Common questions from Arcadia homeowners
How long does a typical Arcadia paving project take?
1-3 days for a 50-100m² driveway, plus 24-48 hours before you can drive on it. Larger or more complex projects take longer. The contractor gives you a specific timeline at the site visit.
Do I need permission for paving in Arcadia?
For freestanding homes in Arcadia, no municipal permit is usually needed. If you're in a security estate or HOA, check with the body corporate first — most have approved paver brands and colours. The contractor can guide you on this.
What's the best paver for Arcadia's conditions?
For most Arcadia projects, SABS-approved concrete or clay brick pavers in the 50-60mm range work well. Premium estates in Arcadia often have specific paver brand and colour requirements the contractor will know.
My existing paving is failing. Can it be repaired or does it need to be replaced?
Most sunken or cracked paving in Arcadia can be lifted, re-leveled, and re-laid at 30-50% the cost of full replacement. We recommend getting a free assessment before committing to replacement — the contractor will tell you honestly whether repair will hold.
