Driveways 4 You replaced the old concrete driveway and gravel area at Kilakee Rise, Firhouse, with a new SMA tarmac driveway. The work included a wider entrance, a new wall and matching silver granite edging, planting area risers and front step.
Removing the Old Driveway and Widening the Entrance
The front of the property had a concrete driveway alongside a gravel area, with a pillar and wall defining the original entrance. We removed the concrete, gravel and old pillar wall to make room for the new driveway layout.
Preparing the Sub-Base and Setting the Granite Edging
Once the old surfaces were removed, we carefully prepared the sub-base to provide a stable foundation for the new tarmac. We also built a new wall to define the widened entrance.
A natural silver granite frame was installed around the driveway. Matching granite risers defined the planting area, and a new silver granite step was fitted at the front door before the final surface was laid.
The Finished SMA Tarmac Driveway
With the base and granite details in place, we laid the SMA tarmac surface. The dark finish contrasts with the silver granite border and step, tying the front door and driveway together. The wider entrance gives the homeowners more room to manoeuvre when pulling in and out.
