beauty, and UV exposure had faded the engraved letters to the point where the tributes were barely legible. For the family, this wasn't just about aesthetics—it was about preserving the memory of someone they loved.

Our craftsmen began with a careful deep cleaning, using specialized professional solutions to dissolve the calcium buildup without harming the stone itself. Granite is durable, but memorial work requires an extra level of precision and care.

To restore the engraved letters, we applied Lithichrome Stone Paint—a product formulated with sunlight-resistant pigments and resins specifically designed for outdoor monument restoration. The result: the tributes were once again bright, clear, and legible.

For nearly 50 years, our team has handled restoration projects throughout the Phoenix area—from countertops to floors to irreplaceable memorial stones. It was our privilege to help the La Rue family honor their loved one with a restoration that will last for years to come.

A beautiful fountain should be a showpiece — but when mineral-rich water runs constantly, calcium buildup can turn cantera and tile into a discolored, crusty mess. That's exactly what happened to this fountain in a Scottsdale outdoor living area.

The homeowners faced a dilemma: traditional cleaning methods weren't strong enough to remove the scale, but harsh chemicals could permanently damage the porous cantera surface and the delicate tile work.

That's where proper restoration expertise makes all the difference. Our technicians used a media blasting process — precise, chemical-free, and designed specifically for natural stone and tile. We carefully removed every layer of calcium buildup without harming the underlying surfaces. Then we cleaned the grout lines and tiles in the small pool area, and once everything was fully dry, we sealed both the cantera and the grout to make future maintenance easier and more successful.

Family-owned since 1976, Beyond Stone Solutions has restored thousands of Arizona fountains, patios, and outdoor stone features. This kind of work requires patience, the right equipment, and decades of hands-on experience with the Southwest's unique water and climate challenges.

The fountain is now fully restored — back to being the elegant focal point it was always meant to be. Our clients were thrilled with the transformation.

These Phoenix homeowners loved their travertine floors — but over time, the reality set in. High-traffic areas like the kitchen, entryway, and hallway to the garage had lost their luster. Dirt and grime had worked their way deep into the grout lines, and regular sweeping and mopping just weren't cutting it anymore.

They reached out to Beyond Stone Solutions for a professional deep clean.

We started by applying commercial-grade cleaning solutions and allowing ample dwell time — a step that's easy to skip but critical for loosening embedded contaminants. The grout lines needed extra care, so we hand-scrubbed each one with soft bristle brushes to lift stubborn buildup without damaging the stone. Then we brought in our powerful (but gentle) floor machines to accomplish what home tools simply can't: a true deep clean that reaches below the surface.

Room by room, we restored the stone's natural warmth and beauty. Our final step was applying a professional-grade sealer to help inhibit staining and keep the floors looking fresh longer.

For nearly 50 years, our team has helped Arizona families rediscover the stone they fell in love with. This Phoenix travertine transformation is a great reminder: sometimes your floors don't need replacing — they just need the right care.
