Commercial work

Slopes
and rain.

Wicklow sites are often on a slope and see more rain than the flatter counties. Water running down a car park or lane will find any weak joint, so the drainage and kerbs are worked out before the surface is priced.

Drainage first

Channels across slopes

Kerbed edges

Estate roads

Church car parks

Rural yards

Services

wet, sloping sites.

Drainage and kerbing

Channels, gullies and kerbs that move hillside water off.

Church and club car parks

Parish and club grounds, scheduled around services and fixtures.

Estate roads

Shared roads and paths on managed estates.

Rural yards and lanes

Yards, lanes and gateways for tractors and trailers.

Slopes

Surfacing on a slope

On a slope the surface itself carries water, and it carries it fast. The layout is planned so water is caught before it gathers.

Channel drains across the slope at entrances and low points.
Kerbs to hold the edge and guide water to gullies.
Binder and wearing courses laid by machine and rolled across the fall.

Common Questions

Common questions.

Which parts of the county do you cover?+

The whole county, from the base in Newbridge.

Can a steep entrance be surfaced in tarmac?+

Yes. On steep ground the drainage at the top and bottom matters most, and the surface is rolled so it compacts evenly on the slope.

Do you also do driveways?+

Yes. Driveway repair and new driveways are part of the residential service.
