Paving Wiz lays driveways, patios and parking areas in Kleinmond, Palmiet, Proteadorp and Hangklip. Kleinmond sits between the mountain and the sea on ground that changes quickly — sandy near the lagoon, rocky and shallow as you climb.
The ground changes within a few hundred metres
Contents
Down near the lagoon you are on sand. A few streets up you are into gravel and then into rock not far below the surface. A rate quoted over the phone for Kleinmond is a guess, because the single biggest variable has not been looked at.
We dig a test hole on the site visit. It takes ten minutes and it is the difference between a price that holds and a price that changes once the machine arrives.
Wind, and what it takes out of joints
Kleinmond is exposed to the same coastal wind as the rest of this shoreline. Joint sand goes the same way it goes at Blouberg, just a little more slowly. On an open plot a stabilised joint is the difference between sweeping every spring and not thinking about it.
What we find, and what it costs
| Area | Typical ground | What the build needs |
|---|---|---|
| Near the lagoon | Sand | Deeper graded stone base |
| Town centre | Sand over gravel | Standard base |
| Upper slopes | Shallow rock | Less stone, some breaking |
| Steep plots | Varies | Stepped base, heavier edges |
What it costs in Kleinmond
Because the ground varies so much over short distances, we test-dig before quoting rather than applying one rate across the town.
| Ground found | Excavation | Installed rate |
|---|---|---|
| Sandy, near the lagoon | Standard, deeper base | R320 – R440/m² |
| Mixed sand and gravel | Standard | R300 – R420/m² |
| Rock close to surface | Breaking, less stone needed | Quoted after test dig |
| Steep plot | Stepped base | Add 10 – 15% |
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.
Kleinmond paving questions
Can you quote without coming out?
Not honestly, not here. The ground varies too much across the town for a phone quote to mean anything.
Is rock a problem?
It is a good foundation and a slow excavation. Whether it helps or hurts the price depends on how deep it sits.
What does a 35m² driveway cost?
R10,500 to R14,700 on ordinary ground; more if rock has to be broken.
