Cape Town Flower Show 2006

The roads to the Cape Town Flower Show were paved by Pavatile. Literally. Main Road, Somerset West attests to the durability of Pavatile's cobbles and and ClassiKerb over some fifteen years; visitors also passed through numerous white cobble traffic circles with black ClassiKerb edges along the road past Erinvale (where all the roads have been paved with Pavatile's products too); and once on the Lourensford Estate, they drove over traffic calmers formed by more cobbles from Pavatile. Pavatile's display (seen below, featuring application-specific landscaping products) won a Silver Medal! Find out more about the landscaping features we showcased.

Brightening up a lush estate

The Schneidermaiers' home is beautifully situated on the slope of Table Mountain, but the existing brick paving was jaded and dull. Boss Paving recommended Pavatile's products. Find out more.

Pavatile SlateBlok and cobbles
Richtersveld SlateBlok is combined here with cobblestone accent lines.
Cobbles and SlateBlok from Pavatile
The same concept, but in reverse: SlateBlok is used as accent lines between cobblestones.
Block paving: Pavatile's PolygoBlok
One of the many patterning possibilities of PolygoBlok.
Pavatile's EuroCobble in an autumn mix colour set.
Pavatile's Autumn Set is a mix of colours which creates a cosy effect in this cobblestone layout.
Cobble paving: Pavatile's EuroCobble
We're not limited to natural colours! This frivolous pattern uses modules from Pavatile's EuroCobble range in custom colours. This range is modular to conventional imperial brick. Note the triangle modules, which eliminate the need for cuttings at the edges of this herringbone pattern.
Cobblestones combined with conventional exposed aggregate pavers and brick.
Cheap paving products and conventional brick are combined with Pavatile cobbles, which serve to create a more upmarket effect.
Block paving: Pavatile's CellaBlok
One of Pavatile's oldest product ranges, the ever-popular CellaBlok.
Cobble paving: Pavatile's durable V&A Double Cobbles
Enormous exploding circles starting with a polygon formed by triangular modules intersect to create a fan-like effect in these durable cobbles.
Cobble paving: Pavatile's EuroCobble.
Using only four modules from the EuroCobble range, this architect-designed layout creates a completely different effect from conventional cobblestone paving!
Pavatile's coping with cobbles and brick.
Pavatile's pool coping includes ranges with a slate-like Richtersveld texture, as well as ranges with a non-slip Surefoot texture.
Pavatile's wall capping.
Wall capping from the Granito Collection.
Cobble paving: EuroCobble 50
It isn't always necessary to be fancy. An Italianate style home in upper Cape Town features simple charcoal cobbles.

Stonemasons garden blocks: flagstones with a rough granite surface emulation.

Now above, on the other hand, you see a totally weird garden. This woman ordered pebbles, but what she got instead were boulders. We took a picture before it was fixed up, and in fact I think it looks rather interesting, but it's probably too Afro-Zen to appeal to the owner of a Neo-Tuscan home. (Although this was, in fact laid at a Tuscan home.)

Oh, and the picture at the very top of the page? The Allies' pool in Bothasig. The Allie family chose SlateBlok 50 and Surefoot CurvaCoping in a Table Mountain Sandstone colour. Cool pool, hey?
