Block paving for Portmarnock homes

Portmarnock's sandy ground near the Velvet Strand needs a well-built base for block paving to stay level. We dig to the right depth, use a geotextile layer where the sand is loose and compact the stone in layers before laying.

Quality homes here suit tumbled or textured blocks in soft greys, laid with a border that frames the drive. We use kiln-dried jointing sand and set every edge in concrete, which keeps the paving tight against the salt air and the wind off the sea. A permeable block is a good option here, as the sand below takes the water away freely.

Block Paving Cost in Portmarnock

The cost of block paving in Portmarnock 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)

We don't publish fixed prices because they'd be meaningless for your specific job. The only honest price is one written after we've visited your property in Portmarnock and assessed the ground, drainage, and materials.
