Our Services
We offer a full range of paving and tar services in Chatsworth and surrounding Durban suburbs. Every job we do is fully supervised and completed using materials that meet South African roadwork and building standards.
1. Driveway Paving
Your driveway is the first thing visitors see. We pave new driveways or upgrade old, cracked ones using bricks, cobblestones, or asphalt. Choose from a range of colours, styles, and patterns to suit your home’s look.
2. Tar Surfacing
Need a smooth, cost-effective surface for a road, complex, or car park? We lay long-lasting tar (asphalt) with a neat, finished edge. Our crew prepares the base properly so it doesn’t sink or crack after a few months.
Tar work includes:
- Tarred driveways
- Complex & estate roads
- School & church parking lots
- Industrial yards
- Footpaths & access roads
3. Brick & Block Paving
We install stylish block paving for homes, walkways, poolsides, and patios. Interlocking pavers give your space a smart, clean finish and are easy to maintain. We help you choose patterns that complement your home.
4. Repairs & Re-Tarring
Old tar or paving breaking apart? We do repairs, resurfacing, pothole patching, and full retar work. We’ll remove loose materials, refill damaged areas, and ensure it all blends in with the existing surface.
5. Kerbing & Edging
Good edges stop paving from spreading or sinking. We offer straight or curved kerbs in different colours to neaten the job and hold everything in place.
6. Site Preparation
Before paving, we make sure the base is level and well compacted. This helps your surface last longer. We handle excavation, compacting, and drainage where needed — so you don’t need to call another contractor.
What Makes a Good Paving Job?
A paving job that looks great on day one should still look good in five years. Here’s what separates a solid, long-lasting job from a quick patch-up:
- Proper base prep – We dig down to the right depth and compact the soil.
- Drainage planning – We slope surfaces so water flows off and doesn’t collect.
- Edge restraints – We install strong borders to stop shifting and spreading.
- Accurate levels – We avoid dips and high spots that cause puddles or wear.
- Right materials – From G5 base to quality bricks, we never cut corners.
Neat finish – Clean joins, no tar smudges, no loose sand.
