The detail

What a proper
paving job includes.

Most failed paving isn't a paver problem — it's what's underneath. Paving sinks, spreads and cracks when the sub-base was never compacted or the edges were never restrained. We build the layers first and lay the surface last.

  • 01
    Site assessment and set-out

    We measure, check the fall for drainage, and confirm levels against your thresholds and gate.

  • 02
    Excavation and sub-base

    Excavate to depth, lay and compact G5 base course in layers. This is what carries the load.

  • 03
    Edge restraint and kerbing

    Concrete edging or kerb along every open edge so the paving cannot spread sideways over time.

  • 04
    Bedding and laying

    Screeded bedding sand, then pavers laid to your chosen pattern — herringbone, stretcher or basket weave.

  • 05
    Compaction and jointing

    Plate compact the surface, then brush kiln-dried jointing sand into every joint and re-compact.

  • 06
    Clean-up and rubble removal

    We clear the site and remove the spoil. You get the driveway back, not a mess.

Questions

Straight answers.

How much does paving cost in Cape Town?

It depends on the paver you choose, the area in square metres, and how much excavation the site needs. A level driveway on good ground costs a lot less than one needing deep excavation and retaining. We measure on site and give you a firm written price — no charge, no obligation.

How long does a driveway take?

A standard residential driveway is usually three to five working days including sub-base and curing. Larger commercial areas are phased so you keep access throughout.

Which paver should I choose?

For a driveway, 60mm bevel or interlock is standard. For heavy vehicles or commercial yards, go to 80mm bond pavers. Clay pavers hold their colour permanently but cost more. We bring samples to the site assessment.

Do you supply the materials as well?

Yes. We carry cement, bricks, sheeting and the full paving range at trade rates, so materials come through us on the same contract rather than you sourcing separately.

Do you work outside Cape Town?

We work throughout the Western Cape and in Gauteng. Tell us where the site is and we will confirm.

Are you registered for municipal and commercial work?

Yes. iLifa is a Level 1 BBBEE contributor and CIDB registered, and we do reinstatement work for the City of Cape Town.
