About This Service

Professional Paving Contractors in Pretoria

Paving looks straightforward, but paving done badly is one of the most expensive problems to fix after the fact. Subsidence, cracking, poor drainage, and lifting pavers are almost always the result of inadequate base preparation — and no amount of quality pavers or sealer will compensate for a poorly compacted sub-base.

Plexirenovations follows the correct paving process every time: proper excavation to the right depth, a well-graded and compacted granular base layer, correct edge restraints, appropriate falls for drainage, and pavers laid to the specified pattern with consistent joint width. This is what separates paving that lasts from paving that fails.

Paving Types We Install

We install clay brick pavers, concrete brick pavers, natural slate and travertine pavers, porcelain outdoor tiles, exposed aggregate concrete, and plain or stencilled concrete. Each material has different base requirements, jointing specifications, and maintenance needs — we advise you on the right choice for your application and budget.

For driveways, we consider the number of vehicles, the weight of those vehicles, and the slope of the driveway before specifying the base depth and material. A single-vehicle residential driveway is engineered differently from a double garage access or a commercial parking area.

Our Process

How We Lay Your Paving

01

Site Assessment & Quotation

We visit your property, assess the area to be paved, check levels and drainage directions, discuss your preferred paving material and pattern, and provide a detailed quote including all preparation and finishing work. No surprises once we start.

02

Excavation & Base Preparation

We excavate to the required depth based on soil conditions and intended load, install edge restraints, and compact the sub-base. The base layer is laid and compacted in the correct lifts with a plate compactor. This is the most important step in the process — everything that follows depends on getting this right.

03

Bedding Layer & Paver Laying

A screeded sand or mortar bedding layer is prepared to the design falls. Pavers are laid to the agreed pattern with consistent joint width and checked regularly for level. Cuts are made accurately at edges and around obstacles.

04

Compaction, Jointing & Sealing

Completed paving is vibrated with a plate compactor to seat the pavers firmly into the bedding layer. Joints are filled with kiln-dried sand or grouted as specified. Sealer is applied where required to protect and enhance the finished surface.

Common Questions

Paving FAQs

Clay brick pavers are one of the most durable paving materials available and can last 50+ years when properly installed and maintained. Concrete pavers typically last 20–30 years before requiring replacement. Natural stone can last indefinitely with correct installation. The base preparation is a bigger determinant of longevity than the paver material — a good paver on a bad base will fail in 5 years.
The three most common causes in Pretoria are: inadequate base depth or compaction (the most common), water ingress into the base layer causing erosion — particularly on slopes or where drainage is poor — and tree root growth disturbing the base. When we repair failed paving, we investigate and address the underlying cause rather than simply relaying pavers over the same problem.
We recommend sealing for natural stone, travertine, and some porcelain pavers — these materials benefit significantly from a quality penetrating sealer that protects against oil, tannin, and moss staining. Clay and concrete brick pavers can be sealed but don't require it structurally. We discuss sealing options with every client and include it in the quote where recommended.
In most cases, resurfacing or repaving an existing driveway does not require council approval. Installing a new driveway access through a kerb or boundary wall may require approval from City of Tshwane and, where applicable, your HOA. We advise on the compliance requirements for your specific project at the quotation stage.
Clay pavers are fired at high temperatures and have a natural colour that goes all the way through — they don't fade over time and develop a beautiful patina with age. Concrete pavers are more affordable upfront but can fade and chip over time as the surface coating wears. For a permanent, low-maintenance driveway, clay pavers are worth the extra investment. For a budget-conscious project, quality concrete pavers are a solid choice. We'll advise based on your priorities and budget.

TESTIMONIALS

Resent client feedback

I contracted Plexirenovations and Construction to transform an open patio into a sun room and braai area. Being active in the construction industry all my working career I understood the complexities of enclosing the patio area and replacing and waterproofing the split level roof. The project was undertaken with absolute professionalism and attention to detail. I was kept up to date with the schedule as well as the inevitable problems that arose and their speedy resolution. Highly recommended and can be trusted to deliver a high quality product within all the contractual conditions. Photos show before and after.

The overall building project processes was handled with excellent businesses, acumen. We were professionally informed by the builder concerning what products to use in the different areas of our building needs. This made the choices we took much easier for us. The demolition work was done with care and neatly cleaned afterwards. The brick and mortar, plumbing, tiling, electrical , carpentry and painting work was also excellently done. The builder kept to the timeliness and afterwards left the building site as neat as he has found it. The builder also did not hesitate to after a few months contact us to found out if everything is in order. We did have a request for an adjustment and once again it was immediately addressed by Plexirenovations. My wife and myself highly recommend the services of Plexirenovations.

Ben and team undertook a major renovation of my entire home. They were able to achieve a phenomenal turnaround time of 4 months. The project was managed well, with clear and open communication, and they’ve been readily available for any concerns we may have had from the beginning. Well done to the team and special mention to Phillip for being ever so helpful 🙏

Cannot thank Ben, Phillip and the rest of the team enough. They went above and beyond to assist us and to make sure we were happy with the end results of the renovations to our home. Amazing work ethic and service delivery and the whole team is just genuinely kind.
