BLOCK PAVING OFFALY.
Offaly's Block Paving Specialists
Block paving is one of the most decorative driveway surfaces we install in Offaly. Premium Kilsaran and Tobermore ranges hold up beautifully across Tullamore, Birr, Banagher and the Offaly 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 Offaly on a minimum 150mm compacted hardcore sub-base (deeper on bog-edge plots), 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 Birr and central Tullamore, 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. Sample boards brought to every on-site survey.
Bog-edge plots in north Offaly toward Edenderry need particular attention to sub-base depth before block paving goes on. We always lay 250-300mm hardcore with geotextile separation in those positions to prevent long-term settlement of the blocks.
Rated 5 stars by homeowners across Dublin and Leinster.
Every job backed by our 5-year workmanship guarantee.
