Vetted pavers in Randburg. Book now.

Randburg homeowners pay roughly R100 to R300 per m² for paving labour, around R200 on average. A full install with standard paving bricks, sand and cement runs R400 to R700 per m², and cobbles, clay or large-format pavers cost R700 to R1,200 or more. Ask for the labour and materials split, since small relaying jobs often carry a R1,500 to R4,000 minimum.

Many 1970s and 80s ranges are long discontinued, so an exact match is unlikely. A paver can source the closest colour and size, or design a border that makes the change look intentional, which usually looks better than a near miss. Bring a loose brick to the supplier and compare in daylight.

If the bricks are sound, relaying them on a rebuilt base is a fraction of the cost of new paving and gives you a flat, tidy surface. It only stops making sense when the pavers are crumbling or you want a different look for the renovated home. A pro will lift a few to check the base before recommending either route.

You might, because lawn absorbs rain and paving sheds it, so a big new area needs a planned fall to a drain or bed. Neighbours on the downhill side will notice if run-off ends up in their yard. Permeable pavers or keeping some planted areas are sensible on Randburg's older stands with mature gardens.
