Block Paving Contractors

Block paving suits most Dublin homes. It comes in a wide range of colours and sizes, it is non-slip in the wet, and because each block is laid separately a damaged or stained block can be lifted out and replaced without disturbing the rest.

Patterns include herringbone, which locks the blocks together and suits drives where cars turn, basket-weave and stretcher bond, and paving circles for a feature in front of the house. A contrasting border frames the drive and holds the edges.

We install paving from Kilsaran and Tobermore, and lay new block driveways as well as extending and repairing existing ones.

Blocks That Lift Out

If a block is ever stained or damaged it can be lifted and replaced on its own, so a repair never means a new drive.

Grip in the Wet

Block paving stays non-slip in the rain, so the drive is safe underfoot all year.

Patterns to Suit

Herringbone, basket-weave, stretcher bond or circles, with a border to frame the drive.

Extend or Repair

Existing block drives can be extended, re-levelled or repaired as well as replaced.

FAQs

Block Paving Questions

What Is the Difference Between Block Paving & Cobblelock?

In practice, nothing. Cobblelock is the name many people in Ireland use for block paving. Both mean concrete paving blocks laid on a sand bed over a compacted base.

Which Block Paving Pattern Is the Strongest?

Herringbone. The blocks interlock at an angle, which spreads the load and resists cars turning on the drive. Basket-weave and stretcher bond suit paths and areas with lighter traffic, or can be used as borders.

Can Block Paving Be Repaired?

Yes. Because each block is laid separately, a sunken, cracked or stained area can be lifted, the bed relevelled and the same blocks or matching new ones put back.

Which Brands of Paving Do You Use?

We install block paving from Kilsaran and Tobermore. Samples from their ranges come to the site visit so you can see the colours against your house.

Is Block Paving Better Than Tarmac or Concrete?

It costs more than tarmac but gives far more choice of colour and pattern, it is non-slip, and repairs are simpler because single blocks can be replaced rather than patching a whole surface.

Will Weeds Grow Between the Blocks?

Well compacted jointing sand keeps most weeds out. Over the years some sand washes out of the joints, and topping it up keeps the blocks tight and the joints clean.
