Tarmac Contractors Dublin
Smooth, Durable Tarmacadam Driveways
Tarmacadam provides a smart, practical and hard-wearing finish for driveways, private entrances and pathways. Dalkey Landscaping installs professionally prepared tarmacadam surfaces throughout Dublin, finished with strong edging and drainage where required.
Why Choose Tarmacadam?
Tarmacadam is one of the most popular driveway surfaces in Dublin for good reason. It gives a clean, even finish that handles heavy use, drains well when laid with the right falls, and looks smart for years with minimal upkeep.
It suits everything from small residential driveways to large commercial entrances. Combined with granite cobble edging, a tarmac driveway can look as good as any premium surface — at a fraction of the cost.
Tarmacadam Options
Two-coat tarmac finish over a compacted 804 hardcore base. The most popular choice for Dublin driveways.
Tarmacadam finished with granite cobble borders for a premium, structured appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
A properly prepared tarmacadam driveway will last 15 to 20 years or more. The key is in the sub-base preparation and correct drainage.
In many cases yes, provided the existing base is solid. We will assess the condition and advise whether resurfacing or a full rebuild is the better option.
In Ireland, tarmacadam and asphalt refer to similar products. We use high-quality machine-laid tarmacadam suitable for residential and commercial use.
Yes. Most of our tarmac driveways include granite cobble edging, which gives a clean border and prevents the tarmac edges from breaking down.
We recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before driving on a new tarmac surface to allow it to fully set.
