In true South African fashion Style and Craft are masterful at building the lapa! Studies suggest that children that grow up in households without Lapas struggle to grasp the concept of South African culture in adulthood. Ok you caught us, we’re just kidding but that’s not to say the lapa doesn’t form an important part of true South African culture. Many of us will have memories derived from under a lapa. Be it poolside, watching sporting events, be it a pub or resort, they’re quite simply cool and breath-taking additions to any piece of land. Traditionally the lapa consists of a thatched roof supported by wooden poles making it perfect for climates that require a cool shaded entertainment area. The lapa is commonly used in open or semi open entertainment areas and its design is very well suited to the African environment and climate. Lapas go exceptionally well in the wild too, few things are more relaxing than having the cool breeze caress your skin lying under the safety of a lapa on a game reserve. Oh, and of course we have to mention that cool beverage glistening as the light hits it!

Choose Style and Craft As paving experts you can trust!

Ever heard the term “fly-by-night”? If so then you know when a company operates this way it’s a clear sign of red flags. We as paving specialists can tell such companies apart from the real thing with relative ease but customers may find it slightly more difficult to be as discerning. You see for these fly-by-night companies success is virtually reliant of exuding an air professionalism and experience. The smart thing to do is always refer to previous work done by the company. No established company will have one or two clients as a point of reference. Another indication of legitimacy is a company that opens itself up to regulation and criticism. For example, Style and Craft are members of the Master Builders Association. We do this not only because we have a great deal of confidence in ourselves As paving specialists but that we are also aware that it gives customers peace of mind knowing we’re responsible enough to be accountable for our work.

In order to avoid disasters, it is very important that you do enough research before deciding which companies services to make use of. Some companies may offer cheap paving, however the paving that you are left with will probably leave a lot to be desired. This type of paving becomes "Cheap and nasty" when someone tackles the job and they do not have the qualifications necessary in order to do a respectable job. Cobble Paving is an art that requires a lot of knowledge and experience in the art of paving. As paving experts here at Style and Craft paving, we know what we are doing when it comes to any type of paving.

Cheap Paving

Before we tackle the subject of "Cheap Paving”, I would like to look at the definition of the word Cheap. Cheap- relatively low in cost, inexpensive or comparatively inexpensive.

When we look at Cheap Paving, the best definition as outlined above when considering paving is "relatively low in cost". Of the wide selection of paving choices in the market, Clay Cobble is the cheapest.

The Cheapest Paving available on the market is commonly known as Broken Brick Clay Cobble. This product is fantastic and very successfully applied on Driveways, Walkways and Courtyards and of course to neaten up areas in the garden where grass will not grow or the dogs keep on digging up.

This type of paving becomes "Cheap and nasty" when someone tackles the job that do not have the qualifications to do so. Cobble Paving is an art that requires a lot of knowledge and experience in the art of paving. Grouting the joints between the bricks needs to be carried out by a skilled artisan with the right knowledge and tools; the hardest paving to lay is the Clay Cobble Paving. 

As paving experts we recommend the best there is

as far As paving experts goes Style and Craft stay true to their name. We are bricks and paving specialists with quality in mind and passion in heart. Our dedication to our customers was been very well documented given our insistence on becoming member of the masters builders association so early in our journey. Today having subjected our work, products and workmanship to such stringent standards for so long, quality simply comes naturally.

While for us it may be just another day in the life of a paving specialist, other companies will make every attempt to emulate legitimately astute companies such as ours. Some with good intentions and bad workmanship, others with poor intentions and even poorer workmanship. The advantage our customers have is the distinct benefit of having a multitude of customers past and present able and willing to attest to the supreme nature of our work.

Being the tough industry that it is, companies that have failed to establish quality business relationships and smooth internal processes will struggle to compete with others like us in pricing as well as quality. As paving prices rise, Style and Craft are without a doubt your best bet at something extraordinary. As paving specialists we ask that you always remain vigilant of potential “fly by night” companies and “specialists whose work we have had to undue far too many times to recall!
