We created 100 lovely pavers featuring Flora and Fauna images, each with the English word, the Aboriginal word, and the Aboriginal phonetic pronunciation, set in thick Sesame granite with gentle grey paint fill to be scattered around the children's play area.
Used for stone urban landscape paving, public art stone engraving, heritage paver signage, interpretive paving panels, and durable outdoor stone engraving.
We begin by carefully preparing each stone surface to achieve a clean and stable base for engraving. Using fine-detail photopolymer or vinyl masking combined with CNC-guided sandblasting, we achieve precision consistency across every element—from simple lettering to intricate artwork. Once engraved, inscriptions can be paint-filled with high-grade epoxy for enhanced visibility and long-term weather resistance, or left as natural etchings for a subtle, timeless look. This process guarantees a finish that not only looks striking on day one but will endure in demanding outdoor environments for decades.
Note: Light coloured stone does not provide much contrast, so painting this type is recommended.
Australia’s leading stone engraving specialists.
Our Stone Sandblast Engraving Service provides a timeless and highly detailed method for creating lasting inscriptions on stone surfaces. Using precision automated sandblasting, a high-pressure stream of abrasive material is directed through a stencil to carve text, logos, or images into the stone. This process allows for exceptional clarity, depth, and contrast, creating a permanent finish that stands the test of time.
Sandblast engraving is ideal for architectural features, garden stones, signage, headstones, memorial plaques, and commemorative pieces. It is suitable for a wide range of natural stones, including granite, marble, sandstone, and bluestone. The process produces a professional, clean-cut look that can be left natural or enhanced with paint-filled detail for greater visibility.
How do you engrave stone?
We use the sandblasting engraving process for stone. Sandblast engraving is a process that uses high-pressure abrasive blasting through a stencil to carve designs, text, or images into the surface of the stone. It gives a clear, crisp engraving. We have a variety of sandblasting machines. Our main stone engraving system is our Automatic CNC sandblast system, which creates a very consistent and even finish across the whole job, making a much better process than the old manual methods.
What types of stone can be engraved?
Any stone can be engraved including granite, marble, sandstone, bluestone, Travertine, Limestone, and other natural stones. Each stone type gives a unique finish.
How deep is the engraving?
Depth can vary depending on the stone and design requirements. Typically, it creates a recessed engraving that can be left natural or paint-filled for contrast.
Is sandblast engraving permanent?
Yes. Sandblasting creates a recessed design that is highly durable and resistant to weathering, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Can logos, images, and detailed artwork be engraved?
Yes. The process allows for fine detail, making it suitable for text, logos, symbols, and even photographic-style images (with halftone techniques).
Can the engraved areas be colour-filled?
Yes. Paint-filling can be added to recessed areas for enhanced contrast and readability, especially on darker stones.
Do you supply the stone?
In most cases the customer supplies the stone, and we engrave it for them.
How big a piece of stone can you engrave?
We have the capacity to engrave any piece os stone. We often engrave large slabs measuring 2400 x 1200mm.
What applications are most common?
Popular uses include architectural signage, public art, architectural signage, garden and landscape features, commemorative plaques, memorial headstones, and corporate branding on stone surfaces.
