14mm grey garden pebble for a tonne bag should probably cost you about €50

id imagine 20mm - 40mm would be something similar

try discount diy in finglas, nice lads and close to you

actually i need to correct myself. local garden centre (in donabate) did not have any and directed me to woodies (yep, that' right....) 8.99 was the price of the cheapest stone in woodies in swords.

The food there is lovely,very freindly staff too...Lovely place to sit back and relax and chat away over a bite to eat and a cuppa tea.:D






You should be able to get pebbles in bulk in Tullys aswell.

Its also a nice place to walk around and look at all the various plants and trees.:)




If you aint bothered about colour or look,just want a few bags or cheap and cheerfull stuff,then the Homebase 20mm gravel is bang on.

Used it in the bottom of many large plant pots and also in a trench with grit.

Does the job perfectly.:)
