Hints for a successful paving job

Choose a quality product
When choosing simulated stone or other cast concrete products, pay attention to details such as the accuracy of casting, and in the case of larger blocks, whether they tend to develop circular stains and dark patches. Inconsistently sized blocks make it difficult for the installer to do a neat job. Ask your paving supplier what measures have been taken in manufacture to ensure that the product will lay easily and last a long time.
Choose the right modules for your application
There are both technical and aesthetic reasons why a product which looks good at a glance may not work for what you have in mind. Pavatile has many unique products designed to accommodate tricky situations such as split levels and unusual corners, and non-slip products for pool surrounds.

When looks count
The image of a luxury spa on the way to Franschhoek — a place of refinement and attention to detail — is marred by shoddy paving. The fake stones in the courtyard are riddled with blow-holes, while the parking area boasts a poor installation of a product unsuited to its application.
 
Use of proper edger modules, such as those installed at Bella Rosa, would be one step towards fixing the problem shown above.

Ensure that the ground preparation is professionally done
Skimping at this crucial stage means wasting a lot of money in the long run, because without proper ground preparation, any paving job will fail sooner or later, regardless of the quality of the products are used. A civil engineer who specialises in ground preparation can be a valuable ally.
