What Accra clients say about our paving work
"Our old driveway pooled water every time it rained. Cornerstone redid it with a proper fall and drainage channel — no more standing water even in heavy rain."
"We chose interlocking block over concrete for the look, and Cornerstone was upfront that it needed a well-compacted sub-base to last. Two years on, no settlement issues."
"Heavy-duty paving for our small logistics yard, spec'd to handle forklift traffic. It's held up well under daily heavy use since installation."
Paving Contractors Accra questions answered
How much does paving cost in Accra?
Concrete driveway paving in Accra costs GHS 220–380 per m² in 2026. Interlocking block paving (Holland blocks): GHS 180–320 per m². Exposed aggregate concrete: GHS 280–450 per m². A standard residential driveway (40–60m²) typically costs GHS 9,000–27,000.
What is the best paving for Ghana's climate?
Reinforced concrete is the most durable paving for Ghana's climate — resistant to UV, heavy rain, and heavy vehicles. Interlocking Holland blocks are attractive and easy to repair but require a well-compacted sub-base to prevent settlement. Asphalt is cost-effective for large areas but softens in intense heat.
How long does a paved driveway last in Accra?
A properly installed reinforced concrete driveway lasts 20-25+ years with minimal maintenance. Interlocking block paving lasts similarly but is easier to repair locally if a section settles or cracks.
Do I need drainage as part of my paving project?
Yes, in most cases. Paving without proper surface drainage or a soak-away connection is a common cause of pooling water and flooding during Ghana's rainy season. We include drainage assessment in every paving quote.
Can existing damaged paving be repaired instead of fully replaced?
Sometimes. Cracked or settled interlocking block paving can often be lifted, the sub-base corrected, and the same blocks relaid — cheaper than full replacement. Concrete paving with structural cracking usually needs the affected section broken out and repoured.
Do you offer a warranty on paving work?
Yes — every paving job carries a written 6-month workmanship warranty. If settlement, cracking, or drainage issues appear that trace back to installation, we return and fix it at no charge.
