Paving Wiz lays farm access, yards, driveways and parking areas in Klapmuts, Joostenbergvlakte and the smallholdings along the R44 and R101. Most of what we build out here has to carry something heavier than a car, and that single fact changes every layer of the build.
Built for the heaviest thing that uses it
Contents
A farm yard is designed around the loaded vehicle that visits once a week, not the bakkie that crosses it ten times a day. Get that wrong and the surface fails in the wheel lines of the heavy vehicle while the rest of it looks perfect, which is the most expensive kind of failure because the repair area is long and narrow.
So the first question on any Klapmuts quote is what actually comes onto the yard: a delivery bakkie, a five-tonne truck, or a tractor and trailer at harvest.
Why paving rather than gravel
Gravel is cheaper to lay and it never stops costing. It moves, it washes out in winter, it needs topping up, and it puts dust through everything in summer. A paved yard is a one-off cost that can be repaired in square metres when something is dropped on it. On a working property that trade is usually worth making on the areas that get used daily, and gravel can stay on the ones that do not.
Rates by what drives on it
| Surface | Up-front cost | Ongoing | Repairable in sections? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gravel | Lowest | Topping up, dust, wash-out | Not really, you re-spread |
| Paving | Higher | Very little | Yes, in square metres |
| Concrete | Comparable to paving | Low until it cracks | No, break out and recast |
| Tar | R280 – R400/m² | Low | Patches show |
What it costs in Klapmuts
Rates out here are set by the axle load and the area. Long runs and large yards bring the rate down; heavy vehicles push it up.
| What uses it | Paver | Rate | Typical 200m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cars only | 60mm | R300 – R420/m² | R60,000 – R84,000 |
| Bakkies and light delivery | 60mm herringbone | R320 – R450/m² | R64,000 – R90,000 |
| Loaded trucks | 80mm | R420 – R620/m² | R84,000 – R124,000 |
| Tractors and trailers | 80mm, heavy base | Quoted per job | Quoted per job |
Labour on its own is R100 to R200 per square metre. The full breakdown — pavers, labour and sub-base — with more worked examples is on our paving prices Cape Town page.
