TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE & CAPABILITIES

Engineered Paving Maintenance & Repair

Driveway dips, pooling stormwater, spreading borders, and weed-choked joints deteriorate curb appeal and cause vehicle undercarriage damage. We restore structural stability without the expense of full replacement.

Sunken Paving Lift & Relay

Diagnostic lifting of settled driveways and walkways where wheel ruts, subgrade collapse, or trench settlement create water pooling and trip hazards.

  • Careful lifting and salvage of existing pavers
  • Crusher run & G5 mechanical plate compaction
  • Laser-straight screeding & seamless re-integration

Edge Beam & Kerb Restraint

Casting heavy-duty reinforced perimeter concrete haunching and resetting dislodged garden kerbs that permit outer paving bricks to drift loose.

  • Removal of crumbled legacy mortar edges
  • Sub-surface 25MPa concrete edge haunching
  • Prevents lateral spreading from vehicle tire torque

Tree Root Damage Remediation

Surgical excavation around aggressive tree root systems heaving driveway paving, paired with root pruning and root-deflector membrane barriers.

  • Arbor-safe invasive root trimming & shaving
  • Vertical root barrier installation
  • Sub-base re-leveling and interlocking paver relay

Rotary Pressure Cleaning

Industrial 250-bar flat-surface rotary pressure scrubbing to eradicate stubborn black algae, oil spots, efflorescence, and ground-in dirt without streaking.

  • Deep moss, mold & lichen bio-wash treatment
  • Even rotary coverage without striped wand marks
  • Eco-safe degreasing for engine oil stains

Joint Sanding & Compaction

Replenishing lost joint sand with kiln-dried, graded silica sand and vibrating into position to re-establish inter-block friction and lock pavers rigid.

  • Total purge of weed seeds from joint gaps
  • Pure graded kiln-dried silica sand sweeping
  • Rubber-mat plate compactor vibration

Protective Paver Sealing

Application of deep-penetrating polyurethane or acrylic sealants to lock joint sand in place, block weed germination, and enhance natural brick tones.

  • Hardens silica sand against rainwater washout
  • Wet-look gloss or natural matt protective finishes
  • Resists motor oil penetration & Highveld UV fading
PRIME BUILT SOLUTIONS STANDARDS

The 5-Point Quality & Workmanship Standard

Every paving project is managed with single-contractor accountability, engineering-grade materials, and spotless site discipline across Pretoria East.

01

Dedicated Site Foreman

Direct supervisory oversight on every paving repair. No unsupervised casual teams.

03

Clean-Site Discipline

Excess sand, waste rubble, and mud are carted away daily, leaving clean driveways.

04

Itemised Quotations

Clear scope covering square meterage, sub-base material, and labor. Zero hidden surprises.

05

Minimal Comebacks Standard

Engineered edge beams and proper drainage falls ensure your paving stays level for years.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Paving Repairs & Maintenance Insights

Key guidance on solving sunken driveways, loose perimeter edges, and joint degradation.

Paving settlement is primarily caused by insufficient sub-base compaction, water washing away bedding sand through cracked edges, or leaking underground stormwater pipes. We lift the sunken pavers, re-engineer and mechanically compact the G5 sub-base with crusher run, screed fresh sharp river sand, and relay your original pavers flush with surrounding levels.
Yes. In the majority of driveway and walkway repairs, the original clay, bevel, or interlocking pavers are completely reusable. We cleanly lift and stack your existing pavers, rectify the underlying foundation failure, and reinstall the identical pavers, saving substantial material costs.
Paving relies entirely on lateral restraint. If the concrete edge beam (haunching) was cast poorly or has cracked, vehicle traffic forces the pavers to spread laterally, causing wide gaps and weed growth. We excavate failed edges and cast heavy-duty reinforced concrete perimeter beams beneath the grass line to lock the paving matrix permanently.
Weeds take root when original joint sand washes out and is replaced by windblown organic soil. We blast out deteriorated dirt using high-pressure rotary washers, dry the joints thoroughly, sweep in fine kiln-dried silica jointing sand, vibrate the matrix with plate compactors, and optionally apply a joint-stabilizing polymer sealer.
