Brackenfell · Cape Town Northern Suburbs
One crew, kerb to kerb.
We break out the old surface, cut it to level, lay the base, and finish the edge — so you are not standing between four different contractors trying to work out whose job the joint was.

Six trades, one site
A parking area needs breaking out, levelling, kerbing, surfacing and a fence line. We carry all of it, so the levels match at the joints and nobody is waiting on anybody else's programme.
Driveways, patios and parking areas
Asphalt for roads, driveways and parking
Vibracrete boundary and high-security walls
Welded mesh security fencing
Break out, level, kerb, prepare
Decorative stone beds and artificial lawn
Brick paving laid on a compacted base, cut in around what's already there, and finished with a soldier-course edge so it holds its line.
Hot-mix asphalt over a prepared base, edged against kerb or paving. New surfacing, resurfacing, and patching where a surface has failed.
Precast panels set into slotted posts, with the height and finish you need. New boundary walls, extensions to existing walls, and high-security panels.
Clearview mesh panels on steel posts, set in concrete. Sight lines stay open, which is why schools and commercial sites specify it.
The work under and around the surface. Breaking out old material, cutting to level, laying sub-base, and setting precast kerbing and channels.
Decorative stone laid over membrane with a brick or steel edge to keep it where you put it, and artificial grass on a prepared, draining base.
One job, start to finish
An industrial yard in the Northern Suburbs, photographed from the same spot before we started and after we finished. The old asphalt had broken up. We took it out, cut the ground to level, laid the base, and paved it.
The work
Grouped by the trade so you can see exactly what we do, and how we do it. Every photograph is our own work in the Northern Suburbs — nothing here is a stock photo.

How we build
Every surface we lay is a stack of layers. Most surfaces that fail early did not fail at the top — they failed two layers down, where the price was cut.
Section through a paved area
Precast kerb, channel, or a soldier course laid tight against the field. This is what stops a surface creeping sideways, and it is the first thing to look at when you judge someone's work.
Pavers bedded and compacted, or hot-mix asphalt rolled while it is still hot. Joints filled, levels checked against the fall you need for water.
Screeded bedding sand under paving, or a binder course under tar. Thin, even, and never used to hide a base that was not levelled properly.
Crushed stone laid and compacted in layers. This is the layer that carries the load, and the one nobody sees, which is exactly why it gets skipped by the cheap quote.
Break out what is failing, strip to firm material, and compact. If the ground underneath moves, everything above it moves with it.
Where we work
We are based in Vredekloof, Brackenfell, and most of our work sits within about half an hour of it. If you are outside this list, ask anyway — larger jobs we will travel for.

Questions
It depends on the area, what is already on the ground, and how much has to come out before we can start. We quote after looking at the site, and the quote covers materials, delivery, labour and clean-up. If something changes once we open the ground up, we tell you before we carry on, not after.
A domestic driveway or patio is usually a few days. Larger parking areas and commercial work run longer, mostly because the base work and curing set the pace. You get a start date and a working-day estimate with the quote.
Yes — CIDB Level 4, and BEE Level 4. That is what most schools, body corporates and municipalities need to see before they can invite a quote from us, so ask and we will send the certificates through.
Usually not for a standard wall up to 1.8 m, but it depends on your municipality and where the wall sits on the property. Anything higher, or on a boundary with a servitude, is worth checking first. We will tell you what we think applies and point you at the right department — we cannot approve it for you.
Most of the time, yes. Paver ranges and precast panel profiles change over the years, so an exact match is not always available, but we will bring samples of the closest we can get before you commit to it.
The whole job. Breaking out, levels, sub-base, kerbing, the surface, and the fence or wall line. That is the point of using us — the levels match at the joints and there is one person to phone if something is not right.
