Frequently Asked Questions in Kenilworth
What is the most durable type of paving for a driveway in Kenilworth?
For the heavy traffic and varied Cape Town weather, we recommend interlocking concrete block paving or brick paving. These materials offer exceptional strength and, thanks to the way they interlock, they distribute weight very effectively, leading to a much longer lifespan with minimal maintenance.
How long does a typical driveway paving project take in Kenilworth?
A standard residential driveway (approx. 50-70m²) typically takes between 3 to 5 working days from start to finish. This includes site preparation, foundation work, laying the pavers, and final sealing/clean-up. Larger or more complex projects (like pool surrounds or commercial areas) will be scoped individually.
How long does paving last in Cape Town’s weather?
With proper installation and care, paving can last 20–30 years or more.
