Gauteng-wide
Paving in Gauteng
Driveways that carry the load and drain the water — across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, the East Rand, the West Rand and the Vaal.
Paving fails for one of two reasons, and neither of them is the brick: the base was too thin for the load, or the water had nowhere to go. Everything else is detail. We spend the money where it counts, which is under the surface you will never see.
Driveways in Gauteng take Highveld storms and, increasingly, heavier vehicles than they were built for. A base compacted properly in layers is the difference between paving that stays flat for decades and paving that ruts within two summers.
Gauteng is not one market. A 1950s house in Kensington, a cluster in Fourways and a warehouse in Wadeville are three different building jobs needing three different approaches. That is why we organise by area — so the person who arrives already knows what the properties around you are like.
What our paving service covers
Driveways
Domestic and commercial driveways with a base designed for the vehicles that will actually use them.
Patios & entertainment areas
Level, well-drained outdoor living areas that tie into the house and the garden.
Walkways & garden paths
Paths, steps and edging that stay put instead of drifting apart.
Parking areas
Commercial parking with the base, falls, bays and edge restraints the traffic requires.
Base preparation & compaction
Excavation, sub-base and base layers compacted in lifts — the part that determines whether it lasts.
Drainage & stormwater
Falls, channels and outlets so water leaves rather than sitting against the house or washing out the base.
Kerbing & edge restraints
Edges that hold the paving together, without which every driveway spreads sideways in time.
Repairs & re-laying
Lifting, re-basing and re-laying settled or rutted areas, reusing your existing pavers where they are sound.

Common questions about paving
Why did my driveway sink?
Almost always the base. Paving laid on a thin layer of sand over unprepared ground will carry a person comfortably and fail under a vehicle. Re-laying the same bricks on a properly built base usually solves it permanently.
Can you re-use my existing pavers?
Often, yes — if they are structurally sound we lift, clean and re-lay them on a new base, which saves a significant part of the cost. Where they are cracked or worn through we will say so.
How long before I can drive on it?
Interlocking paving is generally usable very soon after the joints are filled and compacted. Where there is concrete edging or a bedding that needs to cure, we will give you a specific time rather than a guess.
What about drainage?
It is part of the design, not an afterthought. Sealing a large area changes where rain goes, and paving that drains towards a house causes damp problems that cost far more than the paving did.
Do you do permeable paving?
Yes. It is worth considering on large areas where stormwater is a concern, and some estates and municipalities encourage or require it.
