Bloubergstrand, Big Bay and Sunset Beach line the coast north of Table View, with wide beaches, views of Table Mountain and Robben Island, and a growing number of homes, apartment developments and holiday properties. Close to the sea, outdoor surfaces face a tougher environment than they do further inland.
Coastal conditions
Three things shape how we build driveways and paving in Blouberg:
- Salt air and spray. Salt builds up on surfaces and corrodes steel gate tracks, drain grates and fittings. We choose coastal-grade fittings and recommend regular rinsing.
- Wind and sand. The summer south-easter and winter north-westers both blow sand across driveways and into drains. Sand trapped under tyres wears surfaces down, so we design drainage that is easy to keep clear.
- Sandy ground. Coastal sand has little strength until it is confined and compacted. A strong base and firm edge restraint are essential.
Typical properties
- Beachfront and near-beach homes in Bloubergstrand and Big Bay, often architect-designed, where finishes need to look good as well as last.
- Apartment and townhouse developments with shared parking, ramps and visitor bays.
- Security estates with internal roads and entrance areas.
- Holiday rentals and guest houses needing tidy, practical guest parking.
Finishes that work at the coast
Many Blouberg homes combine a tar driveway with brick paving borders, forecourts and pool areas. Lighter-coloured pavers stay cooler underfoot in summer, which is welcome near the beach. We help you choose finishes that suit coastal conditions and your home’s style.
Complexes and estates
We help bodies corporate and estate managers with:
- Pothole repairs and crack sealing.
- Slurry seal and resurfacing of ageing internal roads.
- Speed humps and line marking.
- Parking areas for visitors and residents.
Planning around the season
Blouberg is busiest in the summer holidays. Many owners of holiday homes prefer work done outside peak season, and complexes often prefer quieter months too. We plan with you to find the right time.
Apartment ramps and basement entrances
Many newer Blouberg developments have parking under the building, reached by a ramp. Ramps are a special case: they carry every car in the building, they must grip in wet weather, and water running down them has to be caught before it reaches the basement. We resurface ramps with a hard-wearing asphalt, shape the transitions at the top and bottom, and check that the grid drains at the foot of the ramp are clear and properly sized for coastal storms.
