Wynberg is one of the oldest parts of the Southern Suburbs, with the historic cottages of Chelsea Village, the larger homes of Upper Wynberg on the slopes towards Wynberg Hill and Constantia, and the busy commercial area and transport hub around Main Road. It has a mix of very old and much newer properties, so no two jobs are quite alike.
Old cottages and narrow access
In Chelsea Village and the older parts of Wynberg, homes are often semi-detached or terraced cottages with very narrow access, a small front garden or courtyard, and sometimes a shared driveway. Equipment access needs planning. We use compact machines, hand-lay asphalt or pavers where needed, and still compact everything properly so the result lasts.
Heritage character matters here too. For historic cottages, we often suggest brick paving in clay pavers or cobbles rather than large black tar surfaces, or a tar driving strip with a paved border to soften the look.
Upper Wynberg slopes
Upper Wynberg is on sloping ground with more space, larger homes and longer driveways. Winter rain runs down from the higher ground, so drainage is a priority. We design falls to keep water away from garages and front doors, and install channel drains where the slope makes this necessary.
Common Wynberg jobs
- New tar driveways and driveway resurfacing for family homes.
- Paved courtyards and parking pads for cottages and townhouses.
- Parking areas for schools, churches, medical practices and shops near Main Road.
- Pothole repairs and crack sealing on older surfaces.
- Line marking for shared parking and complexes.
Shared driveways
Shared driveways are common in Wynberg. Where a driveway serves two or more homes, we are happy to meet all the owners, explain the work and provide a quote that can be split between them. We also plan the work so that each household keeps access for as long as possible.
Neighbourly working
Streets in Wynberg can be narrow and parking scarce. We keep our footprint small, clean up daily and let you know in advance when deliveries and noisy rolling will happen.
Upper Wynberg slopes
On the higher ground, larger homes have longer driveways that need good drainage and firm edges against landscaped gardens.
Wynberg Main Road businesses
Shops and offices along Wynberg’s busy Main Road and the transport hub area need parking that is resurfaced quickly with minimal disruption. We can work over weekends and re-mark bays the same day.
