Ag Lime / Lime Sulphur Mix's
We produce traditional, high-quality agricultural lime, crushed to Fertmark specifications for consistent, reliable results.With lime sourced from seven quarry sites across the Hurunui district, we’re able to deliver a fast, efficient, and cost-effective service . One of those quarries even has a significant naturally occurring magnesium content.Alongside our standard Ag Lime, we offer an Elemental Sulphur–Lime mix designed to improve nutrient uptake and soil performance. Elemental sulphur helps plants absorb nitrogen more efficiently, leading to stronger growth and more cost-effective fertilisation.Our clients have reported an increase in clover and a more resilient pasture as a result of this product.If you want to know more about our mixes or how we can tailor one for your property?

Lime Chip
Tracking Rock
Our tracking rock for dairy laneways packs down into a smooth, durable surface that stands up to constant cow traffic.The nature of the rock means it binds together, creating a road-base-like track that doesn’t develop soft spots or holes — even through those long, wet winter months.
Clients tell us their laneways still look freshly laid years later.Don’t just take our word for it — check out Nick Ensore’s feedback on our Facebook page.With multiple quarry locations, we also supply a hard, marble-like lime chip, available in white, cream, and red tones — perfect for driveways and landscaping.It holds its shape for decades, meaning it lasts a lifetime — and its firm texture means no dust or lime gets tracked into your home.
Yard Bases
Hard packed basses
Lime is an excellent choice for equestrian arena/stable bases, and cattle or sheep yards. It packs down creating a firm, durable surface that stands up to heavy use.Because limestone is naturally alkaline, it helps neutralise the acid in urine, keeping your yards cleaner and more hygienic for your animals.Plus it looks great!!
