They did a good job paving my driveway with half brick wheatstone pavers. Additionally ripped up, cleaned and repaved another area with my old pavers. Happy with quality of the work and the fact that the team got this done just before Christmas!

I contacted Royal Paving and Washington came to assess my yard and he outright presented a plan on how he will execute the task at hand. Royal paving spent the following days backfilling, leveling and compacting my yard, and even building drainage systems. … The artificial grass was just a cherry on top.

Washington and his team were professional and their workmanship was outstanding. They took our vision and ideas, and planned and advised, and then delivered a better completed project than we imagined. They worked with precision and speed and were very neat.

Driveway paving

A driveway paved to carry cars and shed water

A driveway carries the weight of cars every day, so what sits under the pavers matters as much as the pavers you see. When we pave a drive, the old surface comes out, the ground is graded at a 2% slope away from your home so water drains away, and the base is built up and compacted before a single paver goes down.

For driveways we list three pavers. Our 50 mm bond pavers are made mainly for homes, our 60 mm interlocking pavers are suited to light industrial use such as parking areas and roads, and the square eco paver breaks the traditional paving look. Bond and interlocking pavers come in grey, tan, terracotta and charcoal, and can be laid in different patterns.

For a softer look, our cobbles are made for driveways and pathways too, and the 3-piece set is designed for large driveways. If you would rather have a poured finish than pavers, ask about exposed aggregate driveways. For patios and paths, see paving slabs, and for the full range, paving in Cape Town.

How we pave a drive

From the old surface to the first car

The same careful base as all our paving, with the steps that matter most on a driveway. Your paving is covered by our 5-year warranty.

  1. Take out the old surface

    We dig out the area and remove any grass or existing hard surface.

  2. Slope it away from the house

    The ground is graded at a 2% slope away from your home, so rain runs off the drive and not towards the walls.

  3. Build and compact the base

    A 50 mm sub-base and crusher dust go down and are compacted, with a 10 mm sand bed screeded on top.

  4. Lay your pattern

    The pavers go down in the pattern you chose, and the borders are cut clean with a stone grinder.

  5. Edge it in

    A concrete edge restraint holds the pavers in place, even in very hot weather.

  6. Grout, compact, clean

    Grouting sand goes into the joints, bond paving is compacted on top and given a high pressure clean, and the drive is handed over clean.

Is this you?

When driveway paving is the right job

A good fit

A gravel, grass or cracked drive

We take out what is there and pave it on a new compacted base.

A good fit

Water pooling by the house

A new drive is graded to slope away from your home, so water drains off.

A good fit

A business or a parking area

Interlocking pavers are suited to light industrial use, with a 40 MPa option.

Look elsewhere

A drive that is only dirty or sunken in places

Cleaning, sealing and repairs to sagging ground may be enough.

You want no joints at all

Exposed aggregate is poured concrete with the stone showing, not pavers.

Common questions

Questions about driveway paving

How much does it cost to pave a driveway?

Our driveway pavers are listed at R350/m² supplied and laid for eco pavers, R390/m² for bond pavers and R420/m² for interlocking pavers and the 3-piece cobbles. The size of the drive and what has to come out first change the total, so we see the driveway before we quote. Prices checked 10 November 2026; the paving cost guide has the full list.

Can I pave my own driveway?

You can: we sell our pavers supply only, so you can buy them and lay them yourself. The work is in the base: digging out, grading the slope away from the house, and compacting the sub-base properly. If that part is skipped, a driveway can sink or shift. If you would rather not do it yourself, we supply and lay the pavers in one quote.

Which pavers are best for a driveway?

For a home, our 50 mm bond pavers are the usual choice; they are made mainly for domestic driveways and paths. Where heavier vehicles park or drive, our 60 mm interlocking pavers are suited to light industrial use. The eco paver and the 3-piece cobbles suit driveways too, if you want a different look.

What colours can my driveway be?

Bond and interlocking pavers come in grey, tan, terracotta and charcoal. Both can be laid in different patterns to create your own design.

Can a paved driveway take heavy vehicles?

Our 60 mm interlocking pavers are made for light industrial use, such as parking areas and roads, and can be ordered in 40 MPa strength if you need it. Tell us what will drive on it when you ask for your quote.

Do you take up my old driveway first?

Yes. The first step of our paving is to dig out the area and remove any grass or existing hard surface, so the new base starts on firm ground.

Do you pave driveways all over Cape Town?

Yes. We pave driveways across Cape Town, from our base in Kraaifontein to the Northern Suburbs, Southern Suburbs, Helderberg, West Coast and Atlantic Seaboard. Add your suburb to the quote form.
