Tarmacadam in Dublin & Kildare
A smooth, hardwearing black surface laid hot and rolled to a clean finish. Quick to install, excellent value and well suited to long or large driveways.
Tarmacadam is the practical choice for long lanes and larger driveways: it's quick to lay, durable and costs less per square metre than most alternatives. A good tar job lasts for decades, and a worn surface can often be resurfaced rather than fully replaced.
Cracks and potholes almost always trace back to the base. We excavate, build up the stone sub-base in compacted layers, lay a binder course where the ground needs it and finish with a rolled wearing course, with proper edges and falls so water doesn't pool.

Common Questions
Do you offer free quotes?expand_more
Yes — every driveway starts with a free, no-obligation site visit and a written, fixed-price quote within ten days.
Where do you work?expand_more
We install driveways across all of County Dublin and County Kildare. Based in Naas, we're never far away.
Which driveway surface should I choose?expand_more
It depends on budget, the size and slope of the site, and the look you want. Tarmacadam and gravel are the best value, cobblelock is durable and easy to repair, porcelain gives a clean modern look, and granite is a premium natural stone that lasts a lifetime. We'll recommend the right one on the site visit.
How long does a new driveway take?expand_more
Most domestic driveways take three to seven working days, depending on the size, the surface and the weather. We'll give you a start date and a realistic timescale in your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway?expand_more
Usually not for a driveway at the front of an existing house, but a new vehicular entrance or dropped kerb needs permission from the local authority, and some areas have rules on surface water. We'll tell you what applies to your property.
Will you remove my old driveway?expand_more
Yes — we can lift and dispose of your existing surface as part of the job. It's an optional extra in our instant estimate, and we'll price it exactly on the site visit.
Do you subcontract any work?expand_more
No — every job is carried out by our own in-house crew, start to finish.
