What we do
Block paving is one of the most popular choices for Irish driveways, and it is easy to see why. It stands up to the wet and frosty weather we get across Leitrim, Sligo, Galway and beyond, and individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if one ever gets damaged. We lay block paving on a properly compacted base with good drainage, so your driveway stays level and puddle-free for years. Whether you want a classic herringbone pattern or a contemporary charcoal finish, we can design and install it for you. Every job is carried out by our own team, with no subcontractors.
Driveways
Full block paved driveways laid on a compacted, well-drained sub-base.
Paths & Walkways
Garden paths and walkways that link your entrance to the front door or the back garden.
Patios & Courtyards
Block paved patio areas built for outdoor living in the Irish climate.
Edging & Borders
Neat edging and border details that give the finished paving a crisp, professional look.
Pricing note: Block paving is typically priced per square metre and depends on the block type, base preparation needed and the size of the area. Driveways are usually completed in 3-7 days depending on scale.
How it works
- 01
Site Survey
We visit your property, measure the area and check drainage and ground conditions.
- 02
Ground Preparation
We excavate, lay and compact the sub-base so the paving has a solid, stable foundation.

Block Laying
We lay the blocks in your chosen pattern, cut them to fit and sweep in kiln-dried sand.
- 04
Final Finish
We compact the surface, tidy the site and hand over a driveway that is ready to use.
Frequently asked
- How much does block paving cost per square metre?
- Block paving generally costs between €60 and €100 per square metre installed, depending on the block you choose and how much ground preparation is needed. We will give you a fixed, no-obligation quote after surveying your site.
- How long does a block paved driveway take to install?
- A typical driveway takes between 3 and 7 days, depending on the size of the job and the weather. We will agree a timeline with you before we start.
- Will block paving last in the Irish weather?
- Yes. Laid properly on a well-compacted base with good drainage, block paving handles rain, frost and heavy vehicles for decades. Individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if they ever get damaged.
- Do I need planning permission for a block paved driveway?
- Most front garden driveways laid on an existing surface do not need planning permission, but larger areas or those that change drainage can. We can advise on what applies to your property before work starts.
- How do I maintain my block paved driveway?
- Very little is needed - an occasional brush and rinse keeps it looking well, and re-sanding the joints every few years keeps the blocks locked together. We are happy to advise on the right maintenance for your drive.
- Can you match an existing block paving pattern?
- Yes, we can match most common patterns and block colours, including herringbone and stretcher bond. If you are extending an existing driveway, tell us and we will source a matching block.
