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.

Washington and the team from Royal Paving did an excellent job. From my first call to request a quotation, I was amazed at the level of service they gave. They finished the project in time and there were no hidden extra costs.

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!

Under the mountain

Artificial grass in the Helderberg: Somerset West and Strand

Somerset West sits under the Helderberg mountain, part of the Hottentots-Holland range, and borders Strand and Gordon’s Bay. Strand lies on the north-eastern shore of False Bay, with a long sandy beach and beachfront apartments along it.

From our base at Elders Farm, Old Paarl Road, Kraaifontein, Somerset West is about 28 km away in a straight line and Strand about 32 km, which makes the Helderberg one of the furthest areas on this site from us.

Homes run from Strand’s beachfront flats to estates on the Somerset West side such as Erinvale Golf Estate, Sitari Country Estate and Helderberg Estate. If you live on a golf estate and want to practise at home, our 16 mm Multi Eagle putting green gives a realistic ball roll on a firm surface. For a lawn near the beach, our grass is UV protected and can withstand high and low temperatures.

Paving is asked for here too: people search for pavers and paving contractors in Somerset West. We lay paving and pave around pools after seeing the garden.

How it works

How we quote and lay

We come from Elders Farm, Old Paarl Road, Kraaifontein: about 28 km to Somerset West and 32 km to Strand in a straight line (see Somerset West on Google Maps).

  1. Tell us where

    Somerset West, Strand or nearby, the space and what you want. Form, call or WhatsApp 081 597 4657.

  2. We come out first

    Washington or the team sees the job before quoting, so the price is for your garden.

  3. Laid with drainage

    On soil, drainage is part of the installation. Our grass warranties run 3, 8 or 10 years, by product.

Rules to know

Estates, flats and water rules

On a Somerset West estate, ask the estate’s management whether a new lawn, paving or a pool needs approval, and whether contractors must be booked in at the gate. In a Strand beachfront block, ask the body corporate before anything changes on shared ground.

Somerset West and Strand fall under the City of Cape Town, so the City’s permanent water rules apply here: in 2021 the City reminded residents to water gardens on municipal drinking water only before 9am or after 6pm.
