Block Paving in Dún Laoghaire: What to Know

Dún Laoghaire's Victorian and period homes, many in conservation areas, call for sympathetic materials like granite and natural stone. The coastal setting means salt exposure and heavy rain, so we specify durable surfaces and robust drainage.

We work right across Dún Laoghaire — from Dún Laoghaire Pier and Lexicon Library to the surrounding Monkstown, Glasthule, Blackrock areas — and we'll travel to your property for a free site survey.

Block paving for Dún Laoghaire homes

Dún Laoghaire's Victorian terraces and semis often have short front gardens behind railings and granite piers. Where a drive is permitted, a tumbled or sett-style block in muted tones looks far more at home than a bright modern paver.

Many streets in and around Dún Laoghaire are in architectural conservation areas, where changes to the front garden, the railings or the entrance may need permission from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. We flag this at the survey. On the coast, we also use good jointing so salt and wind do not loosen the blocks.

Block Paving Cost in Dún Laoghaire

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

• Project size in square metres

• 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)
