Get a clean, durable tarmac driveway installed in 1–2 days. Solid sub-base, proper drainage, and a 5-year structural guarantee. Covering all Dublin areas.
Tarmacadam remains one of Dublin's most popular driveway materials because it provides a smooth, durable, and cost-effective surface that withstands heavy rainfall and frost. However, a tarmac driveway is only as good as the groundwork beneath it.
At Power Paving and Landscaping, we excavate every driveway to a minimum 200mm depth, lay a heavy compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, install proper drainage (Aco drains/soakaways), and lay 2-coat hot tarmacadam — ensuring your driveway will not crack, sink, or hold water for 15–20+ years.
From brand new installations to resurfacing and repairs — we handle everything.
Full excavation, sub-base preparation, edging, and premium tarmac laying. Built to last 20+ years with proper drainage included.
If your existing base is sound, we can resurface over it — a cost-effective way to refresh a worn driveway without full excavation.
Cracks, potholes, sunken areas — we diagnose and repair tarmac problems before they worsen. Quick turnaround, lasting results.
We install concrete kerbing, channel drains, and slot drainage systems to manage Irish rainfall and keep your driveway watertight.
A textured, decorative alternative to smooth tarmac. Tar and chip gives a natural look, excellent grip, and is very popular. For the most competitive tar and chip driveway cost Ireland has to offer, this is a budget-friendly choice.
Powerwash, weed removal, and sealcoat to restore and protect existing tarmac driveways. Adds years to your driveway's life at a fraction of replacement cost.
Our 5-step process ensures your driveway is built on a solid foundation that won't sink, crack, or flood.
