Tarmac driveways in Portmarnock

Tarmac is a durable, practical option for Portmarnock drives, especially longer ones where block paving would be a bigger outlay. A black or red tarmac finish with granite kerbs looks smart on the area's detached and semi-detached homes.

On sandy coastal ground, the base must be properly compacted or the tarmac will settle. We lay two courses for strength, support every edge with kerbs set in concrete and set falls toward a soakaway on your land. Sandy soil takes water well, so drainage is usually simple to install. A cobble or granite apron at the gate is a tidy way to finish the entrance.
