The Company

Inish Pebble was set up in 1998 just outside Kilmore Quay in Co. Wexford.  The pebbles and stones are quarried from gravel beds laid down by the sea over thousands of years.  In the early part of the 20th century the Inish and Ballyteige Slob was drained so reclaiming the land from the sea and revealing the gravel beds.  The pebbles, after being taken from the gravel beds, are washed and screened ( sifted or sized) by large screening machines.  The resulting material is graded from sand to large cobbles covering a wide range of uses from standard building materials for mortar, concrete and pebble dashed wall renderings to decorative garden layouts and driveways.  In the past it was common for these materials to be taken directly from beaches but for a number years this practice has been strictly prohibited - now we offer again the possibility of enjoying these beautiful stones in your gardens and driveways.  Our prices are more than competitive, see our Enquiries page.

Kilmore Quay is a beautiful heritage fishing village with white thatched cottages and interesting pubs and restaurants where you can quench your thirst and get a reasonably priced meal, it's well worth a look around if you are intending paying us a visit and is situated 20 minutes from Rosslare Europort
