Delaney Tarmac has been transforming gardens across Kildare, Dublin, Wicklow, Offaly and Laois for over 45 years. We specialise in premium porcelain, natural stone and granite, with every install hand-laid by a directly employed crew. No subcontractors, no shortcuts.
Whether you are planning a sleek porcelain entertaining area, a warm natural stone garden retreat, granite steps leading to a landscaped lawn, or a full rear-garden overhaul, we handle the full scope of work, from initial design through groundwork, drainage and final landscaping. Paul personally visits every quote site, brings physical sample boards and writes a fixed price within twenty-four hours.
Each patio is built on a properly excavated, compacted sub-base with engineered falls, the same standard we apply to our driveway work. The base is what makes a patio last twenty years rather than five, and it is the part most contractors get wrong.

"Had Paul and crew in to upgrade our garden and we couldn't be happier! Our patio was done in beautiful porcelain stonework and the front driveway is fully done in tarmac. Very clean, very efficient."

Porcelain tiles are the top choice for Irish weather - they are frost-proof, non-porous, and extremely slip-resistant even when wet. Natural stone like sandstone and limestone also perform well but may require sealing. We advise on the best option for your property during our free site visit.
Porcelain patio costs depend on the size of the area, the tiles chosen, and the ground preparation required. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after a site survey so you get an accurate price with no hidden extras.
Most patio installations take 3-7 days depending on the size and complexity. This includes excavation, sub-base preparation, drainage, laying, and grouting. We work efficiently to minimise disruption.
Porcelain patios are extremely low maintenance. An occasional wash with a garden hose or pressure washer is all that is needed. They are resistant to moss, algae, and staining, making them ideal for the Irish climate.
Yes. Proper groundwork is the foundation of every patio we install. We excavate to the correct depth, install a compacted sub-base, and ensure proper falls for drainage - regardless of the starting ground conditions.
Porcelain is non-porous, frost-proof, doesn't stain, and never needs sealing — ideal for low-maintenance contemporary gardens. Natural stone (sandstone, granite, limestone) gives a softer, more traditional finish but absorbs water and needs occasional sealing in Irish conditions. We bring physical samples of both to every site visit so you can compare them in your own light.
Yes, in most cases. We can match common porcelain ranges and most natural stone types provided the original supplier is identifiable. If an exact match is no longer in production, we can suggest a complementary contrast that looks intentional rather than mismatched.
