Hard Landscaping

Textured and coloured concrete pavers will be used on the road service to make road users aware of pedestrian traffic that is prioritised where demarcated.
Concrete footpaths will be used where pedestrian traffic is directed to more private and intimate spaces in between the buildings. These private spaces in between the residential units should be paved with a high quality concrete paver that provide colour and texture.

Neighbourhood streets refer to roads where the pedestrians are the main user and car users are forced to slow down and be very careful where driving through these areas. These roads will become outdoor play areas where cycling, skateboarding and j-boarding takes place.

Seating walls located in the community park with associated Braai and Playground equipment, provide valuable informal elements around which the park landscape was designed.
