BLOCK PAVING LAOIS.
Laois's Block Paving Specialists
Block paving is one of the most decorative driveway surfaces we install in Laois. Premium Kilsaran and Tobermore ranges hold up beautifully across Portlaoise, Mountmellick, Abbeyleix and the Laois family estate corridor when laid on a proper sub-base with hand-cut edges and properly jointed.
We hand-lay every block paving driveway in Laois on a minimum 150mm compacted hardcore sub-base, screeded coarse bedding sand, hand-cut edges, kiln-dried jointing sand brushed in and re-sanded after settling. Cheap installs skip these steps and the driveway fails within 5 years.
The colour and pattern range is extensive, traditional rumbled cobble for period properties around Abbeyleix and Durrow, contemporary linear plank for newer estate homes, granite-effect blends for executive plots, and contrast borders or feature bands tying drive design to existing landscape detail.
Mountain-edge plots in north and west Laois may need bedrock-aware excavation before block paving goes on. Bog-edge plots near Mountmellick benefit from deeper sub-base spec. We assess each plot during the on-site survey.
Rated 5 stars by homeowners across Dublin and Leinster.
Every job backed by our 5-year workmanship guarantee.
