PebbleTec makes aggregate swimming-pool finishes: textured coatings that blend natural pebbles with cement, pigments and strengthening agents in place of plain plaster. Oldcastle APG, a CRH company, describes the acquisition it completed on 3 November 2021 as adding "a variety of unique and proprietary finishes, characterized by high quality, performance, innovation, and aesthetics" to a portfolio that already included Belgard pavers, Techniseal polymeric sand and MoistureShield decking, positioning the combination as an end-to-end outdoor-living and pool offering.
CRH is a publicly listed company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, founded in 1970. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control, and it is listed as NYSE: CRH and LSE: CRH.

CRH’s Oldcastle APG business unit acquired Pebble Technology International, trading as PebbleTec, the category-defining brand in aggregate swimming pool finishes, from Graycliff Partners on 3 November 2021. PebbleTec, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and operating from five U.S. locations, was folded into Oldcastle APG’s outdoor living portfolio alongside Belgard pavers, Techniseal sealers and MoistureShield decking. Graycliff Partners, the prior owner, is not itself a company in this dataset. Financial terms were not disclosed. Oldcastle APG is a CRH operating business rather than a separate legal entity in this dataset, so the buyer is recorded as CRH.
The parent company of PebbleTec is CRH, a publicly listed company headquartered in Ireland.
