Yes, but the body corporate or HOA will want contractor registration, working hours and often a rubble plan before anyone starts. Skips usually need approval and a spot that does not block a visitor bay. A paver who has worked in Sandton estates will know to sort this out with you rather than turn up unannounced.

Choose a paver with a textured or tumbled face, because smooth surfaces get treacherous when wet and chlorinated water speeds up algae. Bullnose coping keeps the edge comfortable underfoot, and a slight fall away from the pool stops splash water pooling. Light colours stay cooler on a Highveld summer afternoon.

Clay pavers hold their colour for decades and suit premium homes, but they cost more and the sizes vary slightly. Concrete pavers are cheaper, uniform and available in many finishes, though the colour fades over time. Cobbles give a heritage look and take heavy loads well, at the top of the price range for laying.
