Marble grinding and crystal polishing in Al Ajwad, Jeddah
Al Ajwad is a planned residential district east of the Haramain expressway with villas, mid-rise apartment blocks and commercial shop frontages along Al Ajwad Street. Marble and granite floors in lobbies, hallways and retail units face heavy daily foot traffic and accumulation of dust and salt from the dry air. Deep grinding extracts the stone's natural lustre and restores a smooth, light-reflecting surface that feels like new.

Why grinding must come before polishing
The district mixes residential and commercial use, and marble floors are common in villa lobbies, apartment entrances and shop frontages, requiring regular polishing to maintain their appearance.
-
Worn lobbies and entrance floors
Marble floors in lobbies and hallways endure high pressure from daily traffic, and grinding extracts natural lustre and restores a smooth surface.
-
Post-construction stone preparation
Salt and dust from the dry air accumulate on the stone and hide its colour and shine, and polishing removes this dull layer.
-
Scratched or acid-etched stone
A smooth, glossy marble surface reflects light and improves the brightness of lobbies and hallways in villas and apartment buildings.
-
Ongoing maintenance schedule
Regular polishing extends the life of the floor and preserves its beauty in residential villas and apartment blocks.

What changes about marble grinding and crystal polishing in Al Ajwad
Marble floors in apartment buildings and shops along Al Ajwad Street lose their shine faster than floors in purely residential areas because of heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic. For the whole method, see what marble grinding and crystal polishing involves.
-
The first reason
Dust and salt dull the surface
The dry air in east Jeddah carries fine particles that settle on marble, and salt crystallises on the surface, hiding its natural shine. Grinding removes the dull top layer and reveals the stone's original colour and lustre.
-
The second reason
Heavy foot traffic leaves fine scratches
Lobbies and corridors in villas and apartment buildings see constant daily traffic that leaves microscopic scratches. Diamond-pad grinding smooths the surface and removes old wear marks.
-
The third reason
Polishing restores a smooth, light-reflecting finish
Once the dull layer and scratches are removed, the surface becomes smooth and reflective. The stone's natural lustre emerges fully and stays bright for an extended period.

A true mirror finish
The surface reflects light cleanly because the stone itself is flat, not because a coating sits on top.
Edges as polished as the field
Hand-detailing at skirting lines, doorframes and column bases matches the field polish.
No residue left on site
Grinding produces a wet slurry that is vacuumed and removed before the polishing stage begins.

What is different about East Jeddah
East Jeddah sits against the foothills, beyond the Haramain expressway and the ring roads, and it is where the city meets the desert edge. Apartment districts such as Al Safa and Al Naseem give way to villa areas and to new schemes still being graded out of bare ground. Dust here is the main story: fine desert sand on the spring and autumn winds, and grit from plots under construction. Some districts lie on the wadi lines that drain the hills, so a winter storm leaves mud on the streets that dries to powder.

Questions worth asking first
Frequency depends on foot traffic. High-traffic villas benefit from annual polishing, while quieter homes may need it every two years. An initial inspection determines the condition and best schedule.
Surface scratches and marks are removed completely by grinding. Very deep scratches may require specialist assessment, but most surface wear disappears.
The smooth, glossy surface may look slippery, but it is safe. The friction between smooth stone and shoe soles provides good grip in normal dry conditions.
Time depends on floor area and condition. A medium-sized villa takes one to two days. The crew measures the space during the first visit and confirms the schedule.
Polishing reveals the stone's natural lustre but does not create a permanent protective coating. Regular cleaning and periodic polishing extend the brightness.
Light cleaning with a damp cloth keeps the surface clean. Avoid acidic and abrasive products. Periodic polishing maintains the appearance and lustre.
It is set after we see the job, because the price follows the kind of work, the size of the space, its condition and the time and materials it needs. Send a photo and a short description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Ajwad.
Duration depends on the stone condition and the surface area.
Furniture that cannot be moved by the crew should be moved before arrival.
