Frequently Asked Questions

Because we supply our product directly to pool builders and pool renovators, we don’t set the retail price to you, the home owner (we have a set trade price we sell our product to builders). It’s then up to the builder to add their markup. While our product can be a little more expensive than standard pebblecrete, the results are simply incomparable!

We sell this range of pebbles as a raw material, to be mixed up into pool finishes by qualified pool builders and pebblecretors.

If you’re a home owner getting a new pool built, you can ask your builder to get in touch with us to get samples and order our products.

Our New Zealand white pebble is sourced from the Deep South of the South Island in the rolling hills of Southland. The raw product comes from ancient riverbed deposits, which are unique to this geographic location. This pebble was forged thousands of years ago by Ice Age glacier movement.

The Government mines all aggregate under strict, stringent control and management, so that the bare minimum of damage is done to the surrounding area.

In its natural state, the pebbles are covered by pure white clay, which is washed away during processing.

The pebble is washed in one of the largest washing plants of its kind available – a Finlay 694 Rinser imported from Ireland and is a beast of a machine. It is a three-deck plant and has a 20-foot deck on top. The Finlay washing plant is feed water from a WP250 water pump, which produces 250,000 litres of water an hour onto the aggregate as it passes over the vibrating screens. The water is drawn from a source of four million litre storage ponds.

The product is not only washed once, but three times to ensure the end product before drying is the cleanest it can possibly be – free from contamination. The finished washed New Zealand White product is blazing white. After washing, it is air dried in a clean, concrete bin until ready for further processing.

The next step is to feed the washed pebble into our rotary drying kiln and screening plant for further drying and screening to precise sizes. The pebble is dried at 260° C as it passes through the drying kiln. From there is it bagged in either one-ton bulk bags or 20kg sealed plastic bags.

Quality control is of utmost importance and testing is done at each stage of production to ensure the product is perfect for our customers.
