Gravel Driveway & Cobble Apron

The project

A golden gravel driveway in Rathfarnham, framed by a curved cobble edge and a full cobble apron at the entrance.

The old surface was broken out and carted away, then the drive rebuilt on a compacted base: a cobble apron at the road, a curved cobble edge to hold the shape, and the gravel bedded in tight so it stays where it is put.

Before & after

The transformation.

The old driveway was broken out and dug down, ready to be rebuilt from the base up. Drag the slider to see the change.
