Vetted pavers in Centurion. Book now.

Around Centurion labour-only paving comes in at R100 to R300 per m², usually about R200. Installed with standard paving bricks, sand and cement you can expect R400 to R700 per m², while premium cobbles, clay or large-format pavers run R700 to R1,200 or more. Estate rubble removal at R500 to R1,500 per load is often an extra line, so ask for the full split.

Most Centurion estates need contractor registration, ID copies for the crew and set working hours, and many forbid rubble sitting on the verge overnight. A paver who has worked in the area will have the paperwork ready and price the rubble removal properly. Check with your estate office before the first delivery arrives.

Yes, the clay around Centurion swells in wet summers and shrinks in dry winters, which is why paving here heaves and sinks if laid straight onto it. A thicker compacted G5 base and good drainage take the movement out of play. Skimping on the base is the most common reason paving fails in newer estates.

Driveways need 60 mm pavers laid on at least 100 mm of compacted base, whereas patios and walkways can use 50 mm pavers on a thinner bed. If a bakkie or trailer will park there regularly, go thicker on the base rather than the paver. Many developer-spec driveways in newer areas were laid to foot-traffic thickness, which is why they fail early.
