Types Of Pavers: Truly Spoiled For Choice

types-of-pavers

Wide Range Of Options On The Market

When it comes to the types of pavers, there are various options to suit your specific needs and personal tastes.

However, each type of paver has its unique features, advantages and considerations. Therefore, it is important to assess your particular requirements, budget and aesthetic preferences.

In order to get a realistic indication of the cost of the project it is best to select the type of paver first. As a professional paving contractor, we can help you make an informed decision to ensure the choice you’ve made is perfect for your project.

We Work In These Areas in Cape Town And Johannesburg

Specifically, in Cape Town, we install paving in Durbanville, Bellville Park, and the Southern Suburbs like Constantia, Claremont, Hout Bay, the City Bowl and Stellenbosch.

Then, in Johannesburg, we install paving in Sandton, Bryanston, Fourways, Randburg, Weltevreden Park, Little Falls, Honeydew, Ruimsig and Featherbrooke.

So if you live in or around these areas you have found a top-class paving contractor near you.

Competent Contractor To Get Your Return On Investment

To begin with, the most important factor to consider is the competency of the contractor. Not just in general, but specifically to properly install the paver you’ve chosen. Because different types of pavers require different skills to install correctly. Generally, most “contractors” can install a simple brick paver on a standard flat surface reasonably well.

However, installing flagstones, or XL slab pavers, is complex and requires a highly skilled installer. On top of their technical ability needed to deal with slopes and curves.

Ultimately, a great paver that is poorly installed will result in problems down the line. Which, of course, comes with a cost. Certainly, not the outcome anyone wants. Hence the importance of choosing a paving company that has a track record of installing the paver you’ve chosen. Definitely, a major factor when it comes to top-of-the-range pavers. Furthermore, the conditions of the area of the installation also come into play. Consequently, every aspect of the installation impacts on the final result.

Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the complexity of installing paving properly. Bear in mind that the overall look is not only determined by the type of paver you choose to install, but more so by the contractor you choose to install it.

Fortunately for our clients, we are a reputable paving contractor with extensive experience in paving installations, maintenance and repairs of all types of pavers.

Preparing For The Installation: Most Important Phase

Absolutely the most important stage of the installation process is the preparation phase. Without a doubt, it is a vital step in the process to guarantee a successful paving installation.

Yet this is precisely where the majority of paving contractors fall short.

Because poor preparation is not immediately evident. Secondly, it’s fairly easy to place pavers neatly on a surface. So at completion, the installation looks nice. But once the first heavy rains fall the signs of badly installed paving start showing.

As it’s the basis for the success of the project, there is no quick fix for this problem.

Client Reviews Of Our Work

We strive to be the BEST – not the cheapest – construction and paving contractor in SA. See what our clients say about our work:

I don’t usually write testimonials about companies that I deal with. But I must make an exception for Genesis Construction. When I decided to revamp my patio and pool area, which had wooden decking, I came across their website. They came out to the estate where I live and went about assessing how I wanted to refresh the look of the area with new paving. The consultant was knowledgeable and understood exactly what I had in mind. I pointed out that I was concerned about my daughter, who was a toddler and then hurting herself while playing in the garden during the construction process, and he assured me that the team would take every precaution to clear the debris as quickly as possible at the end of each day. Which they did. What really impressed me is that when issues arose, as they do in any form of renovation, Genesis dealt with it quickly. Their technical skill is also worth mentioning. The paving had to be installed with a few intricate angles and getting some of the corners and joins nicely finished required good attention to detail. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome and the experience and I would certainly use their services again. The revamped patio and pool area look great. I can highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a contractor who is a cut above the rest.

Genesis Construction is very professional, and honest, and at no time was there anything that was too much trouble for them to do. They worked each day until they had completed exactly what they said was going to be done. We recently had torrential rain in the Western Cape and I have not had a single leak. Laura and I cannot thank you enough for helping us sort out our difficult situation.

ALAN SCHUMER
I am writing this to recommend a professional paving company. Genesis Construction was appointed by the HOA to attend to various paving issues within the estate. They needed to reinstate our roads within the estate due to a mess that was made during the installation of fibre services. The staff was professional, and the work was always completed in a timeous and neat manner. There was ongoing supervision by management making sure that the work was completed to a professional standard. Complaints and queries were always handled in a professional manner. We can highly recommend the consideration of using Genesis Construction for all your paving and building requirements.

SHARON PALOS (HRE)
We have had the pleasure of working with Genesis Construction on two jobs. From the outset, Genesis Construction appeared to go a step further with unrequested drone footage of our site in order to present a proposal that gave us a clearer picture of the paving footprint. The price was fair and market-related. The quality of workmanship and service is good. I have no problem recommending them.
