Choose Style and Craft As paving experts you can trust!


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. Fly-by-night companies would never take such steps, instead they would make every attempt at filling your head with smooth talk and charm. Luckily for you, you now know that as far As paving goes, the proof should always be in the pudding and if you can see the pudding it probably doesn’t exist!

Style and Craft: As Paving Specialists


Style and Craft: As Paving Specialists

As paving specialists, we here at Style and Craft aim to offer you bricks and paving services that are truly a cut above the rest. Our team is experienced in all aspects of paving services, offering you standards that go over and above the expected norm. As paving services are usually expensive, we do our best to provide our clients with cheap paving that is still of outstanding quality beyond compare. So far, we have succeeded in achieving this goal...
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. Grouting the joints between the bricks needs to be carried out by a skilled artisan with the right knowledge and tools. We offer our clients a team that has plenty of expertise, as well as access to state of the art tools that always get the job done right the first time. Although the hardest paving to lay is Clay Cobble Paving, it is one of our main specialties – and nobody does it better than we do here at Style and Craft!
As paving market leaders, we have serviced many schools and estates all over South Africa. Take a look:

    Cheap 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 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!

    As paving specialists we won’t let you down

    Our business is built on a key principle of stability and consistency. If you’re wondering why this makes successful as paving specialists then allow us pave a picture. In so far as the paving industry is concerned Style and Craft are often called upon to repair and reverse the work of shoddy companies in it for nothing more than their next meal. This is blatant lack of commitment and passion. Style and Craft however is a company that does things a little differently. With over 25 years’ experience in the industry our commitment and passion for unparalleled workmanship is certainly not in question.
    We have even made sure we’re part of the Gauteng Masters Builders Association which serves to ensure that the quality of our work s up to scratch!

    The lapa


    The lapa

    The lapa is one of the most uniquely African additions to any home or place of entertainment and Style and Craft certainly specialise in planning and building some of the most breath taking Lapas in the country. The lapa is can best be thought of as a variant of the much popular “gazebo” although the lapa has its own unique flare.
    We consider the lapa to have that ethnic touch and sophistication missing from even the most eye catching Gazebo. The lapa reminds us of the South African braai, although not unique in concept, it’s simply irreplaceable in implementation and experience. Where Americans will have their barbeques us Africans have their braai’s, while we’re not here to tell you which of the two is better, it’s pretty clear to see which is closer to home.

    Shade and memories

    Speaking of home, we believe customers seeking quality and durability will find just the lapa with us here at Style and CraftOur success hasn’t come from merely offering customers options from a brochure. Our success is built on the uncanny ability of selling our customers possibilities. Our workmanship and craftsmanship lead the industry. This is well documented as one of our first endeavours was to subject ourselves to scrutiny through one of the leading regulators in building and construction.
    When approaching us customers need not have vivid images of their final product as our staff are there to help surface their ideas and add to them if need be. Experience has taught us to nurture our customers’ needs in a manner than allows us to understand and surpass their expectations. The lapa can be used commercially, domestically or even to house and provide shade in large industrial like areas. The lapa is most commonly known as an open entertainment area with a thatched roof held up by poles.
    Our guarantee to our customers is that the lapa they receive from Style and Craft will be comprised of the finest most durable materials in the industry. The lapa can be a place of social and family gathering and considering the weather in summer, the lapa comes in handy as it provides a cool sanctuary where memories and good times are sure to be made.
