Vetted pavers in Fourways. Book now.

Fourways paving labour runs roughly R100 to R300 per m², commonly about R200. Installed with standard paving bricks, sand and cement it comes to R400 to R700 per m², and cobbles, clay or large-format pavers cost R700 to R1,200 or more. Complexes often add rubble removal at R500 to R1,500 per load, so ask for the labour and materials split.

Most estates and townhouse complexes around Fourways want contractor registration, crew ID copies, fixed working hours and a plan for rubble, usually with no skip on the road without approval. A paver who works in the area will have this in hand. Sort the paperwork with the estate office before the first delivery.

Developer-spec paving often skips proper edge restraint, so the outer rows creep, joints open and sand washes away until the middle follows. A concrete haunch or kerb along the edge stops the drift for good. Edging costs R120 to R250 per running metre and is the cheapest fix with the biggest effect.

Choose a textured or tumbled paver with bullnose coping, because smooth faces turn slippery when wet and chlorinated water encourages algae. Lay it with a slight fall away from the water and go for lighter colours that stay cooler underfoot. In a complex, check the body corporate rules on pool surrounds first.
