01 Selected Work

Real Projects, Real Ground

Every photograph on this site is our own work for real clients in Gqeberha and the Eastern Cape. Three projects, told properly.

Before: uneven flagstone path on bare soil between the house and street gate
After: the same yard paved as a full-width charcoal herringbone driveway

Drag the handle to compare the same yard before and after paving.

Residential · Before & After Gqeberha

Charcoal Herringbone Driveway

The starting point. An old crazy-paved flagstone path had broken up into loose stones and bare ground — an uneven surface running the full length of the yard between house and street gate.

The work. The old surface was lifted, the base prepared and compacted, and charcoal pavers laid in a herringbone bond with a contrasting border course along the walls and edges.

The result. A tight, uniform driveway across the full width of the property — built for daily vehicle use and a finish the owner sees every time they come home.

SPAR Eastern Cape Distribution Centre

The brief. A defined pedestrian walkway through the yard of a working regional distribution centre — a route people actually use, in an environment built around trucks.

The work. The route was cleared and set out with string lines, the base prepared, and the curved walkway laid in a herringbone field with edge courses holding the line through the bend.

The result. A clean, clearly defined walking route for a major distribution facility — one of the commercial and civil contracts we've completed across the Eastern Cape.

Commercial Gqeberha

Amanzi Guest House Parking

The brief. A guest house lives on first impressions — and the parking area is the first thing every guest crosses. The whole yard needed a surface to match the property.

The work. The full parking area was paved in a grey herringbone bond, laid wall-to-wall around the buildings and entrance.

The result. A neat, uniform surface across the whole yard — a first impression to match the guest house itself. This is also the photograph behind the hero of this website.

02 How We Build

The Finish Starts Under the Surface

Paving fails from below, not above. These are our own sites at the stages that decide whether a surface lasts.

  1. Cleared site with string lines set out before paving at the SPAR site

    Setting Out & Site Prep

    The area is cleared and cut, and levels and lines are fixed with string before a single paver is placed.

  2. Worker compacting the sub-base with a plate compactor

    Base & Compaction

    The sub-base is built up and plate-compacted in layers — the unseen work that keeps a surface flat under load.

  3. Team laying grey pavers in a herringbone pattern, roughly 60 percent complete

    Laying the Field

    Pavers go down to pattern — herringbone, stack bond or decorative — worked across a screeded bedding course.

  4. Team brushing jointing sand into finished paving

    Jointing & Finishing

    Joints are swept full of sand and the surface is finished and cleaned before we call the job done.
