Tumbled pebbles and rock are by-products of the extraction process. Blocks or boulders that are too small for profile or other use are either broken by a hammer to a certain size, usually 300mm x 300mm and random length or crushed in a crusher to four different pebble sizes.

Our split block/garden edging range includes blocks with four sides cut by a diamond, smooth finish, with the two ends split on a block splitter which gives a rustic look. The size of these blocks will vary and can be used for a low wall, i.e. two blocks high with mortar in between, or for garden edging.

Photo of sandstone The sandstone from the Ablatio Quarry comprises hard and massive, predominantly fine to coarse grained sandstone, and varies in colours from caramel browns, salt and pepper, lavender to pink and white stone. Ablatio sandstone is a hard stone mined in the Helidon region of South West Queensland.

The sandstone from our quarry, is not layered in bands as is most sedimentary rock, but in swirls and circles. This natural rock formation and colour allows us to have a competitive advantage over other suppliers of sandstone, even those on the other side of the hill at Helidon. Our colour is sought after for many end uses including cladding on up-market residential developments in China.

Sandstone profile The stone is ideal for use in building as blocks, tiles, pavers, landscape, complex and simple profiling, sculpting and agregate. Two computer controlled wire saws are in operation.
