Paving — done properly, shown openly
A paving job is three jobs. The one you see — laying the pavers. And the two you don't: preparing the base, and sorting whatever runs under it. We do all three and photograph all three.
What we pave
Driveways · courtyards and back yards · patios and braai areas · walkways and side passages. Grey and coloured concrete pavers, laid in herringbone, basket weave or stretcher bond. Cutting-in around trees, manholes and edges done with a grinder, not a guess.
Straight numbers, not "free quote" and silence.
Cape Town market rates for installed paving:
| All-in installed (bricks + labour + materials) | R390 – R680 /m² |
| Paving bricks | R120 – R200 /m² |
| Labour | R100 – R200 /m² |
| Sand, cement, edge restraints | R80 – R180 /m² |
What moves the number: paver choice (coloured runs ~R15/m² over grey; thicker pavers cost more), access to the site, how much ground preparation your soil needs, and drainage. A typical 60m² driveway lands between R23,000 and R41,000.

How the job runs
Five stages, every one photographed: clear and excavate → services and drainage → sub-base and bedding sand → lay and cut → compact and finish.
