Patio - New Project

    Hi all,

    Looking for a bit of advice there. I'm going to take on a new project for the summer and build a retaining wall and patio in the back garden.

    There is McMahons and Heithon Buckleys. Is there anywhere else I can source
    1. Good quality patio slabs
    2. Bricks for a retaining wall, both ones requiring mortar and those that don't.
    2. Hardcore bedding for the patio

    If anyone has any experience in building their own and where they sourced the material can they let me know?

    Thanks for the help
    James

    I went direct to a quarry up in Doolin. Look up Doolin Grey Limestone for some pictures. Think it was around 30-35 per sq meter.
    Another option is Roadstone out the Dublin road where you'll get the likes of Indian sandstone.

    For hardcore again you're aswell off going direct to a quarry, we got ours from Lynchs in Croom.

    Both of the above delivered.

    Ask Roadstone out past Castleconnell if they have any damaged pallets of stone as they sell them off sometimes and there might be only one or two unuseable pieces in the pile.
