Planning a lift and re-lay job in Lisburn
Across Lisburn, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.

It is also the way to change a layout, add drainage or a recessed cover, or raise or lower a drive, without buying new blocks. A small allowance of new blocks is usually needed for breakages and new cuts.
- New screeded laying course
