Great job
I am very pleased with the work done. The quality of materials and the finished job are excellent. The crew were very professional, did a big job in just three days. Padraig was very reliable, arrived when agreed and kept me up to speed with every aspect of the job. He had good advice to offer and was a pleasure to deal with. I found the previous reviews reflected my positive experience and I would recommend the company gladly.

Renovate our back yard - incredible work!
Incredible experience with Absolute Drives & Patios - had an initial consultation and agreed on the plan, was able to execute the following week and was finished within 4 days. Had my whole back garden dug out - and patio laid down with Astro turf for grass. We wanted low maintenance but professional looking and they achieved this and were super quick, professional and high quality. Highly recommend.

Driveway
Absolutely delighted Very good service from Padraig and his crew. Came out at the time they said, got some paving done in the back garden and the resin driveway done perfect…the work was very professional and tidy

Padraig and his team were fantastic to deal with. Really quick to respond and drop out for an initial quote and was very reasonable. Great advice also as we had flooding issues that needed to be fixed. Work started exactly when he said it would - arriving early that morning and finishing only when all was complete. Cleaned everything after themselves and left the place tidy. Nothing was too much, and Padraig was so easy to contact, never had jobs done in the house with a company that replies as quickly. We're delighted we can actually enjoy our garden now, it's well finished and exactly what we asked for. Couldn't recommend enough!
We were delighted to help resolve those flooding issues so you can finally enjoy your garden properly. We know how important communication and punctuality are to our customers, so I’m glad you felt well-informed throughout.
Whether it’s a complex garden drainage project or a new driveway installation in Dublin, we always aim to leave the site spotless. Enjoy your new outdoor space!
Excellent Job. Would highly recommend!
Padraig and his team did an excellent job on my drive. From the prompt Quote to the finished job. I am absolutely delighted with end result. They are a very professional team. Arrived when they said they would and the job was finished in just over a day. Would highly recommend.

I am not happy for posting this review especially because it could have been prevented if the communication was clear from the beginning.
I got a quote over the phone and I was told that it was the total price to pay ("All in" was the exact phrase that was used which is very clear to me that it is the total price to pay). I agreed on that and the day that they had already started doing the work on the driveway, I was told that it does not include the VAT.
The fact that they already knew what my budget was from the beginning (and I could not increase it) and they did not mention that the VAT was not included, makes this behaviour even more unprofessional.
I agreed to the initial price and even though it was a bit over my budget, I decided to go ahead but that because they gave me the "all in" price.
Turned out I had to give 600 euro more than I was initially told!
I'm sorry but when you give a quote, you should mention if this includes or excludes VAT, specially when you use phrases like "All in", just to get the job.
I added one extra star because the work seems like a good one.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and for the 2-star rating regarding the quality of our work.
I would like to sincerely apologise for the confusion regarding the final cost. As a fully registered VAT business, we pride ourselves on transparency. It is our standard practice that following every free on-site survey, we provide a formal written quote that clearly displays both the Ex. VAT and Inc. VAT totals to avoid any ambiguity.
In this instance, it appears there was a misunderstanding during our initial phone conversation. We use the term 'all in' to refer to the comprehensive scope of labour and materials, but we certainly understand how this was interpreted differently regarding the tax. We take your comments seriously and will ensure our team is even more explicit about VAT in verbal discussions moving forward.
We have completed thousands of successful projects across Dublin, and we value our reputation for integrity. We invite anyone interested in our work to view our recent projects and further reviews on Google, Facebook, or our website gallery: https://absolutedrivesandpatios.ie/.
As a specialist in paving services across included are:
• Driveways
• Patios
• Forecourts
• Paths
All services include a choice of hardstanding materials, finished to the highest standard.

Absolutely delighted with the finished result which was completed in a record 1.5 days! From start to finish everything was managed so professionally and most importantly stress free with Padraic. He guided us through each step and was a true professional. The team were extremely hard working and ensured everything was absolutely perfect before ensuring the road was tidied up. Would like to have them back to do my back garden I was so impressed with the standard of work. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We were glad to get the project finished so quickly and professionally for you.
My team and I take great pride in making the process stress-free and leaving the area spotless.
We would be absolutely delighted to come back and transform your back garden whenever you're ready! It was a pleasure handling your driveway installation in Dublin, and we look forward to working with you again soon on your back garden.
