Over 150 Years of Stone Craftsmanship
From Aherla limestone to modern fabrication in Ovens, the Hickey family has worked in stone for over 150 years.
Our Heritage
Widely regarded as one of the oldest stone fabricators in Ireland, the Hickey family can trace their origins in the stone industry back over 150 years.
We began as monumental sculptors, manufacturing headstones from locally-sourced Cork limestone in Aherla.
When the quarries in Aherla were no longer viable, we expanded into the quarrying of limestone in Tipperary to ensure a constant supply of top quality Irish limestone for our products.
A limestone headstone erected in Kilcrea Abbey in Cork in circa. 1765 bearing the trade name of "D. Hickey", "Aherla".

Craftsmanship Through the Generations
Following our move to Ovens in the early 1980's, Hickey's was one of the first companies in Ireland to expand into the manufacture of granite worktops and fireplaces, with our generations of experience in stone fabrication giving us that extra edge when it comes to handling natural and manufactured stone products.
While we are no longer involved in the quarrying of stone in Ireland, we’re still as selective about our stone as we were back then.
We have continually developed and adapted to new processes and methods, and we now have a workshop equipped with the most advanced stone processing CNC machinery available. Coupled with an unparalleled level of craftsmanship, skill and knowledge of the stone industry, we manufacture to the highest standard possible.
