Rocks for a garden

wellbutty

Just wondering if anyone here knows where you can get rocks for a garden rockery (i.e. without nicking them off the German Passive Homes estate on the Williamstown Road!). These would need to be around 20-40cm long and I'd need around 200 of them. I'm prepared to pay for them and will collect. Thanks

ring any local quarries around.... and see if they let you pick up rough cuts at a good price....

Thanks, I rang Roadstone and for health and safety reasons, they no longer allow people to pick the stones and they don't pick and sell them themselves.

I did get a number from them for a place in Ballyhale who allow rock picking so I'm calling up there tomorrow to see how it goes. It's called Kiltorcan Quarry

I suppose I'm a reckless thrill seeker by picking up rocks.

This health and safety thing is just gone nuts. Can't we pass a law saying 'if you do something thick, its your own fault'

Its very much illegal to remove stones or sand from the beach,

Prohibited Acts:

- remove any sand, stones, seaweed or soil from the beach, except in accordance with
legislation and except with the consent of the Council
