Asphalt Driveways Dublin
Asphalt driveways are a popular choice across Dublin and surrounding areas for homeowners and commercial clients seeking a strong, smooth, and long-lasting surface. Known for their clean finish and excellent performance under traffic, asphalt driveways offer a practical balance of durability, affordability, and environmental responsibility—especially when installed by experienced professionals.
An asphalt driveway is created using a blend of aggregates (stone, grit, or sand) mixed with bitumen. Once laid and compacted, the material forms a dense, smooth surface that is highly resistant to wear and weather. Asphalt is commonly used for roads, car parks, and driveways thanks to its ability to handle regular vehicle use while maintaining a refined appearance.
Although often confused with tarmac, asphalt is a different surfacing material with its own advantages—particularly in residential driveway applications.
Asphalt Driveway Installation
Site preparation: Our Asphalt Driveways Dublin team removes existing surfacing, level ground, and set up drainage falls.
Sub-base construction: Our Asphalt Driveways Dublin team installs and compacts a well-draining stone or crushed aggregate sub-base — the most critical step for longevity.
Binder/base course (if required): Our Asphalt Driveways contains a thicker layer of asphalt or aggregate-binder mix for higher load areas.
Surface course (wearing layer): hot asphalt layer laid and machine-compacted to produce a smooth finish.
Edge finishing & compaction: Our Our Asphalt Driveways Dublin team ensures neat edges, correct falls for drainage, and final compaction for a dense surface.
Curing: Our Asphalt Driveways Dublin team allows the asphalt to cool and cure; light use after 24–48 hours, heavier use after a few days depending on weather and thickness.
