Patio and Garden Services Tipperary

Had Andrew's lads in to do new fencing along the side and rear, and a fresh lawn put down. The fence is solid, well-finished, and the lawn has taken nicely. One small corner near the gate coud have been tidied up a bit more, but nothing major. Fair enough.

Squeezed the whole thing in between work calls and the school run and Andrew's crew just got on with it — patio looks brilliant.

Clean finish. Punctual crew. Looks miles better than before. Only gripe is it took a day longer than quoted. Would use again.

We'd been meaning to get the back sorted for years, if I'm honest. The old concrete steps down from the kitchen door were cracked and uneven, and the patio area — if you could even call it that — was a mix of random flagstones we'd laid ourselves about fifteen years ago. Half of them had sunk, the whole thing was a mess. A neighbour of mine over in Bansha got some work done a couple of summers back by a different crowd and was left with a patio that started lifting within the year. That put me off for a while, I won't lie. Then someone recommended Andrew and Emerald Driveways. The difference was night and day. The lads came in, knew exactly what they were doing, the new steps are solid and level, and the patio looks like it belongs on the house rather than being an afterthought. Neat, tidy, no mess left behind. Would use them again without a second thought.

My neighbour used a different crowd last year and honestly it looked rough within months! Got emerald driveways in and the difference is night and day! Andrew and the lads were so sound, had it done in no time and the gravel looks class! Genuinely obsessed with how tidy it came out! Would 100% recommend them over anyone else around Tipp!

Straightforward enough job until they lifted the old slabs and found the base underneath had shifted badly — previous work, not theirs. Andrew flagged it, gave me the options, added a day to sort it properly. No drama, fair cost adjustment. Patio looks well and is actually level this time. Did what they said, when they said. Would recommend.

If you are looking for someone you can genuinely trust with your home, Andrew and the lads at Emerald Drives are who I would point you to, no hesitation whatsoever. My mother is 78 and lives with me, and having contractors around the house is always a source of anxiety for both of us. Not this time. The whole experience, from getting the quote to watching them pack up on the last day, was just an absoloute relief. The driveway looks better than it ever has, honestly. I would not hesitate to use them again, and I have already passed their number on to my sister.

Andrew's crew did a patio at one of my rental properties in Tipp — showed up when they said they would, finished on time, and it doesnt look like a budget job.

The driveway at this house has seen better days for the past twenty years, so it was well overdue. Andrew sent out two lads, Ciarán and one other, and the finish they left behind is very smooth and neat right up to the edges. My daughter was down with the grandchildren at the weekend and they were delighted with it for cycling. I would have no hesitation recommending Emerald Driveways to anyone.

If I'm being honest, the reason I'd point anyone towards Emerald before I even get into the quality of the job itself is this, I've had lads come out here over the years who'd give you a price on a Monday and have vanished by Wednesday, one crowd left the front of the house in a desperate state for three weeks before they even came back to finish, so when Andrew's crew showed up on the morning they said they would and just got on with it, that alone had me relieved, and the driveway and the path down the side of the house both came out very well I have to say, neat, solid, no complaints from the neighbours either which counts for something around here, the only thing I'd say, and it's a small thing, is that I had to ring to follow up on the quote rather than it coming to me, but once everything was agreed it moved along grand and I'd absolutely use them again without hesitation.

We had a fairly awkward L-shaped area at the back that we wanted properly paved — not just slabbed down in a rush, but done with decent materials and with the levels right so water doesn't pool near the back door. Andrew came out, had a proper look at the space, and suggested a style of paving that I hadn't originally considered but that works really well with the house. The finished result is genuinely lovely. Clean lines, solid underfoot, and the drainage runs exactly as it should. 😊 The crew were tidy throughout — no mess left at the end of each day, which matters when you have a dog and kids going in and out. Pricing was fair and transparent; no surprises when the final invoice came in. The patio has been down a few months now and there's no movement, no sinkage, nothing. It looks like it was always there. All in all, a job done properly by people who clearly know their work. 👌

We chose natural sandstone over porcelain for the rear patio — a decision I'd argue was the right one given the aesthetic of the house — and Andrew's team laid it with a level of care that you don't always see from contractors working at pace. The pointing is tight, the drainage fall is correct, and the whole area reads as considered rather than just functional. In fairness, the pricing was straightforward and nothing shifted between quote and invoice, which matters. I would recommend Emerald Drives without hesitation.

My neighbour used a different crowd two years ago and the edges were lifting within months. I was wary going again after that, but Andrew and his lads were entirely different — patient with my questions, no pressure, and the price was fair and clearly explained from the start. Being on my own I appreciated that. The resin driveway looks lovely and I have not had a single issue.

Andrew came out the following Tuesday to quote. Work was booked for two weeks later started on the Monday morning finished by Wednesday. The lads were in and out no fuss and the price was very fair. Such nice people made me feel safe having them around the house.

Got three quotes before going with Emerald Drives. Quoted €3,200 and that is exactly what I paid, no extras added on. Midway through the job the lads noticed the previous edging had been set too low on one side, causing water to pool toward the garage. They flagged it, suggested a fix, and sorted it without making a fuss or bumping the price. The finished driveway is neat and solid. I would recommend them, though I would say get everything agreed in writing beforehand as good practice with any contractor.

Such nice people Andrew and his lads. Id have them back any time and wouldnt hesitate to tell anyone to give Emerald driveways a ring

Had three people quote it before I went with Andrew, and I am glad I did. My daughter kept saying to get references first, which I did, and every one of them spoke well of him. The crew were tidy, the patio looks lovely, and I would not hesitate to use Emerald driveways again. A fair, honest outfit.

The invoice from emerald driveways was exactly what was quoted — no adjustments, no surprises at the end. As someone who runs his own business, that kind of clean billing matters more than most people realise.

Got three quotes, compared specs and timelines on a spreadsheet, even tested their booking system before committing — and honestly, none of that mattered the moment I saw the finished resin. Just stood there grinning like an eejit. Andrew's lads delivered exactly what the digital quote promised. Emerald driveways, no hesitation.

I dont usually bother writing these things but I wanted to say something specifically about Andy himself. He came out to price the patio, listened properly, didnt rush off, and was straight with me about what it would and wouldnt cost. No nonsense. That matters at my age. Would recommend Emerald Drives on that alone, fair enough.
