Paving Contractors Kildare

Finding proper paving contractors in Kildare isn’t always easy. Some talk a big game, others show up late or leave jobs half-finished. At Affordable Driveways and Patios, we don’t play that game. We’ve been laying driveways, patios, and footpaths around Kildare for over 30 years. No nonsense, no gimmicks, just solid work that lasts.

Whether you’re in Naas, Newbridge, Celbridge or anywhere in between, we’ve probably done a job on your street already. We don’t subcontract. We don’t leave a mess behind. We don’t ask for payment until you’re fully satisfied.

Our team delivers work that looks good on day one and still looks good ten years later.

Driveways, patios and everything in between

Paving isn’t just laying bricks. It’s about ground prep, drainage, design, and proper finishes. Do it cheap and fast, and it won’t last a year. Do it properly, and you won’t have to think about it for decades.

We offer full-service paving across County Kildare:

Cobblelock driveways
Tarmac and asphalt driveways
Resin-bound surfaces
Natural stone patios
Garden paths and walkways
Gravel driveways
Concrete yards
Commercial paving projects

Each job is planned properly from the start. We measure, excavate, level, and lay a solid foundation. That’s the part most cowboys skip. It’s also the reason why our work holds up.

Built for Irish weather

Kildare soil is tricky. Some areas are soft and wet, others are compact and clay-heavy. We know the difference. Our crew has worked in every part of the county. We know how to build driveways and patios that don’t crack, shift or sink after the first winter.

We install:

Permeable paving for better drainage
Channel drains and soakaways
Kerbing and edge restraint systems
Weed-resistant jointing sand
Optional sealing for low maintenance

Nothing we do is rushed. We take the time to make it right.

Popular paving choices in Kildare

Cobblelock

Still the most requested style for residential driveways in Kildare. Available in greys, reds, browns, and mixed blends. We offer a range of patterns and border finishes. Looks sharp and holds its shape well.

Tarmac

Strong, fast to install, and ideal for big spaces. We lay smooth black or red tarmac with precision edges and concrete or granite kerbs. Great value and long-lasting.

Gravel

Simple and cost-effective. Comes in several colours and sizes. We install weed membrane underneath and strong edge restraints to stop it spreading.

Resin-bound

A high-end option. Smooth, stylish, and completely custom. Ideal for front drives and patios. Low maintenance and slip resistant.

Natural stone

We lay limestone, sandstone, granite, and quartz. Perfect for patios, paths, and decorative courtyards. Each job is hand-laid and grouted.

Concrete finishes

Ideal for sheds, garages, and utility spaces. We can do smooth concrete or textured stamped designs for something more decorative.

Sample pricing guide

Prices vary depending on ground condition, access, materials, and extras. But here’s a rough idea:

Cobblelock driveways: €70 to €100 per square metre
Tarmac: €55 to €85 per square metre
Gravel driveways: €45 to €65 per square metre
Resin-bound: €90 to €120 per square metre
Natural stone patios: €100 to €140 per square metre

We always include labour, base prep, waste disposal, and materials in our quotes. No surprises halfway through.

Commercial paving

We also take on commercial jobs across Kildare. Whether it’s car parks, forecourts, footpaths, school yards, or housing developments, we’ve got the team and equipment to handle it.

We understand deadlines. We work cleanly, quickly, and safely. Site left clean, finish left flawless.

A few words from our customers

★★★★★
Had our driveway redone in Newbridge. Affordable Driveways and Patios were the only crowd that didn’t try to sell us something we didn’t need. They did a proper job, no messing.
Patrick Reilly

★★★★★
Great bunch of lads. Showed up on time, got stuck in, and didn’t stop until it was finished. Love the new patio.
Grainne Doyle, Celbridge

★★★★★
Replaced our old concrete mess with a granite cobblelock drive in Naas. It looks deadly. Clean lines and no water pooling anymore.
Sean and Trish O’Meara

FAQs

Do I need planning permission?

Not usually. As long as drainage is handled properly, most driveways in Kildare don’t need permission.

Can you work in winter?

Yes. We work year-round. Wet weather may cause minor delays, but we work around it.

Do you seal cobblelock?

We can. Sealing protects colour and prevents weeds. Ask us if you want this included in your quote.

How long does it take?

Most jobs take 2 to 4 days depending on size. Large jobs or complex patterns might take a bit longer.

Do you clean up after?

Yes. Every bit of waste is removed. We leave your property clean and ready to use.
