Block Paving in Rathfarnham: What to Know

Sitting at the foot of the Dublin mountains, many Rathfarnham properties slope, so correct falls and drainage are critical to stop water pooling or running toward the house. We see a lot of mature gardens here where access and protecting existing planting need planning.

We work right across Rathfarnham — from Rathfarnham Castle and Marlay Park to the surrounding Ballyboden, Templeogue, Tallaght areas — and we'll travel to your property for a free site survey.

Block paving on sloping Rathfarnham sites

Many Rathfarnham drives run uphill or downhill from the road, especially toward the foothills. Block paving copes with slopes well because each block interlocks, but the edges must be restrained properly or the paving will creep downhill over time.

We set kerbs in concrete along both sides and across the bottom, and add a channel drain where the slope meets the house or the road. On a steeper drive, a textured block gives better grip in frost and wet leaves, which matters on the mature, tree-lined roads around the area.

Block Paving Cost in Rathfarnham

The cost of block paving in Rathfarnham 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)
