Catherine Galvin

Pat and his team were absolutely brilliant. Their communication was excellent throughout, they were super professional, and did a fantastic job. Pat gave me great ideas on the design and was extremely helpful. They arrived early and got the job done finished in 2 days. Brilliant service, I would recommend them to everyone. Overall a great experience with Northside Driveways!

Imelda Mcelwaine

Just had Pat, Ger and his men finish our driveway. I'm so pleased with the workmanship and the finish. The men arrived before their time and didn't stop all day except for about 20 mins for lunch. Extremely hard workers. So happy with the work and the speed of it and would definitely recommend them. Also a good price.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driveways in Dublin

Find answers about driveway prices, installation, repairs, guarantees and getting your free quote.

Pricing

Our current guide prices start at €45/m² for tarmac, €75/m² for block paving and €95/m² for resin bound. Your final price follows a site survey. Ask for a written breakdown covering preparation, drainage, VAT and any applicable offer.

Yes. We install porcelain and natural stone patios with options for steps, granite borders and planters. Our published guide starts at €110/m², with typical projects listed at €4,500-€12,000. The final quote depends on the agreed design and site preparation.

Installation

Tarmac offers a smooth black finish, block paving offers decorative patterns and borders, and resin bound offers a seamless aggregate finish. Your budget, preferred appearance and existing base help determine the choice. We can discuss the options during your free site visit.

We work across North Dublin, Dublin city centre and into Meath, including Ashbourne. Areas listed on our website include Swords, Malahide, Howth, Portmarnock, Skerries and Balbriggan. Share your Eircode so we can confirm coverage for your property.

Our published installation guides are around 2 days for tarmac, 3-5 days for block paving and 2-3 days for resin bound. Weather and ground conditions can change the schedule. Ask the crew when you can walk or park on the finished surface.

A tarmac overlay may be suitable when the existing base is sound. If the base has failed, excavation and rebuilding may be needed. We assess the surface before recommending resurfacing or replacement. Ask for excavation and removal to be itemised in your quote.

Repairs

Yes. Northside Driveways offers pothole and crack repairs, re-laying of sunken block paving, edge repairs and driveway restoration. Repairs are advertised from €450. A site visit helps establish the required work and whether a repair is suitable for your driveway.

Yes. Our paving and patio services include drainage channels and surface falls, and we offer permeable surfacing options. Tell us where water collects so the site assessment can consider levels, existing drainage and the proposed surface.

Yes. We offer driveway widening, extra parking bays and garden-to-parking conversions. Extensions are advertised from €1,800. Share your location and the space you want to add so we can assess access, the layout and any council requirements before quoting.

Guarantees

Yes. We carry public liability insurance. Driveway installations have a 10-year written guarantee covering workmanship and structural integrity, excluding third-party damage, misuse and ground movement outside our control. Ask for current insurance details and the guarantee terms covering your project.
