Surfacing roads, yards and driveways across Leinster.
Groundworks, asphalt, kerbing, road planing, ramps and line marking — for local authorities, civil engineering contractors, builders and private customers. Family run since the 1970s.
Eight trades, and only one contractor on site.
From breaking ground to painting the last line. One crew, one price, and one number to ring if something needs looking at.
A council road, an estate car park and a farm lane are built the same way. The only thing that changes is the scale of the plant and the depth of the build-up. That is the whole argument for using a contractor who does the groundworks, the surfacing, the kerbs and the lining themselves — nobody is waiting on anybody else, and there is no argument about whose fault the low spot is.
Asphalt & tarmacadam
Machine-laid binder and surface courses for roads, estate roads, car parks, yards and driveways. Laid hot, rolled properly, joints and edges sealed against water.
Groundworks & kerbing
Dig-out and cart-away, formation level, proof-rolling and sub-base compacted in layers. Concrete and conservation kerbs, channels, edgings and dished crossings set on a proper haunch.
Road planing & reinstatement
Cold planing to remove worn surfacing to a set depth ready for overlay, and reinstatement around gullies, manholes and thresholds so the levels finish where they should.
Ramps & line marking
Speed ramps, cushions and raised tables built to profile. Car park bays, disabled and loading bays, arrows, hatching and road markings set out and painted to last.
Dug, laid, kerbed and lined — all by the same crew, out of the one yard in Ratoath.
Night works and weekend closures where the site cannot afford to shut in the daytime.
Nearly fifty years on the same roads.
A family business, still run by the family, working the ground between Ratoath, Ashbourne and Dunshaughlin.
RM Cleary has been surfacing in this corner of Meath since the 1970s — long enough that a fair share of the tarmac around Ratoath has been laid, patched or planed by somebody in this family.
The work splits three ways and always has. Local authority contracts: resurfacing, planing, reinstatement, footpaths, kerbs, ramps and lining. Packages for civil engineering firms and builders: site roads, estate roads, car parks and hardstanding. And private customers — driveways, yards and lanes, done by the same crew that did the council job the week before.
One crew, one standard, whether it is a county road or a farm lane.
Some of what we have been at lately.
Access roads, footpaths and car parks — dug out, built up, surfaced and edged.

Most of Leinster, inside the hour.
Ratoath sits right on the Meath–Dublin boundary, which puts Dublin, Meath and most of the surrounding counties within an hour of the yard. Plant and crews travel out daily.
