Vetted pavers in Roodepoort. Book now.

In Roodepoort paving labour typically costs R100 to R300 per m², with R200 being about 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. Sloping stands can add base work, so ask for the labour and materials split on the quote.

On the ridges water moves fast, so a driveway sloping to the house needs a channel drain across the garage door and falls that push run-off to the sides. Terracing a steep drive into gentler sections with kerbs stops the base washing out. A paver should walk the slope in mind of where the water goes before quoting.

Mature trees on older stands push shallow roots under paving and hump it, especially near the pavement. A paver can lift the section, trim surface roots and relay over a root barrier, but a large tree will keep pushing. Widening the bed around the trunk is often the smarter long-term answer.

Sinking is a base problem rather than a brick problem: thin fill, poor compaction or water washing the fines out on a slope. The affected section gets lifted, the base rebuilt and compacted, and the same pavers go back down. Only when the whole area is dipping does a full relay make sense.
