New Asphalt Driveway with Cobbled Border in Ballybrack, Dublin

Here is a recap of an asphalt driveway project, that Select Paving has recently finished in Ballybrack, Dublin.

First we took out the existing driveway and leveled off the area. Then we laid down an 804 stone base and installed rows of Light Grey Granite Cobbles around the perimeter for a nice colour contrast with the future asphalt driveway.

We fashioned a new doorstep using the same Light Grey Cobbles together with some Natural Grey ones.

Lastly we poured down a thick layer of asphalt and machine rolled it down for a perfectly smooth finish.

New Gravel Driveway Avenue in Sutton, Dublin

Here are a few pictures of a new gravel driveway in Sutton, Dublin, completed by our team at Select Paving.

First we leveled off the area and prepared it for the gravel to come. Then we laid and compacted down our crushed limestone foundation. The existing kerbs were in a great shape so there was no need to replace those.

At the entrance of the property we laid multiple rows of snugly fitted granite cobble setts for a classy and timeless look. We topped the driveway with grey pebble gravel chippings and raked it down to create one even layer.

New Granite Gravel Driveway in Rathfarnham

Take a look at some during and after pictures of this granite cobble and granite gravel driveway in Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin. All materials and labour were supplied by our professionals at Select Paving.

As always we started by clearing out the existing driveway, which was laid with concrete. We also removed part of the lawn and greenery to significantly widen the usable area.

Our team laid a foundation of an 804 sub-base, as well as a hardcore membrane to stop any unwanted weed growth in its tracks. We created a pathway, edging border and a doorstep using varieties of Granite Cobbles and anchored them down with concrete. The multiple rows of cobbles at the entryway, along with a functioning drainage system, catch an eye of anyone walking by.

The rest of the area was then filled with Granite Gravel and compressed down.

Tarmac Driveway with Grey Cobblestone Border in Dublin

Here is quick recap of a tarmac driveway, completed by Select Paving in Dublin.

First, we dug out the existing surface and removed it from the site. Then we laid down a foundation for the future driveway - a Type 1 MOT sub-base. We created a raised block kerbed flower bed in one of the corners as well as a new doorstep to match.

To break the blackness of the tarmac, we used a contrasting Grey Cobblestone border around and tripled it at the entrance to create a nice entryway feature. The border, along with the two new ACO drains on each side, were set in concrete to anchor them down.

Then we completed the project by pouring down a layer of tarmac and power-rolling it down for a perfectly smooth finish.
