Tshwane Ground Conditions That Change How Paving Is Built

Dolomite rock underlies about 450 km² of the City of Tshwane, covering most of Region 4 and parts of Regions 3 and 6, according to the City's 2025 council report on the Clifton Avenue sinkhole in Lyttelton Manor. The report names concentrated water ingress as the main cause of sinkholes. It cites South African research in SANS 1936-1:2012 reporting that 96% of recorded sinkholes and subsidences were man-induced. On a dolomite stand, the falls and the outlet for storm water are agreed at the site visit. The detail for Centurion is under paving in Centurion.

Every job is set out with a fall away from the house, so rain runs off the paving instead of standing against the walls.

The City of Tshwane's notice of 27 August 2026 states that its Level 1 water restrictions were never withdrawn and asks customers to use a broom instead of a hosepipe when cleaning driveways or patios.

Paving the Sidewalk Outside Your Stand

The City of Tshwane Work in the Public Road Reserve By-laws (Provincial Gazette 048, 11 February 2026), section 3(2)(i), list "kerbing, paving, bollards, walls, gardens, etc on sidewalks by property owners or occupiers" as work in the public road reserve that needs service-agency conditions before a wayleave is granted. Section 4(1) states that all work in the public road reserve is controlled by an approved wayleave. The City's 2026/27 tariff charges R2,800 including VAT to process a wayleave application. Paving Wiz Pretoria quotes the driveway inside the stand and flags any sidewalk crossing at the site visit.

How a Paving Job Runs

1. Quote request. The form gives the suburb, the rough size and the surface wanted.
2. Site visit. The area is measured, levels and falls are checked, and access for a wheelbarrow or a tipper truck is noted.
3. Written quote. Area in m², paver, pattern, sub-base, edging and removal of any old surface, line by line.
4. Excavation and sub-base. The ground is dug to depth, shaped to its falls and compacted in layers.
5. Edges, sand and pavers. Edge restraints go in first, bedding sand is screeded, and the pavers are laid in the chosen pattern.
6. Joints and compaction. Fine sand is brushed into the joints and the paving is plate-compacted.
