What this website is
What this website is, and what it is not
Joburg Paving Connect is a website that funnels leads to paving contractors. We connect Johannesburg homeowners, estates and body corporates with independent paving contractors who cover their suburb. We do not lay paving, we do not set contractors' prices and we do not warrant their work. The contractor quotes you and does the job, and your agreement is with them.
We also do not publish ratings, review counts, years of experience, guarantees or registrations that nobody has confirmed. What we publish is plain, local information about paving in Johannesburg, so that you can describe the job well and compare quotes sensibly. Where we give prices, we say which contractor or guide published them.
Most people who look for paving in Johannesburg are in one of two places. Some are planning: a new driveway before a house goes on the market, a clay-brick patio for the summer, a pool surround, or a whole new layout for a home they have just bought. Others have a problem: a driveway that has sunk where the car stands, blocks lifting along a tree line, or a section that washed out in a December storm. Both start the same way: send us your suburb, a description of the job and how to reach you.
What we can help with
Seven paving services, one job at a time
Each service is a different job with a different price driver: a driveway is mostly about the base and the falls; a patio about the finish and the levels against the house; a repair starts with finding out why the paving failed.
Services
Paving services we connect you with
We connect Johannesburg homeowners, estates and body corporates with independent contractors for the services below. Where we have a local page for your suburb, it is linked under the service.
Driveway paving
A new driveway, a replacement for a tired one, or a relay of paving that has sunk. Tell us about it and we connect you with paving contractors who cover your suburb. They measure and quote you directly.
Block, clay and cobble paving
You have decided on paving. Now you are choosing which kind. Here is how concrete block, clay brick and cobble pavers differ, and how to get quotes from contractors who lay them in your area.
Patios, walkways and pool surrounds
Entertainment patios, paths through the garden and the paving around a pool. These areas carry feet, not cars, but they bring their own questions about heat, slip and water.
Paving repairs and relay
Sunken patches, blocks that rock, edges that have crept, water that pools after every storm. Paving repairs are about finding why it failed, then fixing the cause.
Paving design and layout
Patterns, borders, colours and levels. A good paving design looks right, drains properly and suits how the space is used. Here is what to think about before you ask for quotes.
Commercial and estate paving
Shared driveways in a complex, internal estate roads, parking bays at a small business. A different buyer, a different decision process and usually a bigger job.
Paving cleaning and sealing
A maintenance service for paving that is sound but dirty, stained, weedy or faded. It is different from new paving or repairs, and we keep it separate.
How a quote works
Paving is only as good as what lies under it
Johannesburg is built on very different ground from one suburb to the next. Much of the north sits on the granite of the Johannesburg Dome, where the soil can change from the top of a slope to the bottom. Northcliff is a ridge of older West Rand Group rock. Parts of the West Rand and the East Rand lie on dolomite. And most of the city's rain falls between October and March, often in short, heavy thunderstorms.
That is why a good paving quote talks about excavation depth, the base layer, compaction, edge restraint and where the water goes, not only about the pavers. Our guides to how deep a paving base should be and slopes and drainage explain what to ask.

When to plan
When to plan a paving job
Johannesburg's rain falls mostly in summer, from October to March, and December is usually the wettest month. The dry months, roughly April to August, are the easiest time to excavate, compact a base and lay paving. If you want a new driveway in place before the summer storms, start comparing quotes in winter. If your paving is already sinking, have it looked at before the rain makes the problem worse.
