Not sure about the terminology? Tarmac and asphalt are often used interchangeably in everyday searches. What matters on site is choosing the correct material specification, base and finish for the property and expected traffic. You can also read our tarmac vs asphalt guide .

Experienced Advice Before Work Begins
Tony and the Tarmac Driveways team work on both domestic and commercial tarmac, asphalt and resin bound projects. The recommendation starts with the site itself, not with trying to sell the same surface to every customer.

Tarmac & Asphalt Service Questions
A few quick answers about choosing a surface, repairing an existing driveway and arranging a quotation.
Do you install both tarmac and asphalt driveways?
Yes. We install tarmac and asphalt surfaces for residential driveways, entrances, paths, commercial areas and larger access surfaces. The recommended specification depends on the site and expected traffic.
Which driveway surface is best for my property?
That depends on the existing ground, drainage, access, expected use, preferred appearance and budget. We can assess the area and explain whether tarmac, asphalt, resin bound surfacing or another solution is the most suitable.
Can an existing driveway be resurfaced?
Often, yes. Resurfacing can be appropriate when the existing base remains stable and the main deterioration is at surface level. We inspect the base, drainage, cracks and levels before recommending resurfacing.
Do you repair potholes and damaged tarmac?
Yes. Depending on the extent and cause of the damage, we may recommend a localised repair, patching, resurfacing or complete replacement. Addressing damage early can help prevent it from spreading.
Do you undertake commercial and larger surfacing projects?
Yes. We work on commercial entrances, car parks, yards, private roads, access lanes and other surfaces used by regular vehicle traffic, as well as residential driveways.

We work throughout Dublin, Kildare and surrounding areas. Send us your location and a few details about the project and we will confirm whether we can cover it.

You can also browse our recent projects to see examples of completed tarmac driveways, asphalt surfaces, borders and before-and-after transformations across Dublin and nearby areas.
Tarmac and asphalt driveways do not have to look plain or generic. By combining different aggregate sizes, finishes, edging materials and border designs, we can create a surface that suits both the style of your property and the practical needs of the space.
While many people think of tarmac as a simple dark grey surface, there are several ways to improve the final look. Borders, kerbing, granite setts, block paving details and carefully finished edges can all help give your driveway a more polished appearance.
The entrance or apron of the driveway is also an important part of the project. This is the area where the driveway meets the road, footpath or garage entrance. It needs to be carefully planned to allow safe access, correct levels and proper water drainage.
A well-designed apron can also improve the look of the driveway by combining tarmac or asphalt with other materials such as granite setts, block paving, kerbing or limestone details. These finishing touches can help define the edges, protect the surface and create a cleaner entrance to your property.
Our team can advise on the best layout, slope, edging and finish for your driveway. You can also browse our recent tarmac projects to see examples of completed driveways, borders and entrance designs across Dublin and surrounding areas.
Resin Bound Driveways in Dublin
As well as tarmac and asphalt surfaces, Tarmac Driveways also installs resin bound driveways for homeowners looking for a more decorative finish. Resin can be a good option for driveways, entrances and paths where appearance, texture and low maintenance are important.
A resin-bound surface offers a smooth, modern look and can be finished in a range of natural aggregate colours. It works particularly well when combined with neat edging, granite setts, kerbing or other border details to create a clean and attractive entrance to your property.
Our team can advise whether tarmac, asphalt or resin bound surfacing is the best option for your driveway, depending on the existing ground, drainage, expected traffic, budget and the finish you want to achieve.

Tarmac Driveway Repairs
Cracks, potholes, sunken areas and drainage problems can often be repaired before they develop into more extensive damage. Depending on the condition of the driveway, our team can recommend patch repairs, localised repairs, resurfacing or full replacement.
We can inspect the existing surface and advise on the most practical solution for your property.
Tarmac and Asphalt Services We Provide
Tarmac Driveways provides a range of tarmac, asphalt and resin driveway services across Dublin, Kildare and surrounding areas. As well as new driveway installations and resurfacing, our team can also help with kerbing, drainage, edging, paths, patios, commercial surfaces and other outdoor surfacing work.
Every project is different, so we assess the existing ground, access, drainage, expected traffic and preferred finish before recommending the most suitable solution.
Concrete Kerbing and Edging
Kerbing and edging help define the shape of a driveway, protect the surface and create a cleaner finish where tarmac or asphalt meets a path, lawn, wall or road entrance. Well-installed kerbs can also support drainage by guiding surface water away from the driveway.
Depending on the style of your property, we can combine tarmac with concrete kerbs, granite setts, block paving borders or other edging details to give the driveway a more finished look.
Driveway Drainage Systems
Drainage is one of the most important parts of any driveway project. Poor drainage can lead to standing water, cracks, surface damage, moss, algae and long-term wear.
Our team can advise on the right drainage solution for your site, including surface drainage, channel drains and correct driveway levels. The goal is simple: move water away from the surface and help your driveway last longer.
Tarmac Paths and Patio Areas
Tarmac can also be used for paths, patio areas and outdoor surfaces where a durable, low-maintenance finish is required. It can be a practical option for side entrances, garden paths, utility areas and larger outdoor spaces.
For homeowners looking for a more decorative finish, we can also advise on alternatives such as resin bound driveways, granite borders or mixed-material designs.
Commercial Tarmac and Asphalt Surfaces
As well as residential driveways, we work on commercial tarmac and asphalt surfaces, including yards, forecourts, access roads and areas with regular vehicle traffic.
These projects require careful preparation, suitable base layers and the right surfacing material for the level of use expected. Our team can recommend the best option depending on the size, access and purpose of the area.
Farm Lanes and Heavy-Use Areas
Tarmac and asphalt can be suitable for farm lanes, yards and heavy-use access areas where durability is a priority. These surfaces need to be built with the right base and finish to handle regular movement from vehicles, trailers or machinery.
Specialist Surfacing Projects
Some projects require a more specific surfacing approach, such as sports areas or porous macadam surfaces. If you have a specialist requirement, our team can advise whether tarmac, asphalt, resin or another surface type is the most suitable option.
