A practical approach to asphalt driveways & surfacing
This page is aimed at projects where the scale or use is different from a standard domestic tarmac driveway. The right build-up depends on the condition of the existing ground, vehicle loading, edge support and drainage. We assess those points before deciding whether a new base, local reconstruction or resurfacing is appropriate.
Around Dublin and the commuter counties, larger detached properties and long entrances sometimes need a surfacing approach that is closer to access-road work than a small urban driveway. That is where the asphalt page is most relevant.
What can be included
- Asphalt surfacing for larger residential entrances and access areas
- Assessment of existing bases before resurfacing
- Ground preparation for failed or newly formed areas
- Edge and drainage details suited to the site
- A smooth continuous finish for regular vehicle traffic
