Paving for Mountnugent Homes and Gardens

We know Mountnugent’s soil and slopes. That means your paving won’t shift or pool water after a heavy rain. We work with concrete block paving, natural flagstone, granite setts and permeable pavers, whatever suits your style and budget. Every job starts with a proper sub-base, using sharp sand and hardcore compacted in layers. We also handle kerbing, drainage channels and any earthworks needed. If you have overhanging branches that could drop leaves or sap on your new path, we can sort that too, just ask about tree removal in Mountnugent as part of your project. We time our work around the seasons: spring and autumn are busiest, but we schedule year-round so you’re never left waiting.
Our Paving Process from Start to Finish
Every paving job follows a clear sequence. First we measure and mark out the area, then dig down to the right depth, usually 150, 200mm for light use, deeper for driveways. We bring in a mini-digger and wacker plate from our own fleet. After the sub-base is compacted, we lay a 50mm sharp-sand bed, screed it level, and place each paver by hand. Cut edges get a neat finish with a disc cutter. Finally we brush in kiln-dried sand and compact again. For concrete block paving, we apply a sealant to lock the colour and stop weeds. We’ve also done paving in Canningstown, so you know we cover the whole area. We leave the site clean, with no mess left behind.

What’s the best material for a driveway that sees heavy use?

Do you work in winter or only in good weather?
We work year-round, but we avoid laying paving in frost or heavy rain. If the forecast is bad, we’ll reschedule to make sure the job is done right.
