A professionally installed tarmacadam (asphalt) driveway by our Tarmac Contractors Dublin is one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to enhance your property. Not only does it significantly improve kerb appeal, but it also adds long-term value to your home—making it a popular choice for homeowners across Dublin and surrounding areas.
With increasing pressure on on-street parking, many Dublin homeowners are now choosing to convert part of their front garden into a durable, low-maintenance tarmacadam driveway. Our experienced team provides expert advice, helping you maximise space while ensuring full compliance with drainage and access requirements. Tarmacadam is one of the most widely used surfacing materials for roads, driveways, car parks, and commercial areas, and for good reason. Its unique blend of graded aggregates bound with bitumen creates a surface that is strong, flexible, and visually clean, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications.
Because tarmacadam can adapt to ground movement and temperature changes, it offers long-lasting performance in high-traffic areas while maintaining a smart, uniform appearance.

We started with a traditional, builder grade bathroom and re-imagined the space to become a beautiful steam shower retreat. The original layout had a the acrylic tub at the bathroom entrance on the left with the vanity and toilet toward the window. We replace the casement window with a glass block and removed a closet and expanded the area for the new shower. The shower base is recessed to achieve a barrier free entrance. This spa has a steam unit as well as dual rain heads controlled independently. There is a floating tiled bench with four body jets on separate controls.
The custom wall mounted vanity is perfectly integrated with a Vanico over counter sink. Two wall mounted fixtures provide a sleek look with the practical functionality of a dual sink configuration. A matching tall linen maximises storage. There is also a heated wall mounted towel warmer on a digital timer thermostat.
We added a pocket door to the adjacent bedroom to provide convenient private access for guests.

This contemporary custom kitchen boasts a pristine white aesthetic that exudes elegance and modernity. The focal point of the space is an extra-large island, offering both ample workspace and a casual dining area for gatherings. The island's sleek white countertop complements the overall design, providing a clean and sophisticated look.
Custom stainless steel appliances grace the walls, imparting a professional-grade ambiance to the kitchen. These top-of-the-line appliances not only elevate functionality but also contribute to the kitchen's minimalist, high-end appeal.
A convenient pot filler faucet is seamlessly integrated into the backsplash, adding both style and practicality to the cooking area. This feature simplifies the cooking process, making it effortless to fill pots and pans without the need to carry them to the sink.
For added convenience, this kitchen is equipped with a double dishwasher, ensuring that post-meal cleanup is a breeze, even after entertaining a crowd. The combination of form and function in this contemporary custom kitchen creates a space where culinary creativity and design excellence come together harmoniously.

In this project, our clients purchased an existing restaurant fraught with stormwater management issues on the property. Runoff from an adjacent state highway and parking lot regularly flooded the kitchen. Additionally, a man-made pond on the property had become a problematic breeding ground for mosquitos that virtually prohibited outdoor dining during the summer. Both challenges restricted the restaurant from operating at its fullest potential. Our design/build team’s goals were to address the water runoff and mosquito issues using environmentally and financially sustainable practices. Lowering the grades around the building and parking, we were able to direct the runoff into a dry streambed enriched with water-worn cobbles and river stones and planted banks. We addressed the mosquito problem by increasing the pond’s depth, adding an aeration system, and planting the banks with wildflowers. By raising the outdoor dining, guests now overlook the pond and pleasing landscape. Natural breezes at this higher level help alleviate mosquitosl.

This project had both visual and practical components. The family was not only interested in updating the look of their kitchen, but also in creating a more efficient cabinet solution.
Over the course of a month we installed several cabinets from the Showplace Wood product line, replacing the family’s existing oak, builder grade cabinets. The clients opted for the Covington W door style with a full overlay composed of cherry wood in autumn stain. This combination gave the kitchen a warm and welcoming feel, while still maintaining the modern aesthetic the family craved.
Next, we replaced the family’s outdated Corian counters with beautiful Cambria countertops. They chose contrasting colors, placing Brownhill on the room’s perimeter spaces and Cambrian Black on the kitchen island. All of the countertops were finished with a three centimeter FS edge.
In the end we walked away from the home very proud of the transformation that we had completed. We were even more proud to learn that the happy homeowners shared our pride and excitement over their beautiful new space!

Step into this Elegant Torrance Kitchen Remodel, where timeless design meets modern functionality. The centerpiece of this kitchen is a stunning dual-tone island, featuring rich wood contrasted against the sleek white cabinetry. It's not just for show; the expansive countertop space makes it perfect for meal prep and casual dining. We went with a classic subway tile backsplash in a herringbone pattern, adding just the right amount of texture to the clean, neutral palette. Stainless steel appliances and a custom range hood bring a professional-grade touch, while glass-front upper cabinets provide a stylish display for glassware and dishware.
Lighting was a game-changer here. We installed a trio of pendant lights over the island, casting beautiful patterns that enhance the overall ambiance. The open layout ensures an easy flow between cooking, dining, and entertaining. For this Torrance home, the goal was simple: combine elegance with everyday practicality, and we think it hit the mark beautifully.

This remodeled kitchen showcases a modern and elegant design highlighted by custom shaker-style cabinets with soft-close doors and drawers, providing both functionality and a timeless look. The upper and lower cabinetry is complemented by sleek gold hardware, giving the space a touch of warmth and sophistication.
The countertops are finished in a light quartz surface, extending into a full waterfall edge at the peninsula bar seating area, creating a seamless and luxurious flow. Behind the counters, a vertical subway-style tile backsplash in a muted green hue adds rich texture and contrast, enhancing the contemporary feel of the space.
A deep white farmhouse sink serves as a striking focal point beneath the kitchen window, paired with a modern pull-down faucet. Above the sink, a dedicated light fixture provides task lighting, while recessed LED lights and a ceiling fan ensure the kitchen is well-lit and comfortable. Special decorative sconces and open wood shelves on one wall add both charm and practicality for display and storage.
The flooring has been updated with new tile, providing durability and a clean finish throughout the space. The soffit at the entrance of the kitchen was removed, creating a more open and inviting layout that visually expands the room. Custom doors have been installed to conceal the water heater closet, blending seamlessly with the cabinetry design.
High-end stainless steel appliances complete the remodel, including a professional-grade gas range with a vent hood, a built-in dishwasher, and a premium refrigerator with paneled sides to integrate into the cabinetry wall.
Overall, this remodel achieves a perfect balance of style, comfort, and practicality, with high-quality finishes and thoughtful design choices that elevate the kitchen into a refined yet welcoming heart of the home.
