Pavestead - Driveway and Patio Specialists

Pavestead serves as a focused paving and landscaping contractor in County Wexford, Ireland, delivering practical, high-quality installations for homes and businesses. With over a decade in operation, the company specializes in driveway laying, patio construction, and full landscape enhancements, tailored to Wexford's wet climate and diverse terrains.

Driveways are a key service, featuring options like gravel, tarmac, block paving, or resin-bound surfaces. Permeable designs are common, using interlocking blocks or porous materials to manage rainwater effectively. The installation starts with site evaluation and excavation, followed by sub-base compaction using 804 stone for a solid foundation, then edging with concrete kerbs for longevity. This creates smooth, vehicle-ready surfaces with low upkeep. In tight-knit areas like Enniscorthy or Wexford town, teams complete a typical 50-square-meter driveway in three to five days, minimizing disruption.

For patios, Pavestead offers durable flooring in natural stone like granite or limestone, which holds up against Wexford's frosty winters, or concrete pavers for consistent results. Ground preparation includes weed membranes, sharp sand bedding, and pointing with mortar or polymeric sand to deter weeds and movement. These spaces handle heavy use, with features like drainage channels for sloped sites or stepped designs for multi-level layouts, as seen in recent projects.

Landscape work extends to turf installation on prepped beds, native plantings for soil stability, and elements like raised beds or timber decking. Retaining walls, built with gabion baskets or concrete blocks, address hilly slopes to curb erosion. Materials come from verified local suppliers, prioritizing recycled aggregates for sustainability.

Pavestead ensures quality through on-site oversight, laser leveling for even surfaces, and load-testing for strength. A standard two-year warranty covers materials and labor. Modern tools like mini-diggers and plate compactors enable precise, efficient work without excessive site mess.

In Wexford's mix of coastal homes and rural properties, Pavestead adapts to needs, such as salt-tolerant materials for seaside spots or reinforced bases for farm access. With more than 400 projects under their belt, they provide site visits and clear quotes, focusing on weather-resistant solutions that boost usability and property value.
