Green Fix is a paving and landscaping contractor based in Plattekloof, Cape Town. We install driveways, patios, pool surrounds, walkways and artificial lawns, and we take on commercial paving and repair work across the city — from the Northern Suburbs and the West Coast to the Southern Suburbs and Atlantic Seaboard. Everything we publish comes from work we quote and build ourselves: real rand prices, the Cape-specific conditions that decide whether paving lasts — winter rainfall, Cape Flats sand, Durbanville clay and the south-easter — and straight answers about when a job is worth doing and when it isn't.
