I can’t recommend this company enough. Our new patio is fantastic. Patrick has such great ideas for design and practicality that we loved the overall vision. The most professional team of workers and courteous you will ever meet, and their attention to detail is top-rate.

I watched Pat and the team working on a job on Channel Rd in Artane for a few days before approaching him about my front garden. Pat turned up as discussed and gave me a good price on concrete imprint. I was also trying to decide on front porch steps and Patrick recommended 6ft Granite pavers which we decided to go for. On the 3 days of the job the guys turned up at 8am with what i can only say was incredible machiney. The guys working for him were gentlemen and their stonework was excellent. The Granite work really made the garden as a feature as Pat originally described and the concrete imprint was absolutely top quality. I can highly recommend O'Brien Paving and Pat is a gent to deal with.

Well done to Pat and his team on a fantastic job. We really love our new imprinted concrete driveway and extended patio at the rear. A lot of work was done for a fair price. The job was started earlier than planned and was completed ahead of schedule. The team was well organised by Pat and the labourers were extremely hard working. They were very punctual, clean and obliging. All in all, they paid great attention to detail and had a very professional approach to everything they did. It was obvious that they were very proud of their work. O’Brien Driveways were a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else.

Pat and his workers transformed our garden in just 4 days. They laid porcelain tiles and new turf as well as re-using some of our old paving to create 2 areas ready for a new shed and hopefully a summerhouse for our daughter next summer. We are very happy with it and can't wait to have our first barbecue.

They were here early everyday and worked until it went too dark to work any longer. Pat provided us with some really good advice so that we got what we wanted and the quality of workmanship was excellent. I would recommend Pat and his team without hesitation....and if we need any more work doing would definitely use OBrien Driveways again.
