Gravel Driveway Contractors Dublin
Beautiful Gravel Driveways with a Traditional Finish
A professionally installed gravel driveway gives a property a timeless appearance while providing excellent durability and drainage. We install decorative gravel driveways with a properly compacted base, secure edging and a clean, even finish.
Why Choose a Gravel Driveway?
Gravel is one of the most versatile and attractive driveway options available. It drains naturally, suits period and modern properties alike, and can be combined with granite cobble edging or tarmacadam aprons for a polished look.
The key to a good gravel driveway is what goes underneath. We excavate properly, install a compacted 804 hardcore sub-base, and use membrane where needed to prevent weed growth and stone migration.
Gravel Options
A warm, natural golden gravel popular throughout Dublin. Excellent for traditional and country-style driveways.
A range of colours and textures including white limestone, grey granite chips and mixed decorative blends.
Gravel driveways finished with granite cobble borders for a clean, defined edge that holds the gravel in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ballylusk gravel is the most popular choice. It compacts well, drains naturally and suits most Dublin properties. We also offer decorative options in different colours.
With proper edging and the correct depth of gravel over a compacted base, movement is minimal. Granite cobble edging is particularly effective at containing gravel.
Yes. Many customers choose a tarmac apron at the entrance with gravel for the main driveway area. This gives a clean transition and prevents gravel spreading onto the road.
We typically lay gravel 50 to 75mm deep over a compacted sub-base. The exact depth depends on the type of gravel and the expected use.
Gravel drains naturally in most cases. Where additional drainage is needed, we install channel drains or French drains to direct water away from the property.
