How long does it take to get a new driveway installation?
One of the most common questions that we get asked is “How long does it take to get a new driveway paving installation in my home?”. It should be stated that every driveway and garden project is unique, which means that the timeline varies from project to project. In this post, we’ll take a look at the different stages of a driveway paving project, and what you can expect if you decide to install a new driveway.

We’re aware that installing a new driveway can be an inconvenience or can disrupt your daily routine. We aim to provide accurate timelines from the outset so that you can prepare and get back to normal quickly and with minimal disruption. Below, we will outline how long it takes to get a new driveway paving completed.
Initial Consultation: 1 to 2 days
Generally speaking, we can arrange to visit your property within a day or 2 of your call. Kilcroney Paving provide a free on-site inspection and consultation with Thomas, our experienced driveway expert. We will assess the soil conditions and current driveway, measure the driveway, discuss your preferences/options and answer all of your questions. We will then provide a free estimate for the job based on this consultation.
Driveway Excavation: 1 to 3 days
Using the latest equipment, our experienced team will excavate the site for the sub-base. The exact timeline of this process depends on a variety of factors including the size and depth of the driveway, the elevation, the digging method, the existing surface material and the weather. We will complete this stage while causing a minimum disruption and mess around your home.
Driveway Paving: 1 to 2 days
Once the driveway has been excavated, we will place the sub-base, smoothen it and compact it. This creates a solid foundation so that we can then begin the new driveway paving installation. Each driveway paving project is different, but generally speaking the timeline is 1 to 2 days to complete the job after the excavation and sub base as been complete. Kilcroney Paving are expert paving contractors with experience in all types of driveway paving from tarmac to resin driveways. We will often include a beautiful contrasting cobble border to add the finishing touches to your new driveway.
Initial Curing: 1 to 2 days
It’s important to note that the driveway material must be allowed to sit before it becomes fully usable. You will still have access to your home on foot, however we advise that you keep all vehicles off your new driveway for a day or 2. We will place warning tape around the new surface alerting visitors to keep off the driveway during this time.
