Patios Donaghmede

What we do

We lay outdoor spaces for a living. That is the short version. The longer version is that we have spent years working across north Dublin, reading gardens, dealing with ground conditions, and building surfaces that last well beyond the first winter.

The ground matters more than the surface

Most of Donaghmede sits on Dublin boulder clay. It moves. It holds water. Get the sub-base wrong and even the best paving will rock and dip within a season. We excavate properly, we compact properly, and we get the falls right before a single slab goes down.

Surfacing choices we work with

Right, this is where most customers want the detail up front.

• Indian sandstone paving
• Porcelain tiling and porcelain paving
• Granite slabbing
• Limestone patio installations
• Resin-bound surfaces
• Artificial grass
• Lawn turfing for new and renovated gardens

So whatever finish you are drawn to, we have laid it and we know where each material performs well and where it does not.

The full scope of what we cover

It is rarely just the patio. Most jobs we take on run from the back door out to the boundary. We handle brick walling, boundary fencing, and pathway construction as part of the same project. Where a driveway threshold needs managing, we fit ACO channel drains to keep surface water moving away cleanly. A properly bedded ACO drain, haunched in concrete and set to a consistent invert level, keeps water off the slab and out of the garage.

Renovations as well as new builds

Older gardens around Donaghmede often have tired tarmac or sunken flags. We lift it. We relay it. We do not patch over problems.
