Block Paving in Clontarf: What to Know

Clontarf's seafront period homes bring two specifics: handsome red-brick frontages that deserve a sympathetic finish, and reclaimed coastal ground where drainage must be done right. Block paving and natural stone are popular, and we design proper falls and soakaways for the low-lying ground.

We work right across Clontarf — from Clontarf Castle and Bull Island to the surrounding Raheny, Fairview, Drumcondra areas — and we'll travel to your property for a free site survey.

Block paving for Clontarf period homes

Clontarf's red-brick Victorian and Edwardian houses need paving that respects the frontage. We usually suggest a tumbled or aged block in charcoal or brindle tones, laid in a traditional pattern, with the original railings, pillars and boundary walls left untouched.

The area near the seafront sits on low, partly reclaimed ground, so drainage is the first thing we design. Permeable blocks or a soakaway sized for the ground help keep water away from older foundations and off the path, which Dublin City Council expects from new front driveways. Original iron railings and gates can stay in place while we work.

Block Paving Cost in Clontarf

The cost of block paving in Clontarf depends on several factors specific to your property and project:

• Project size in square metres
• Existing surface removal (old tarmac, concrete or paving)
• Sub-base depth required (dependent on ground conditions)
• Drainage requirements (soakaway, channel drain, connection to existing system)
• Block brand and range chosen (Kilsaran vs Tobermore, smooth vs tumbled)
