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.

Mountain side

Paving in the Southern Suburbs

The Southern Suburbs run along the eastern side of Table Mountain, through Rondebosch, Newlands, Claremont, Kenilworth, Bishopscourt, Wynberg, Plumstead, Constantia, Bergvliet and Tokai, down to Muizenberg. They were some of the earliest parts of Cape Town to develop, and the housing is mostly detached homes, townhouses and low-rise flats on tree-lined streets.

This is the wet side of the mountain. Newlands, at its foot, is described as the wettest suburb in South Africa, mostly from its heavy winter rain. Paving here has to shed water, so every job is graded at a 2% slope away from your home, built on a compacted 50 mm sub-base with crusher dust, and finished with grouting sand compacted into the joints. We recommend sealing too: it helps stop algae, moss and weeds growing. The full method is on our paving page.

For courtyards and narrow paths we lay square cobbles, three-piece sets and flagstone cobbles; Cobbles 200 x 200 are one of our best sellers.

A lawn beside the new paving? We lay artificial grass too, with drainage included when it goes onto soil.

Rules to know

Before the work starts

Townhouses and low-rise blocks are common here; if yours has a body corporate, ask it before we pave anything on shared ground. If your home is in one of the City’s heritage areas, ask the City whether changes outside need approval before work starts.

The City of Cape Town’s Water By-law applies here as across the city: in 2021 the City reminded residents to water gardens on municipal drinking water only before 9am or after 6pm.

Common questions

Questions about paving here

Which Southern Suburbs do you pave in?

Our service area is all of Cape Town, and the Southern Suburbs are one of the regions we name, from Rondebosch and Claremont through Constantia and Tokai to Muizenberg. Put your suburb on the quote form.

How do you stop paving flooding in a Southern Suburbs winter?

We grade the ground at a 2% slope away from the house so water runs off, then build a compacted sub-base with crusher dust under a 10 mm screeded sand bed. Drainage needs differ by site, so we see the job before quoting.

Do you lay cobbles in the Southern Suburbs?

Yes: square cobbles in 100, 110 and 200 sizes, the three-piece set and flagstone cobbles, for paths, courtyards and driveways, plus cobble edging for lawns.

Will moss grow on my paving in the Southern Suburbs?

Damp, shaded paving can grow algae and moss. Sealing helps prevent algae, moss and weeds, so we recommend it after installation.

Can you lay a lawn and paving together in the Southern Suburbs?

Yes. The same team lays both, so a lawn beside a new path or patio can be one quote, finished with cobble edging between them.
