“John & his team were superb. I had a tarmac driveway removed & a gold gravel driveway with edging around my garden completed in 3 days. They worked endlessly and efficently to get me finished before a Bank Holiday weekend. Their work is tasty, clean & efficent. Im delighted with the finish. John advised on best kerbing layout for a awkard area i have & the finished excellent. Recommend these guys highly.”

Had my drive done by John and his team, would highly recommend them, very quick & spotless clean, absolutely delighted with the finished result
John and Gerry and his team were amazing. They arrived on Monday and finished the job on Wednesday. They worked so so hard. They even battled through Storm Bram. I’ve never met such lovely men and such hard workers. They did my large patio in the back garden and also removed the roots from a tree that had grown into my front garden they then did my driveway. I’m thrilled with the result. I would highly recommend them.
John and his team did a great job on our driveway. He was a pleasure to work with, their work was excellent . Nothing was an issue for them , I would highly recommend Pheonix Paving.
John and his team have just completed my driveway, which was a disgrace as im not into gardening at all. They’ve completely transformed my driveway and whole look of my house, I’m absolutely delighted with the result. John was very professional and answered all my questions without me having to ask them. I would 100% recommend him and his team going forward.
Shout out to Phoenix Driveways. Had my new concrete driveway put in by Phoenix. John and the guys did a great job. It's exactly what I wanted. They took away all the old driveway and rubbish. The standard of work was excellent.

John did such an amazing back on my back garden that I got him back to do my front. So trustworthy I was off for the weekend and asked john to lock up after himself when he was finished. Absolutely great job
I needed a couple of Patios installed and I'm glad I got John and his hard working team to install them. They did an excellent job, very professional, you can tell they have the knowledge and experience the way they go about their tasks. Would certainly recommend them.
I had a cobble lock drive and every year I spend so much time taking out the weeds, I decided to get somebody that could sort it out. I made contact with Phoenix Driveways. Met John and we discussed what I wanted. He was so professional and interested in what I wanted. They arrived promptly , did excellent work transformed my drive. His Team were super workers and got the job done in great time. Also they cut back trees in my garden and sorted out my roof. Nothing was too much for them. They had great pride in their work, wonderful to see. I would definitely recommend them and I would call on them again in the future.
We have now used John and his team on 2 properties for driveway, patio and fake grass landscaping and have been extremely happy with their work both times. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Ultimate professionals from start to finish. Thanks John and gang
We were so impressed with John, Sean & the rest of the team of six. From my first contact with John, he was helpful & professional & arrived the very next day to view the job required & provide a competitive quote. All the team worked from 7.45am to 5pm & had this big job done in 4 days. Such a relief not to have the work spread out over weeks with workers coming & going. If you go with Phoenix, rest assured that the work will be done efficiently & professionally & that John will consult you every step of the way. We are thrilled with the transformation of our front & back gardens & would have no hesitation in recommending John & his team for their skilled work - thank you Team Phoenix!
I needed the borders widened on an existing gravel drive (semi-d house and driveway is about 6m from gate to door), for topsoil to be added to the borders, and stone edging to the borders to be put back in place. John Maloney and his team cleared out the hardcore and the gravel in the widened borders to make room for the new topsoil and put back the edging perfectly - it looks great. They work very hard and are very quick and seem to have all the right equipment. They started off at 8am on the dot and did not stop working until the job was done. They went the extra mile. Highly recommended
Superb customer service and patio installation from John& his team. I was particularly impressed by his attention to detail& the speed at which they worked. He was punctual, knowledgeable & took great care into finding out what we wanted with photo suggestions & a garden inspection prior to starting the work. I'd have no hesitation in getting him to do further work in our house & have recommended him to others already.
John just finished and amazing job. Was completely overgrown and looks amazing now with 3 different types of landscaping provided. His team were extremely respectful of my home and left everything immaculate after they left
John and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They completely transformed our driveway, we are delighted with the job. The price was very reasonable too.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the outstanding service I received from John and his team on my driveway in D12. John's expertise in helping me choose the right material was invaluable. He thoughtfully considered every detail, like ease of maneuvering a pram. He even let my 3 year old play in his digger! The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and made sure the site was cleaned up thoroughly after the job was done. I was especially impressed with how responsive John was, even taking the time to reply to messages on a Sunday. The quality of the work is excellent. Highly recommend.

Electrical work in Ireland must be carried out and certified by a Registered Electrical Contractor on the statutory Safe Electric register. Checking they're listed is free and takes a minute - do it before you hire.
Check the Safe Electric registerIn Ireland, gas work must by law be done by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) and electrical work by a contractor registered with Safe Electric. Verify the registration on the public register before any gas or electrical job, as using an unregistered installer is illegal and dangerous.
