Ballpark figures, not quotations. Indicative 2026 estimates compiled from published Western Cape and national paving price guides and a Cape Town materials supplier price list, checked September 2026. Most sources do not say whether VAT is included, so confirm VAT on every quote. A site visit and a written quote set the actual price. See Paving Prices Cape Town for what these figures include.
Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Older homes. Small front gardens, narrow side passages and existing clay or brick paving are common. Matching old pavers may not be possible.
- Shared walls. Semi-detached and terraced houses share boundaries, so falls must not send water towards a neighbour's wall.
- Tight access. Narrow roads, steps and limited parking slow deliveries and rubble removal. Agree where materials and a skip will stand.
